if you had told people back during the Kavanaugh hearings that disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was working the phones getting Ken Starr to lobby Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton to vote yes people would have said you need to get your head checked. But this is literally what was happening.

the epstein files reveal that at the highest levels of society, men with power over women often use that power to do the same things that men with power over women do at every other level. epstein was incredibly well-resourced and his friends and enablers famous and powerful. but it's the same stuff
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

The place we need to get people to, on both sides of the Atlantic, is immigration enforcement is not a priority. It should rank far below littering on our priorities as a society. We're talking about paperwork here.

But/and again, they literally can’t kill everyone and people are not afraid of them. Look at the crowds that are still out there. They know they’re on the right side, with one another. That’s an unmatched source of courage.

No pretense that this is anything other than attacking one of the United States.
This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.
He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

The NSF just released a "dear colleague" asking for ideas to inform its plans to restructure the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
This includes proposals to repurpose NCAR's Mesa Lab, an architectural icon below the Boulder Flatirons, for "private use."

it should not surprise anybody who follows my work that I wrote a bunch more songs last year. (Peter Balkan was written in 2024.) Here's one we're releasing early in honor of Bob Weir. Enjoy -- we're donating proceeds to the American Cancer Society. themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/track/going-...
