"Some will say that a 47-year-old threat doesn’t sound so imminent and that I don’t know what the word even means, and don’t really understand how language works. To them I say: photosynthesis. Followed by: This is not the time for linguistic nitpicking."
Read @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social on the "intellectually insecure reactionaries" around Epstein. Much here that I did not know

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴
Screenshot of a tweet from x.com by Senator Dave McCormick that reads: Now would be a good time for Democrats to drop their opposition to DHS funding and pass the bill to support our homeland security. Continuing to play political games with our national security given the unfolding situation in the Middle East is dangerous.
Boy, does this make me think of Justice Jackson’s Youngstown concurrence, in which he warns of the danger of a president unilaterally initiating a war, and then using that war as a bootstrap to claim extraordinary powers at home.
Chris Murphy: "It won't be the billionaire children of Donald Trump and his buddies that die. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country that are gonna die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war."
"No peaceful demonstrator should ever be killed for standing up to their government. Unless, of course, they’re a suburban mom in an SUV that’s driving away from law enforcement."
Yes! Do I want Anthropic to fail (along with all of the other AI nonsense companies)? But not like this. No company should be put out of business like this.
You need to be a citizen to vote.
You do not need to “love your country”.
That isn’t a pre-requisite under democracy.
Americans should be deeply ashamed of what their country has become, and they should vote for change at the polls.
Anything else is dictatorship.
30 years.
This video should be on every network.

Are you proud of your Representative Nicole Malliotakis?
the democratic response to the SOTU should start with “is Donald Trump a pedophile?” and from there be entirely about the files
"Over the past 24 hours, two countries have demonstrated what it means for no one to be above the law – an increasingly stark contrast to what is happening in America under the rules invented by John Roberts," writes @thelisagraves.bsky.social for COURIER's Grave Injustice.
UK: Prince Andrew arrested.
South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.
Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.
USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.
4 corporations. $315B in profits. Just 4.9% in federal taxes. Tesla paid $0.
With Trump’s billionaire tax cuts Amazon, Alphabet, Meta & Tesla got $51B in cuts in ONE year.
At the original 35% rate, they’d owe ~$110B. Free public college costs ~$75B.
45M students drown in debt so 4 corps cash in 🇺🇸
Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.
Quite a return on investment, huh?

Here's a visual representation of how many times Trump's name appears in the Epstein files... so far.

Trump is very underwater on immigration.
There is no reason for Dems to cave on ICE funding.

Well, the powerful men are the real victims here. I mean, you’re told you can do anything because no one can stop you so you do the literal worst things you can think of, then later find out you might get punished or at the least experience public scorn? It’s really rough on them.
Hey NRA, are you good with this?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.
I don’t think this is new. It’s always been a conservative white male privilege to protect against libs and minorities.
Democrats should not vote to fund this lawless regime until there is accountability. The only thing we have is your vote. Don’t give it away on us.
Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.
The next could be you.
What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.
This is personal — to every one of us.
The NRA = KKK. They are there for conservative white people’s rights only. I’m white but left, so I don’t count—just like this man didn’t.
