For far too long, the story of Jeffrey Epstein has revolved around whether Donald Trump sexually abused an underage girl, committed other contemptible acts, or corruptly covered it up

When it should have always been about the victims

President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987
YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

It was actually built in 1935 to 1936. Close enough. Sound familiar?

One of my role models for the Trump era (since 1.0) has been @joycevance.bsky.social, whom I look up to for her impeccable legal commentary, ability to do a million things, and inspiration. I can’t wait to read her book β€” thank you, Joyce! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/801635...

A black and white photo of a young black man, standing near the US Capitol on a clear day with a large sign that reads:
I want you to stop being afraid:
of other Americans
of other religions
of other classes
of other nations
of speaking out.
You’re Americans.
Act like it!
If you don’t get it, ask an American who does.

A timely reminder:

One of the (many) legal gaps that needs to be filled after this nightmare is over is to prohibit federal law enforcement agencies from using federal funds to create propaganda videos with anyone in custody. This is all about spectacle and content creation, remove the incentive and the means

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

APA Statement on White House Announcement on Autism In reaction to today’s White House announcement, the American Psychiatric Association issued the following statement:

In case there’s any interest in what ACTUAL psychiatric physicians have to say about autism, vaccines, acetaminophen, and Leucovorin.

Can we stop playing MAGA games with children’s health?

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

I wish a very happy β€œfuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics

Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either

This is why we fight for *everyone*
