1/ Be on the lookout for a major thread from @jennycohn.bsky.social, who is piecing together what happened around Brazil's elections. She is leagues ahead of me on this, so I'll just flag the pieces that make her work worth waiting for. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

“A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s. The Department of Justice & FBI are doing everything they can to keep the American people in the dark about it.”

Johnny tried to ruin “creep” with the guitar muting in the chorus, and it only made it more successful. Then they tried to make their music increasingly more difficult and offputting and it only made them more successful. And for a long time they just hated it
It's pretty wild to hear Thom Yorke talk about OK Computer. The success of that album seemed to be a mindfuck for him.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

Our billionaire psychopaths are skimming dystopian sci-fi for business ideas. Ugly people with ugly lives who want to create an ugly world. Destroy all beauty and test how inhumane and awful they can be. Maybe kitten suicide bombers will be their next big idea. Society must reject these assholes.

I went with @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and @maxwellfrost.bsky.social yesterday to the Trump-Epstein Reading Room in Detroit, a traveling exhibit which displays all 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files. I’m so grateful for the hard work to make this exhibit happen.

Trump is going after people who default on loans? That's rich, coming from a man who in 2008 failed to repay roughly $287 million in loans tied to his Chicago skyscraper project. He also sought forgiveness from countless other loans for millions of dollars because he couldn't afford to pay them.
The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them. The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms.

Zelenskyy explicitly proposed a cease-fire on energy infrastructure multiple times. Russia rejected it. Zelenskyy also pushed for a mutual ban on long-range strikes. Russia rejected that as well. The only thing Zelenskyy has refused to do is surrender or cease resisting Russian aggression.
