Christian Nationalists are treating the Epstein files like they treat their Bibles and our Constitution: They are *ignoring* them.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

It’s so hard to have a reasonable conversation about AI, because people refuse to see the massive upsides of job elimination, higher electrical bills, hard drive shortages, poisoning black people in Memphis, and an economy where a handful of pedos with bad hair control your life

There should be more mixed doubles, too.

RIP Bud Cort. How else would you even pay tribute to him.

@pingree.house.gov We demand that the impeachment process must begin. Now. This woman is dangerously unfit.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax in order to vote. It's voter suppression, pure and simple.

Same here! I need to put new batteries in some of the candles. This little tree makes me happy every day.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

In every other presidential universe that would end someone. Period. Around here, that’s Friday. Blaming a staffer?? Name and fire the staffer then, but from all the racist tropes coming out of that rat hole it could be anybody .

She had to have known Bill was a pedophile - all she had to do was look at his porn stash. He used to come into the Tower Books in Bellevue and buy the latest issues of Barely Legal and Panty Play and the like. He’d also buy the latest book about the tech industry and paid with a 100 dollar bill.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Thank you @democrats.senate.gov for voting unanimously for Senator Sanders’ Amendment to strip ICE of BBB funding. Can you please demand the Sanders Amendment as a condition to fund DHS now that you’ve successfully separated it from the larger spending package?

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files, a criminal rapist dictator who is guilty AF is currently hiding them.
