The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.

These are people. They may be unhoused, many by no fault of their own, due to mental illness, medical debt, unforeseen circumstances, etc. No one gets to decide they (& their only belongings) aren’t worthy of respect & compassion. How much was spent on ICE livery instead of HELPING them?

Mamadani won NYC mayor Dem primary & Jeffries & Schumer won’t endorse him. Omar Fateh won the Minneapolis mayor Dem primary & Tim Walz won’t endorse him. Bowman & Bush were Dem incumbents & the Party let AIPAC primary them. "vote blue no matter who"🙄 Any wonder the party has 26% approval rating?

Always someone who thinks there’s a subset of the despised that can be carved off to appease Eater of the Immortal Sun of Heaven, Lugash-Urchanipalyam IX, the Unholy and Insatiable Despiser. No matter how many times you drop the First They Came For bit, someone pops up and says ya but im different

Netanyahu is going to prolong the wars and chaos in his country to avoid criminal prosecution for all his crimes.

Rep. Mark Pocan on my show Wednesday made it clear that Benjamin Netanyahu “is a war criminal. There's a warrant for his arrest by the International Court and he should be treated as such." He’s 100% correct!

1. State AGs have sued Trump for intimidating providers from providing trans care. Meanwhile, institutions are dropping trans people left and right out of fear of Trump. Suing Trump isn't enough. State AGs MUST enforce equality laws against cowardly orgs. Subscribe to support my journalism.

A long time ago I spoke an attorney in the Dakota Access Pipeline case, and the GOP has been trying since at least then to implicate EVERYONE in a protest based on the behavior of one person under RICO. It's how they intend to jail dissidents. Keep an eye on this shit.

The MSM is pushing the NFL-concussion story really hard and barely questioning why the only person he actually killed was a Blackstone CEO responsible for the housing crisis. Weird

NPR@npr.org

The gunman accused of killing four people in New York City suspected he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE — a degenerative brain disease often associated with football players.

UPDATE: Israeli soldiers have BOARDED the Handala aid flotilla. Cameras being shut down. Volunteers’ hands are up. The ship seeking to give aid to Palestinians is carrying volunteers from the US, France, Italy, UK, Spain, Australia, and more.

if anything, the deluge of military equipment that has poured into America’s police forces over the past couple decades has made them more cowardly, not less Uvaldes everywhere you look

There's a whole lot of folks in politics and media who low-key believe they can get through this era unscathed if they just keep their head down and don't piss off Trump. And some have multiple degrees earned by reading texts that specifically warned about the foolishness of this strategy. Tragic.

Funny how “trimming the fat” means axing PBS, not the subsidy that helps billionaires write off their private jets.

I love how mainstream media reports stuff like, “young people are poor bc of avocado toast,” and not “a tiny network of the super rich have conspired for decades to buy off world governments and set up offshore tax havens to evade taxes, meanwhile wages have stagnated since 1970”

What I feel about Gavin Newsom doing performative transphobia to win the Center is the same way I felt about leftists doing performative misogyny to win over the mythical White Working-Class Man: If you have to become your enemy in order to win, then your enemy always wins.

Kristi Noem cut off call center contracts leaving Texas' thousands of flood victims stranded with no one to call. She did it because they are running a massive 125 billion dollar budget increase over their immigration bullshit.

"Train is the new private jet." Dua Lipa continues to promote taking the train over flying, boarding a Eurostar to London at Gare du Nord. This is climate-conscious messaging done right. Posted by lejeuneengage on IG.

Tomi Lahren just posted on the other place that the federal government should “let California go” and that California should get “not one dime.” Where does she think the federal government gets most of its dimes?

ICE is no longer immigration enforcement. It’s a sprawling secret police with a budget bigger than some nations’ armies. No oversight. Questionable training. Just masks, unmarked vans, and executive authority. If you think this stops at the border, you’re not paying attention.
