4. Trump Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick Lied About Contact with Epstein: Howard Lutnick said that his last contact with Epstein was in 2005. The files reveal that he visited Epstein’s island in 2012, and in 2017, Epstein donated $50,000 to a charity dinner in honor of Lutnick.

Claire Lehmann: Who would be a good person to write an essay about the Epstein story being a moral panic?

Charles Manson.

RIP to everyone killed by Isaac Chotiner for their hubris but I’m different. and better. maybe even better than Isaac Chotiner

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.

CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?

DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.

C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?

DR: Now look

there should be a specific word for the way you feel when people promote your book (that's good!) because of a national disgrace of state sanctioned cruelty (that's bad!) that you wrote said book specifically to address (so it's doing its job) but that you don't want your book to relevant (ever)

Attending/hosting a poetry reading is one of my favorite forms of community building.

Look, the pie is fine. Just try some! It'll be delicious, I promise. 🩸

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

I’m getting to a fascinating place in my life where I’m not sure if I care if something I write is good as long as it is written. This after receiving 2 rejections, so stay tuned, cuties 😘 ✌🏼

WATCH: I joined Univision this week to discuss what we are witnessing across the country as the administration’s mass deportation agenda unfolds in real time.

I been saying this for a while, but tooooo many men are walking around these streets thinking women can’t or won’t fight.

Which I find crazy bc back in my day the security, who would break up boy fights, were told not to interfere in girl fights bc they were nastier.

The pleaser can be dangerous when applied with vehemence.

Do she know what she doing?

It do not matter… God will show you how to beat that man’s ass

Never again will I let a man spout this utter bullshit to me. 9 pm? When did you do the dishes? The laundry? Who vacuumed? And what about her discipline?

It is also v much the mindset of a 23 year old with a wealth of privilege

it's a good day for art and it's a good day for revolutionary thinking

It could take a generation to recover the talent lost from federal science.

But it doesn't have to. We should be ready to scale up the Presidential Management Fellowship program to triple what it once was and rebuild U.S. capacity by 2030.

guys omg have you heard the rumor I'm starting about Vance strategically knocking up his wife to distract from the Erika Kirk affair

Your work is so appreciated, and so are you.

The history books covering this period of American history are going to be FASCINATING.

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

Start the search with ‘RWA problematic 2018’ and you’ll get there

A black bear (who is brown colored) swimming across a blue pool. He is headed for the floating blue pool ball we bought for him. He is also closer to my pool hoses than I am happy with, but you can (and we do) always buy new pool hoses. Can’t buy a new pool bear.

Swimming past the blue ball.

Patch alert! He must have made a New Year’s resolution to swim laps to lose weight. Made it across and back twice. Keep at it, bud.

When I saw that ice agent say “fuckin bitch” after shooting Renee I knew *exactly* what sort of men they have unleashed and armed all over America - in fact I felt it deeply somewhere and I know that so many women understand what I mean.

Was intrigued, rereading the wonderful The Ghost of Thomas Kempe, to find somebody’s house having central heating being noted as remarkable. In 1973!

And indeed, only about 30 percent of UK homes would have had central heating when the book was published.

There is a lot to say about how we are collectively experiencing a form of trauma.

This is quite a post

The abolitionist movement was attacked for the prevalence of white women among their ranks (and had some vicious internal fights about whether to include or exclude them from abolitionist organizing).
