It's wrong to think the Epstein files are a separate issue from affordability.

The argument is easy: Trump is raising prices on ordinairy people, while taking bribes right out in the open to make himself richer.

HIs connection to a wealthy pedophilia ring illustrates his greed and depravity.

In the year 2025, the number of US billionaires is 867.
They possess $7.6 trillion.
If we ate them and divvy up their collective assets, every American would receive a little more than $22k

I'm not saying you have to make a decision on it now.

Just think about it.

Silent Sentinels - Wikipedia

Today in 1915, 33 female protesters, members of the Silent Sentinels who picketed the White House daily to ask for voting rights for women, experienced the "Night of Terror," being brutally tortured and beaten by the workhouse guards and the superintendent at the prison where they had been sent.

Sharon Camp, Mother of the β€˜Plan B’ Contraceptive Pill, Dies at 81

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.

(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)

Great obitβ€”no paywall.

In 2025, 40% of American women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity.

The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

For years, people argued that there's no point in taking climate action unless China is onboard. I'm at a COP30 event where Chinese government officials and renewable industry reps are outlining the fast-paced renewable energy transition and long-term carbon neutrality plan. The story has flipped.

Epstein wrote that Trump knew of sexual abuse but didn’t participate That account, included in a new tranche of documents, conflicts with Trump’s denial of ever knowing about Epstein’s solicitation of underage prostitution before Epstein’s 2008 plea deal.

Everyone who is tempted to write a minimizing headline like this, take a beat and remember: if this is the worst stuff out there, then there's no reason not to release the full Epstein files.

Trump is covering up for a reason. Don't be complicit.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

The level of billionaire ass-kissing in this email is off the charts.

THIS IS WHY we don’t want to center our society around billionaires.

Every billionaire is a policy failure and a threat to democracy. Look at this shit.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

The coldest air on the planet - relative to normal - is over FL now! The cold pool is being forced south by overwhelming Arctic warmth.
While FL won’t bear the brunt for much longer, the Arctic will become even more off-kilter over the coming weeks. That means weather shenanigans will abound!

On the Senate Dems Courageously Caving to the GOP

The Democrats encouraged Trump’s crime spree. Weakness in the face of lawlessness does not appease it. It endorses it. That’s what these eight Democrats, plus Schumer, have done. Trump was already hurting people to avoid compromise and force the Democrats into submission. Now he knows what works.

Democrat Aftyn Behn's chances of winning GOP Tennessee House seatβ€”Polls Democrats are eyeing the seat as a sleeper flip following a string of overperformances in special elections this year.

For any of y’all upset about the Democrats in DC caving and getting absolutely nothing in their vote to end the shutdown, we’ve got a special election in Tennessee and a chance to flip a congressional seat. @aftynbehn.bsky.social is the Dem nominee running on a platform of affordability.

What radicalized you?
Nothing.
Not wanting people to starve and suffer is not radical, it's normal. Stop saying it's radical to be base level empathetic, and start asking what made people into sadists.
Call out sick behavior, because I'm tired of people thinking kindness shouldn't be the default.
