Itโ€™s hard to hear about everyone. But thatโ€™s the challenge we have to take on if we donโ€™t want to be left with a scattered & biased perspective of the world.

If we want to see what on earth is going on, we have to tell *all* the stories. This is possible.

Telling many stories at once is statistics

Trump SLAMMED Over Ghislaine Maxwellโ€™s VIP PRISON PERKS
YouTube video by Katie Phang Trump SLAMMED Over Ghislaine Maxwellโ€™s VIP PRISON PERKS

When we talk about Jeffrey Epstein, we must keep Ghislaine Maxwellโ€™s name in the discourse because she's just as culpable as Epstein.

My latest on Maxwellโ€™s attempt to commute her sentence, the VIP treatment she's getting in prison, & why Todd Blanche is the worst lawyer.

Trump's Affordable Economy?

On the Eve of Destruction, 1/19/2025, I baselined things I commonly buy at my local Kroger in SE Michigan.
I check prices monthly. Here's November's tally for the worst increases. There are many smaller ones. Watch for shrinkflation! We're paying more for less every day.

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

Wait, what!?

Ghislaine Maxwell is being waited on โ€˜hand and footโ€™ in a โ€˜luxuryโ€™ prison: a top official said he was โ€˜sick of having to be Maxwellโ€™s bitch.โ€™

Trump made sure the woman who helped traffic girls for billionaires gets spa treatment in exchange for her silence.

The fact people, allegedly anti-Trump, are trying to dismiss, discredit or ignore a clear indication of blackmail between Epstein and Russia on a sitting President because the content may not be politically convenient for themselves is how the Epstein Network got so powerful in the first place.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal โ€” and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

"The reason why this is of concern, isโ€”he's the president of the United States, he's been found in another case by a civil jury to have been liable for sexually abusing a woman in a department store, he's a convicted felon, and he's had dozens of women accuse him of sexual abuse."

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis โ€“ by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.
