Deleted Instagram and Threads accounts, and most of my Facebook data back to 2008 in anticipation of closing that too.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Yes, this friendly 2019 Jeffrey Epstein email exchange is about the owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft. But it's more important who it is WITH: Brad Karp, the chairman of Paul, Weiss. And Karp was still chairman when Paul, Weiss became the first law firm to cave to Trump's demands in 2025. 1/

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

People are asking a lot “how is this happening?” It’s happening the way abolitionists have warned you for decades it’s happening — you can’t dehumanize whole groups of people, pay for their brutalization & not expect for more bounty hunters to come.

If source coding can be manipulated, might that explain what happened in 2024?
Might that explain why all 7 swing states were decided by massive under voting on Dem ballots that vote all Dem and left presidency blank?
The reason Dems don’t talk TACO and Elmo cheating in 2024 is because we have

Did Fetterman have another stroke? Here he seems to be disagreeing with his GOP buddies. He is still a one term Senator.

John Fetterman calls for Minneapolis ICE operation to ‘immediately end,’ while Dave McCormick wants an investigation into the shooting
The senators' comments come after a federal agent shot and killed Alex Pretti, an intensive care nurse at a VA hospital, amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.

I have never understood how we treat government criminals. I mean how when a government employee gets caught breaking the law, we fire them and don't prosecute. It seems that for a group bent on wrecking government (GOP), this just encourages sending more criminals until one gets away with it.
ICE shouldn't be allowed to retreat to some safer zone. There is no appropriate place for them. Every ICE employee should be charged with crimes against humanity, same for every member of the Trump administration. Nothing else is good enough. "ICE out" means "out of existence."

When my students ask how we got here I say the laws are not self-executing. Our contract with our government only works when we elect people of good faith into office
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Why isn't this being investigated? Every DEM legislature is too busy trying to look bipartisan to the few center-right swing voters that voted for them.
Can we start talking about the fact that Trump and Musk stole the 2024 election?
Why was it not investigated thoroughly?
All seven swing states? Democrat votes all the way down ballot and Trump at the top?
Musk: “If we lose I’m fucked”
Trump: “We already have the votes”
I mean, really?
