So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

webworm.coEverlee Has DisappearedEverlee Wihongi was transferred by ICE to the notorious "Camp East Montana" at Fort Bliss, Texas. Then she disappeared.

Brianna Wu just said, and I'm not exaggerating, that she hopes we can develop an in utero genetic test to detect trans people, and we should abort them. the reason why is because of the challenges they will face. so kill the oppressed instead of making the oppressors not be bigots. nice!

I wish our default on this was always that victims have autonomy. and will weigh the various pros and cons to themselves on how they proceed. and that's okay. the problem here is the person perpetrating this stuff, not the victim's response.

we don’t owe the “why didn’t she report it” crowd a single response

so this is a primary source, deathbed confession in essence along with an absolutely explicit statement that our president is in fact a practicing pedophile. Trump must be prosecuted and face Justice for his crimes.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

for those of you, like me, who are looking to curate a list of reliable news/takes on what's going on. this is a pretty good place to start. smart people who are going to piss you off on occasion because they don't agree with your preconceived notions. (spoiler alert: they know a lot)

To those of you who can’t follow directions and didn’t sign up for the email, here’s a browser link for my first @documentedny.bsky.social column. It’s gonna run every other Friday. We’re calling it THE THROUGHLINE: where politics, policy, and lived reality meet. mailchi.mp/7c817f3b533d...

I've just uninstalled Spotify from all my devices. I encourage you to do the same. 1. they support fascism via platforming ICE advertising. (advertising which is materially false representation of what ICE doing) 2. they exploit labor through absolutely inadequate artist compensation.

Trump won the 2024 elections by a little over 2 million votes. as of today he's illegally withholding SNAP benefits from around 25 million voters (about 40% of SNAP recipients are children. 86% of recipients report income)

your occasional reminder that Trump is sitting on emergency funds for exactly this purpose. and probably illegally withholding them. this entire shutdown is entirely on Trump and the GOP. in case you had any doubts which.. you know you shouldn't have

so there is no study about circumcision and Tylenol and autism and anything else. this is simple anti-semitism. not Palestine, this is actual anti-semitism encouraged by not only RFK jr, but his boss who wants jew lawyers

the Marines put out a recruitment ad on social media. it shows them tackling Urban situations with lights on and finally landing on a debris ridden Street. the people who make these decisions are saying exactly what you think they're saying. you get to shoot your neighbor

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Apple removes apps that allow for anonymous reporting of ICE activity. just in case you had any doubt that caving to Trump by giving him million dollar bribes doesn't buy you anything. don't pay bullies, all you're buying is more bullying.

I have to say that the proliferation of AI responses on search engine results. and not just search engine results. is very disturbing to me, because they're extraordinarily hit and miss. but people are going to take them at face value when they are often fundamentally wrong. They're always promoted

meanwhile... but by all means, let's let one of an average of 63 murders that happened in this country every day dominate every new cycle instead of discussing these things about the sitting president of the United States

Here's the docket from the lawsuit where the preponderance of evidence shows that in 1994, Donald John Trump raped a 13 year old girl, a sex slave trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell. www.courtlistener.com/docket/4524664/doe-v-trump/

I don't know what's up, but a reminder that you and I and most people don't know where the DNC headquarters are.

Joshua J. Friedman@joshuajfriedman.com

via @burgessev.bsky.social: Senate staff just got an alert: "Capitol Police are responding to an incident at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Headquarters. Staff are asked to remain clear of the police activity."

a reminder that we should not be wasting our energy and capital on the Charlie Kirk murder. we should be bringing the Epstein files, the book and these emails that Bloomberg has back to the front. clear evidence of our sitting president complicit with, and doubtlessly participating in pedophilia

One email attachment, a spreadsheet, tracked nearly $2 million in spending: • A $71K Lexus for Alan Dershowitz • A $35K watch for a top Clinton aide • Lingerie and wire transfers to teenage girls

It ought to go without saying that the Trump/Hegseth missile thing is first and foremost and extrajudicial killing in international waters. I.e. murder. And secondly illustrates the danger of letting emotionally stunted people play soldier.

free slurpees are very much, for me, in the same category as free chicken McNuggets. last time the latter were offered to me with no other purchase required, at lunch time. I didn't go over from the other side of the parking lot to get them.

Ann Coulter saying publicly that "we didn't kill enough Indians" is much more important than it seems. The right feels it's publicly acceptable to talk about the extermination of unfavored people as a people. Combine that with concentration camps, a massive secret police state...

WaPo instantly accepts the framing that Trump is "pausing all tariffs" which even excluding China is not true, he's leaving 10% on everybody, and adding 10% to the previous paused tariffs on Canada and mexico. It's not pausing any tariffs. It's reducing some of them. But Bezos must have approved
