NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.

“This is Alice’s friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice’s wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing.” Below, the main message continues in paragraph form: “Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

Alice Wong ask that this be posted after her passing. Honoring that.

Trump is so dumb sometimes. he thinks by going after Dems connected to Epstein it will some how help him. Like Dem electeds will back off because they are scared. The difference between GOP and Dems is that GOP won't hold Trump accountable, Dems say hold them all accountable.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe.

Share it widely.

Women can tolerate the Epstein stuff better with more endurance because it isn’t anything that hasn’t happened to someone we all know more or less. And we won’t rest until Virgina Guffrie & the 1,000 other victims get some kind of justice because they’re doing it for us all.

Not the trans kids who can legally be bullied now. But we should count the win, you are right.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

SHAME

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

COMMENTARY: Choose people over politics in helping our neighbors through the government shutdown

Locked in with @arimelber.bsky.social.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Stop shaming the poor

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states: “FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine. They do not have large cocaine factories. They do not produce fentanyl either. What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

on this day in 1892 Ida B. Wells first publishes Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases.

“The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.”

If you have the time, this is a solid (long) interview with #grahamplatner
My take: he’s a no bullshit candidate that could potentially be great for Maine and the country.

"Brown liquid"? Are you fucking kidding me? Are you all wussy little aristocrats who would not dare mention TRUMP'S NERVOUS DIARRHEA? That he showed us he's full of shit, and also terrified.

#NoKings, Newton, MA.

Of the thousands there, no one I asked knew where the protestor pay stations or the Antifa sign up tables were.

I made this to honor the passing of Ace Frehley
