Live your life so you’re not the only living president and vice president not to be invited to a former vice president’s funeral

Jorie Graham · Poem: ‘Demonstration’

everything

you’ve read about
for all these years
began. Right then. As if it were planned. As if we were
expected. It has not ceased since.

If you can hear me there,
if this reaches you,
forgive us,
we did not know who we were.

Great read from Dan Rather:
"...The very existence of a free press is a threat to this president’s modus operandi, which is to govern by lying. Why would he want people around him who ask for facts and truthful answers?..."

Slotkin: I’m not going to be dissuaded from standing up for the Constitution just because he threatens us. I’m not going to let him intimidate us out of speaking our minds.

Statement from Rep. Crockett on Threat at D.C. Office

Oh my.

James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists.

Get this man in the Senate.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Congratulations, sincerely, on your achievement, Dr. Turner. This is a big deal, you earned it, you have treme dous grit and intelligence. These men are utter garbage.

Hold up

It was the best of times...............

Ken Starr, immediately after being fired for his role in the coverup of sexual abuse at Baylor: I should reach out to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein

this happened! this is a thing that happened!

At the same time, much of the media, the fourth estate, the people whose role in democracy is holding power accountable by informing the public, decided that an old president’s oldness was a bigger scandal than another old president’s connections to and likely participation in child sex trafficking.

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

It’s funny that Harvard has been a consistent target for reactionary campaigns, and not one has been dedicated to ousting Larry Summers, an openly political figure who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein; meanwhile, it’s a fine-toothed comb for *checks notes* Black women.

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

Here come the “raping teenage girls isn’t actually that bad” arguments from the right.

seeing how many people show up in jeffery epstein's emails makes me happy i never reply to anyone's email

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

Absolute genius and gem of a human.

The Department of War's seal hangs on a wall. The kerning appears to be off.

we need a department of kerning

huh, that's interesting. once you see the comparison, it becomes very obvious why one is better. would not have noticed it before

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Did Underage Girls Ruin Politics?

Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

Not pro-life.
