Collecting these data is hard AF so I would interpret this as a lower bound. LOTS of us are charged for our behavior during pregnancy *because* we are pregnant.

This is highly suggestive of a senior government officer on the take. “Hegseth reported at least $3.1mn in cash, retirement investments and bitcoin in his newly released 2025 annual financial disclosure. One bank account held more than $1mn, compared with a normal $15,001–$50,000 range for an

I know there is so far to go. But before Weinstein, in America, a famous White man had never been convicted of the rape of an adult woman. Now several have. Something shifted. Not to where it needs to be, but in the right direction.

OK - now at sentencing of Alon, Oren and Tal Alexander; 11 victims to speak as US Attorney's Office is asking for life in prison for each. Inner City Press covered the trial (Hamptons Horror book: play.google.com/store/books/... ) and will live skeet, thread below

Alon, Tal and Oren Alexander – three brothers who once lived at the height of wealth and society in New York and Miami – were each sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for sex trafficking and other crimes. https://cnn.it/4zOjewI

Instead of asking parts of our coalition to vote for candidates that underbus them, let's all vote for primary candidates that can hold our entire coalition together. This is a post about Turek.

Remember when RFK speculated covid was genetically engineered to spare Jews and Chinese people?

Hey, you already knew RFK Jr is a crackpot piece of shit working to kill millions of people, but did you know he's a *racist* crackpot piece of shit working to kill millions of people?

Um, what? The Middle East is the home of countries with really simple names: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Oman, Yemen. Is he confusing the Middle East with the Caucasus and Central Asia? The guy who went to Yale Law School knows the difference. He's just being a bigot.

JD Vance says of the Middle East that it's "a region of the world made up of countries whose name I couldn't even pronounce"

Turek publicly urinated all over his progressive supporters and now he's going to lose. Since he was the next Manchin anyway, once we have the gavel we don't need him, and the gavel turn on Texas.

I BEEN SAYIN'!!! Glad someone finally noticed that Trump has a deeply personal hatred of the Kennedys.

Zeddy@zeddary.bsky.social

Trump II as very specifically an effort to erase JFK seems like an underdiscussed angle. Bulldozed Jackie's rose garden, threatening to bulldoze the Kennedy Center, stripped the Kennedy blue off Air Force One, shuttered USAID, put JFK's animal torturing nephew in charge of reviving polio, now this

bluntly this is also what destroyed LBJ and led to the nixon landslide, yes vietnam also mattered and was probably #1, but the white working class was infuriated that black folks would also benefit from the great society programs

The “something” in question was the workers themselves deciding by 1966 that they no longer wanted New Dealer welfare capitalism if it meant black Americans would benefit from it while anti-war protesters were free to burn the flag

Beatrice Keul, testified that she was introduced by Jeffrey Epstein to Donald J Trump, who then brutally raped her in a hotel room in Atlantic City, NJ, and her claims were deemed credible by a panel of the House Judiciary Committee today. The NYT has decided that this is not reportable news.

Wait til you see what the US markets do when Trump loses some of his power to direct favors to allies, slash taxes, allow mergers and stamp out investigations.

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.
