Trump praised him as a “friend,” a “great American,” and a “patriot.” The banking institution tied to the Mellon family (BNY Mellon) has faced lawsuits for financial ties to Epstein’s network.

I’m telling you. Around 10-12 years old. Puberty hits. Something fucks them up (bigotry, bigotry wrapped in evangelical nationalism, devaluing of emotional intelligence) and they never recover. Sociopaths. Good little soldiers of the god grifters.

Fix your hearts or die.

Trump/Epstein/the 1% are an organized criminal enterprise. Don’s the Don. Rather, he *thinks* he’s the don. Really he’s the brain dead Trojan Horse for the real evil and inhumanity of fascism to spill out. A god-grifting mob where it’s “just business.”

Fight on, my brothers and sisters, for peace and love. Fuck the Empire.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

'Homegrowns are next': Trump hopes to deport and jail U.S. citizens abroad Trump hopes to deport and imprison U.S. citizens abroad. Critics say the concept is unconstitutional and dangerous.

The word “critics” is doing some heavy lifting here.

“Critics” of blatant, by definition, unconstitutional crimes against humanity.

If only the old expression was true: that everyone *was* a critic.

Most chode in a sea of them.

They will double down on their scummery, the death rattle of their bigoted way of being, until every white rage bluster devolves into the tears of sociopaths making the Sign of the Cross.

A tweet of mine from 2022 that my friend Nikko just reminded me of: “When I reflect on the emotional weight of the last few years I suppose there is some small comfort in realizing the most despair I ever truly felt in life was getting repeatedly lost in the snow level of Goldeneye” 12:02 AM • May 1, 2022

Holds up

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Oh great. So instead of doing his job at DOL (a Senate-confirmed position), they're sending Sonderling to shut down a small independent agency that supports early literacy development, summer reading programs and more. But not before DOGE harvests whatever data they can get their hands on...

Normally we don't recommend clapping back when the overlord of the attention economy reposts something offensive...

...but in this case, we'd love for anyone who has ever worked a public sector job to tell Apartheid Clyde exactly what they think. 🖕

Another CBA ignored. We're about to see a wave of straight up union busting at other agencies like what happened with the TSA.

Unions, what actions are you prepared to take? (Hot tip: Fiery statements aren't cutting it.)

🚨🚨 This is not a drill, IT'S A 5-ALARM FIRE 🚨🚨

Schumer: "I supported what the House did to vote against this bill universally, but that didn't cause a shutdown. It's different in the Senate. I knew people were gonna disagree with me but I thought so strongly that the shutdown would be the greatest disaster we face ... "

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill.

They vote in the morning.
☎️: (202) 224-4451

It is clear that some of us understand the present danger & some don’t!

I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon… I’ve got no explanation nor agreement with Senate Dems being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny.

Meme of two astronauts floating in space with earth in the background. One says, "Wait, so it's only the agencies that can fire employees?" The other holds a gun to the first astronaut's head and replies, "Always has been"

Firing probationary employees "was a sham in order to avoid statutory requirements."

Thank you, Judge Alsup, for calling it what it is 👏👏

meme from @parkdisservice on IG

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

If we could defend the speech of Westboro Baptist Church, how can we now justify arresting students for speaking out?

#FreeMahmoudKhalil

A sad day for America—Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist, has been arrested by ICE, not for any crime, but for his political activism. The Trump administration claims he was involved in “pro-terrorist” activities, yet no formal charges have been filed.

There are better answers to everything than “let’s kill” but I think there is a difference between a revolution brought on by a ground-down populace and the state planning an execution

Pants on fire

For your consideration, the first nomination for an anthem against this vile buffoonery.

@aoc.bsky.social What must we do against such reckless hate?
