Jess Michaels, Epstein survivor: “This moment began with Epstein's crimes, but it's going to be remembered for survivors demanding justice, demanding truth, demanding accountability…We are one powerful voice, too loud to ignore, and we will never be silenced again.”

I agree - it would be great to see them post here as well. There is currently an unofficial mirror account that provides the posts on Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/govp...

Today in history, 1945: George Orwell’s novella “Animal Farm” is first published. The story is a satire of Stalinist Russia involving a group of anthropomorphic farm animals who try to create a utopian society but wind up with a dictatorship. /1

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Is profit really the best measure of business success?

I’ve spent 50 years studying profit as an accountant, economist, and political economist. And here’s the truth: almost no one understands what profit really is, least of all mainstream economists. In this video, I explain why.

Is it time to replace the bond market with something suited to the 21st century? One of the best uses for AI that I currently know is to ask it to summarise the arguments in an article or paper. This does not, I suggest, mean that reading the article is not necessary. However, it...

Up until his death, Ozzy Osbourne’s goal was to ascend a stage one last time and thrill his fans.

When the subject of retirement came up in a 2020 Rolling Stone interview, Osbourne huffed. “Retire from what?” he said. “It’s not a job...." 🖤

#HappyPride for the next 335 days, too.

Time for another history lesson! This important one covers the background of birthright citizenship, especially appropriate in light of yesterday’s absurd SCOTUS decision.

U.S. strike on Iran: It won’t be surgical, and it won’t be easy Donald Trump held another top-secret meeting with his so-called national security “team” in the Situation Room to discuss “the war between Israel and Iran,” a White House source told Axios today.

He's not just mulling over an attack on Iran’s nuclear facility with some big bombs dropped from high altitude stealth bombers. He’s getting ready to start a war.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

This is political intimidation.

YouTube video by Brad Lander for NYC Brad Lander: "I'll keep coming back to court, week after week"

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable.

ICE (basically): “If they’re brown…we’ll hunt them down!”
