Kids tear-gassed at a bike ride protest in Oregon.
And before you predictably say “why do you bring a kid to a protest?” — why do you keep defending a brutal police state? What country do you want to live in?
Y’all have lost the thread. 🇺🇸

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

At BEST they knew what Epstein was and didn’t care. At worst they participated.
Yet even now speaker Johnson and the gop don’t care.

Listen, if you can.
This is sworn testimony.
A witness describes Trump threatening a 13-year-old girl with deportation to silence her. A 13-year-old is a child.
We, the people must support survivors & truth tellers.
The evil perpetrators can’t go unpunished.
No mercy.

Thank goodness. Now do everyone else, esp the disappeared with no social media presence propelling their cases.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Professor Seth Lloyd knowingly allowed two donations from Epstein in 2012 to support his research without informing MIT leadership of Epstein’s criminal record. Lloyd also received a personal gift of $60,000 from Epstein that was not reported to MIT.

Jack Horner being in the Epstein files is not something I had on my bingo card for 2026.... Horner seemingly visited Epstein's ranch multiple times, including apparently with a student.

Hi [redacted] Since i don't really know how long it would take to get from Albuquerque to the ranch and visa versa [sic], and don't know how I'm to get there (would someone be picking me up or should I rent a car) it would probably be best if you just booked the flight for me.

The tangled web becomes even more tangled. Turns out frequent Epstein island guests were AI pioneers Marvin Minsky and Roger Shank. It's worse than that. Shank had closer ties to Epstein than just professional. He frequently defended this monster.

Ah, this means Epstein bagged two presidents of Harvard University, Larry Summers and Henry Rosovsky.
Ken Starr was included in the previous Epstein files dump. Here he's offering to help Jeffrey Epstein manage a friend's sexual harassment charges. A jolly little Sex Pest Mutual Aid group here.

Each Epstein email has so many layers of slime people miss some. This email is Ken Starr, fired for covering up sexual assault, offering to help his former client Jeffrey Epstein's friend's sexual harassment charges by introducing him to Jed Rubenfeld, later put on leave for sexual misconduct. 1/

I guess the best-available defense to this sort of thing—lots of friendly emails and visits with someone recently convicted of procuring a child for the purposes of prostitution, I mean—is something like “He seemed to have lots of money and connections and I would have liked a little piece of that”

dear jeff:
thanks for the kind words. i enjoyed meeting you; i had not known you were connected to john brockman, but i should have guessed!
as luck would have it, i am slated to be in NYC this coming thursday for a dinner and could meet before that, any time between 2 and 5, if that happened to work for you. otherwise, i could surely come back again within the coming weeks.
my lab has a number of foci at present: 1) the evolutionary biology and genetics of social networks and social interaction; 2) the experimental exploration, using online tools, of network structure and function in humans (how does network structure affect phenomena like cooperation, innovation, health, etc.); and 3) randomized controlled trials in the developing world of network 'targeting algorithms' aimed at enhancing spillover effects, so as to facilitate population-level behavior change by identifying and targeting influential people.
let me share three papers with you (one unpublished) that flesh out some of our work (specifically [1] and [2] above):
