I feel that some of you need regular reminders of how unpopular this man is. And frankly I see him getting even more so as the economy worsens. Again, this doesn't mean that he will give up any power but it does mean that WE HAVE POWER TOO.

Prince Andrew has been stripped of all his royal titles.

Exerts from Virginia Guthrie’s memoir, detailing her abuse by Andrew, played a role in his downfall. Tragically, she committed suicide last April.

It’s on all of us to make sure the other Epstein survivors get justice before it’s too late.

This is true, but they don't need verified accounts to do that. I think what we should be bracing for is, much more simply, that they're going to single out people for harassment and potentially doxx them. All the weird non-bot burner accounts who followed you over the last year? Yeah

There seems to be a concerted, coordinated effort from the White House and various governmental agencies to join Bluesky en masse prior to the "No Kings" protest and flood the zone.

A reminder that the Trump admin is monitoring social media platforms to find excuses to revoke visas:

If you are going to a No Kings protest this weekend, be sure to review our Surveillance Self Defense guide for attending a protest and bring Rayhunter along for the ride! ssd.eff.org/module/atte.... eff.org/rayhunter.

🚨 About 10,000 U.S. troops and dozens of military aircraft and ships are in the Caribbean region as the Trump administration increases pressure on Venezuela.

Officials say privately the goal is to drive Venezuela’s President Maduro and his socialist government from power.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.
