Steven and Alice smiling and holding each other’s books

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Trump suddenly declares military operation as Epstein scandal reignites www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

So is anyone ever going to ask these people what is wrong with being Palestinian? bsky.app/profile/atru...

So weird how all these things - superduper pardon power, total immunity, no birthright citizenship - didn’t seem to exist in the Constitution until the One True Leader Trump was elected; suddenly they find all these things that’d never apply to a Democrat President

Someone, make this make sense.

Trump wants to attack Venezuela because the cartel must be stopped, yet he pardons drug traffickers here at home.

Something stinks here.

NYT: “Epstein emails a distraction from the Republican shutdown victory”

WSJ: “We estimate the Epstein files to be 67% Trump by weight”

We created a searchable database with all 20,000 files from Epstein’s Estate Easily find every mention of Trump, Clinton, blackmail, and potential sex crimes in the thousands of private messages between Epstein and his close associates.

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.

Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

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 — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe.

Share it widely.

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.

Display about Black soldiers in World War II removed from US military cemetery | CNN Politics Decades ago, as some of the bloodiest fighting in World War II ramped up in Europe, 19-year-old 1st Lt. Jeffersons Wiggins, along with hundreds of other Black soldiers in, were tasked with burying the...

This is the same administration that has ordered the return of a Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery--one which celebrates the "loyal slave" narrative as represented by the images of the "faithful mammy" and a body servant (slave) in Confederate uniform. 🗃️

Jim Ryan letter

Jim Ryan wrote a letter to UVA detailing his "resignation" and I'm gonna get some fresh tea before I read it because I feel pretty certain I'm gonna be filled with righteous anger by the end

Kash Patel, the FBI's agent of chaos The biggest little scandal in Washington right now is how bad Patel is at being FBI director.

It's hard to overstate what a disaster Kash Patel is. See the many disturbing details here, from @vermontgmg.bsky.social, an expert on the FBI. "The longer this chaos continues," he writes, "the more likely we’re going to face a catastrophic intelligence failure." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

$220 million for a fascist ad campaign is bad enough. But it's all to line the pockets of Noem's friends and their families. The details in here are nuts.

What the closure of Teen Vogue means for journalism. Condé Nast folded a beloved magazine that treated youth and feminism as political topics, not trends.

Teen Vogue did some terrific work. Great story here on Teen Vogue and how the Vogue/Conde Nast bosses seem like the "liberal" types who have been eager to use Trump's rise as a pretext to silence progressives/leftists they disagree with. www.cjr.org/feature/the-...

I want to thank a generation for bringing the expression “cringe” into the mainstream

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

A little bit of history worth knowing. If it’s history, they are trying to wipe it out, to make room for the absurd tales of eternal innocence that bring fascism and bloodshed closer.

Our foreign policy, if that is still the right concept, has three pillars: alienate allies, encourage enemies, and take bribes.

Civil society has to hold together and pull forward until the Democratic Party changes. It makes no sense to wait for the Democrats as a party. What makes sense is shifting the ground underneath them.

Black and white photograph of six-year-old Ruby Bridges, wearing a dark dress and white cardigan and carrying a School bag, accompanied by three FBI agents in dark suits.

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃

Creating the US SA was always and obviously the idea.

The Epstein Files… otherwise known as the Trump Pardon List

This is why we need fighters in the Dems real bad. GOP + Tr*mp are going to claim they didn't lose in a landslide when voters in the midterms obliterate them. We need Dems who will meet the moment and fight to defend election results. Surrender Dems will cost us more than the ACA.
