Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

Seems accurate

Fed!

Unemployment is up, consumer prices are up, lawlessness by the federal government is up, sadism is up, folly is up, so is stupidity. And Donald Trump imagines he should be deciding Iran’s next leader and can simply demand “unconditional surrender.”

Tonight I broke fast with the NYPD Muslim Officers Society, and the family of late Detective Didarul Islam.
 
For many officers, Ramadan means breaking fast alone on patrol. Tonight, we came together for iftar, and to remember Detective Islam. His commitment to this city will never be forgotten.

Happy Holi, New York City!

Growing up, Holi was more than a celebration of spring – it was a chance to embrace joy & revel with family.

It's been a long winter & spring is much anticipated. I wish New York City's Hindu communities an extra colorful Holi – may the warmth come soon enough.

I get impatient too. I like to try! Normally i can.

Hey folks, any content designers or design systems people who contract, I’m trying to get a picture of the state of the market at the moment. Are you finding roles more or less prevalent than usual right now? And are rates lower, about the same, or higher than what you’re used to? DM me if easier

Hive mind! My partner has fairly extensive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and is meant to wear hearing aids but found the NHS ones very uncomfortable.

Black Linguistics nerd here! President Barack Obama’s eulogy for Rev Jesse Jackson is a code-switching masterclass. If you know what you’re listening for, you can hear President Obama toggling back-and-forth between so-called Standard English and AAVE, based on crowd engagement.

I love being Black‼️

Former President Barack Obama will always be the best orator of our time in my eyes.

He simultaneously cracks jokes while honoring Rev. Jesse Jackson in the most heartfelt way.

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

Former President Barack Obama on Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"He was talking about everyone who was left out, everyone who was forgotten, everyone who was unseen, everyone who was unheard, and in that sense, he was expressing the very essence of what our democracy should be."

Preach!
