Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I guess I'm the wrong person to commentate on this because I'm a Harvard College alum, but then again I'm Black and from East L.A. and live just miles from the Maine border and I think it's important for everyone to understand that there are lots of working class heroes who don't have Nazi tattoos

Seriously, why are you insulting people's intelligence like this. There is very obviously a massive excluded middle between "bland Ivy League corporate automaton" and "still has large Nazi tattoo." There's nothing wrong with having found him appealing. He was! But it's over and this is silly

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

In a matter of hours, folks will start receiving notices about their skyrocketing 2026 marketplace health care premium costs.

I’m fighting to stop rates from soaring, but I need your help. Go to kaine.senate.gov to share your new rate and how it will impact you and your family.

Workers in creative industries are at risk: their work, their voice and their likeness could be stolen by generative AI.

80% of Americans want guardrails for AI. Workers need an AI future that respects their rights, and doesn’t put their careers at risk. https://cnb.cx/3JnBOY3

‪AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals
You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing.

There's no both sides to this, Republicans are actively voting against working class interests

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

I realize a building (the White House) isn’t the most important thing in the world, but it is a symbol & sign of how much the US has changed. Built by enslaved & free people (Black & White people are documented as workers). Site of important events. More than a structure.
