May his memory really and truly be for the revolution. ❤️‍🔥

May it light our way forward from here.

The first Presidential candidate I wanted to win who didn’t

Wow.

Elana Meyers Taylor holding up the American flag after winning her first gold medal. she's overcome with joy

Meyers Taylor said her children's disabilities — both of her sons are deaf and Nico has Down syndrome — have created some "unique challenges" on the road. Nico experiences sensory overload at times and becomes overwhelmed, she said. The boys don't particularly sleep well on planes and then there's keeping up with their specialized treatments and medical equipment while on tour."

"I thought it would get much easier as they got older and it has not," Meyers Taylor, 41, said at the USOPC media summit in October. "Bigger children, bigger problems. Now that they're both walking, they're both up. They don't want to sit on planes, they don't want to stay still. They don't want to sit for meals or anything like that. So it is absolute chaos."

Elana Meyers Taylor.
Wins medals in 4 Olympics (bronze in 2010, silver in 2014/18/22)
In 2020 & 2022, she has kids. Both have special needs. She lives on the road with them, flying around the world for months at a time to compete in bobsled.
And THEN! At 41! She wins her first gold.
American hero.

According to Julie K. Brown, who did such invaluable reporting on Jeffrey Epstein for the Miami Herald, the Bard College Board of Trustees is conducting an emergency meeting tomorrow. I hope they do the right thing. x.com/jkbjournalis...

Okay, I am indulging myself and recreating one of the best things I've written. Here's what happens when you join the Federation economy:

ICE Melts in the Minneapolis Winter Now it’s time to abolish the agency and impeach Kristi Noem.

Getting ICE out of Minneapolis isn’t enough, says U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar:

“We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.”

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

The Fourth Chakratic Method A heart meditation to use anytime, all the time, but especially on this Venus Weekend.

I devised a tool for wresting Valentine’s Day from the Hallmark industrial complex. Hint: It’s a guided meditation for people who don’t like meditation. open.substack.com/pub/therubyr...

We need to emphasize here that the school refused to sue or do anything about this. It was only the action of faculty groups and unions that brought this to court.. and won.

The Golden Age of Trump.

Wexner was named as a co-conspirator.

Dodged a subpoena wrt a SA case at OSU.

Employed Epstein for a year after he was indicted for CSA.

One of the SAs that Epstein committed took place at a Wexner home.

Not shutting up until the Jewish pro ecosystem starts having the conversations that matter.

In other words, long enough that habeas petitions can be filed on their behalf in Minnesota before they're whisked off to an immigration detention facility somewhere in the Fifth Circuit (where, under that court's current law, they wouldn't be eligible for a bond hearing).

If you're currently a student at a college with a faculty member who showed up in the Epstein files, I'd like to talk to you about the campus response for an article. You can reach me at miles_klee@wired.com or millionbear.44 on Signal.

Ukrainian Olympian Is Disqualified Over Helmet With Images of War Dead

Government Loses Hard Drives It Was Supposed to Put ICE Detention Center Footage On A Kafkaesque saga in which the government has failed to produce critical video footage has reached new levels of absurdity.

Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them.

Pam Bondi loves dogs. Always had them, one after another. She got involved with dog shelters and dog rescue, and once pulled off to the side of a busy road and got out of her car to chase down a stray. Another dog she helped was a Saint Bernard named Master Tank. She adopted him from a shelter after he was lost during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, not long after her own Saint Bernard had died. The story has been told but bears repeating. Master Tank belonged to Steve and Dorreen Couture and their grandson, who was 4, recovering from the murder-suicide of his parents and losing his dog during the storm. Bondi said the dog was a “walking skeleton” and “dying from heartworms” when she adopted him. The Coutures eventually tracked down Master Tank, but instead of giving him back, Bondi hired a lawyer, who accused the Coutures of abusing the dog, which Bondi had renamed Noah. “She lied,” Dorreen told a Palm Beach Post columnist years later. “My little grandson begged her to take the dog home, and she refused. She thought she would just wear us down. That we were unstable people and would just quit.” The case was settled out of court, with Bondi securing visitation rights, but she never did visit. She got another dog.

This is some genuinely psycho shit...

This happened in this very country! During the 2020s!!

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

Ok HD-35

30 point overperformance!

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

If you still have a Ring camera, you may want to think about replacing it with something a little less Continental Panopticon.

i have sunday school teens who go to bard early college and they said all the high schoolers are circulating these emails and are AGHAST

Leon Botstein absolutely has to leave Bard College

The fact that Bad Bunny's halftime show made white bigots angry and feel excluded is A GOOD THING. It's one of the best things about it. It's not a problem to solve. It's a solution to pursue. Bigots *should* feel excluded. We should find *more* ways to celebrate the reality of USian diversity.

There is no way that we can host the World Cup or the Olympics.
