I truly believe that every American has a duty to read and share this letter.

The discussion about this story has centered around the perpetrators for long enough. It's time we focus on the survivors instead.

Love and solidarity to these brave women. Let's get them their long-overdue justice!
24 survivors send this letter to Congress to demand the House and Senate release the Epstein files.

If anyone is feeling the giving spirit this season, we could use some help for one final act of kindness for my friend, my mentor, and one of the reasons I'm still breathing.

Anything helps.

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

There's also this charity, the Bail Project, that pays the bail of individuals who cannot afford their own freedom. This includes those in poverty and protesters exercising their first amendment rights.
Bail can be refunded to the payer, so that's a long way to stretch a $.

The Bail Project - Freedom should be free.
The Bail Project strives for a more perfect justice system, one that works for all people no matter their race or wealth. By providing free bail assistance to those in need, we restore the presumption...

Right, this event needs $1500 to happen. There are 600 participating bookstores & for most it’s their busiest sales day of the year, or is second only to Indie Bookstore Day / Small Business Saturday.

Editors/publishers, this is a no-brainer of an opportunity for your imprint. Romancelandia: pls RT
I'm gonna be real-real here: Bookstore Romance Day may not happen in 2026. By this time of year, I've usually secured at least a handful of sponsors & their backing helps pay for things like newsletter services & Canva & Zoom & internet, all of which are needed for planning & off-season events.

For some reason this hasn’t got much coverage, and the coverage it has got has been poor, but it’s a massive threat to a resource that is so special for so many of us.

The dems backed down and allowed my healthcare to be cut??

I do not enjoy saying "I told you so" but I've said it before and I will say it again:

The democrats will not save us and the courts will not hold. They will only buy time. Act accordingly, even if others refuse to.

“Why aren’t they banning trans men from sport”

They were before, and they are now, I’ve watched my mutual (@geekyjules.julessherred.com) go through this for months whilst people chat shit about shit they don’t know about
There are many misperceptions about taking testosterone — including among trans men — but the small amount Jules Sherred takes does not translate to bulging biceps. Those are the result of many hours of training, he said.

This camp is in El Paso. This is where today’s flight from Gary just landed. It was carrying detainees from ICE’s detention facility in Broadview.

All of DHS’s denials in this story about inhumane conditions and lack of access to attorneys are the same false claims they made about Broadview.

By the way, this has been the Democrats party for decades. They’ve skated by for years on this “at least we’re not republicans” bullshit, meanwhile enabling them at every turn.

This is just the time during which you can ill afford their feckless ways.
