N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

It’s the Epstein Administration.

No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting.

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:

“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”

The ad aged. The internet remembers.

Every sane person in the world: “These victims deserve justice for what they endured at the hands of Epstein and other dangerous people!”

AG Pam Bondi: “THE DOW IS OVER 50,000 RIGHT NOW!”

This is absolutely terrifying.

“He’s my first born,” Susan Pretti said. “He’s the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day.”

“No,” her husband said.

Report at Business and Human Rights Centre reads: Morocco: Global brand garment factories accused of labour abuses against women workers; incl. co. response

Text reads: Workers in Morocco’s garment sector, mostly women, reportedly face widespread informal employment, wage violations, repression of union activity, and hazardous working conditions in factories and workshops producing for global brands, including Mango. Workers in both legally established factories and informal subcontracted workshops describe excessive production targets, unpaid overtime, lack of access to basic hygiene facilities, and workplace harassment. A former worker cited producing garments for Mango and Zara under intensified quotas that led to deteriorating health conditions and irregular layoffs. NGOs and unions report that minimum wages are rarely paid outside unionised factories, and union activity often leads to threats, dismissals, or isolation. The rise of informal outsourcing, lack of effective enforcement, and recent legislative changes further restrict freedom of association, especially for women. Some employers have declared bankruptcy while owing unpaid wages and severance, leaving workers with little recourse.

Issues have come up as recently as last summer. It's difficult to adjudicate every single claim because Zara always has some excuse. But ask yourself: why has this company attracted so many claims for so long? IMO, the issue is structural: fast fashion is inherently exploitative.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

It’s almost like they’re building the most effective, wide reaching human trafficking system right before our eyes.

A backgrounder is someone who conducts background checks.

You know who can also testify as to what was happening with Epstein and don’t need clemency?

His victims.

a Norwegian man crying on air while being interviewed, with his biathlon stats besides him

In the interview with NRK, he first started by thanking everyone who has helped him on the path to his first individual Olympic medal. And then – unprompted – he made an admission: – And then there's someone I wanted to share it with who might not be watching today. Six months ago I met the love of my life. The most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her, and I told her about it a week ago. It's been the worst week of my life, he says tearfully in the interview.

new most bizarre moment of the Olympics just dropped

Norwegian biathlete wins bronze medal, then, totally unprompted, reveal he cheated on his GF, she left him, and he wants to apologize publicly hoping she takes him back

That’s what’s up.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?
