A confirmation hearing has been set for next Wednesday for Steve Pearce, Trump's latest pick to head the Bureau of Land Management.

If you care about public lands, call your senators.

I wrote about Pearce's uniquely disqualifying past back in November at Sierra:

Now look, I get that I’m not a high powered Dem consultant, but is there a reason we can’t run on seizing the FUCKING SLUSH FUND Trump is setting up and sending every criminal in this administration, including but not limited to those in DHS/CBP/ICE to fucking jail? Is that not a thing we can do?

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that
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

As always, I’m happy to talk with folks about my experience leaving Substack! Yes it was hard and annoying and there was an adjustment period. Yes it was worth it for many many reasons!

Note that Andrew is not currently being investigated for crimes of sexual assault or abuse. “… the allegation is that he shared with Epstein confidential government information that he had access to because he was a UK trade envoy.”

Remember that Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the royal family lent Andrew millions of pounds to pay his settlement to Giuffre.

The whole damn family of inbred fuckups chipped in to protect him, with taxpayer money, from consequences.

As I mentioned in this episode, newly activated folks must learn from the site fights waged by abolitionist movements against jails, prisons, and detention centers, because the scale of the concentration camp buildout is massive, and the fight to stop it will be as well. truthout.org/audio/living...

Thank God for Virginia Giuffre. She deserves so much credit for her bravery and tenacity. She, along with other survivors who refused to be quiet, made this happen.
She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.
As the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis are ordered to release people they've kidnapped, they do it in the dead of night to make sure it's as cruel and brutal as possible. Fortunately, compassionate Patriots are there to meet them and make sure they're ok and driven to their homes.

The British arrested a Royal, and we can’t even investigate a reality TV show host.

Our system is so busted.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the brother of the UK’s King Charles, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. It comes after further details of his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein emerged, the BBC said.
