They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil
Whole bunch of stuff beginning to make a lot of sense.

I think it's the "saving up for braces" part of this story that adds a whole new level of ick. Like... that's a kid, man
The 17 year old who had sex for money with Trump’s first nominee for Attorney General was in and out of a homeless shelter, working at McDonalds. and trying to save up for braces. (Gift link).

NYT journalists: how dare you accuse me of belonging to an organization that systematically demeans women and victims of sexual trafficking

NYT today: this greedy kid wanted money for braces and so ended up becoming sexually trafficked. The real victim? Matt Gaetz

This is your regular reminder that most men who sexually abuse children do not meet the clinical definition of a pedophile.

They simply want to abuse their power and no one is more vulnerable to abuse than a child.

Fantastic NYT story on the mess that is Penn Station.

"With each attempt to restart work on the larger underground station, progress has been torpedoed by a political rivalry or a powerful billionaire or infighting among transit agencies with their own priorities."

The nation’s busiest transit hub stands as a symbol of a condition that afflicts so many attempts to get big things done in America: inertia.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

It’s very enervating to watch intelligent and educated people play dumb about this amidst the ascendance of a far-right reactionary movement driven by antisocial Silicon Valley psychos and Miami crypto scammers who all treat women as status symbols on the same level as NFTs and Labubus.
he’s a provider of access to money, connections and beautiful women and girls — everything that these people need to affirm their own status. being rich and powerful is a grift which requires other to bolster & buy in. That’s the service Epstein provided.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails

the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

Three victims of sexual trafficking by Epstein and Maxwell have died from suicide or drug overdoses:

Virginia Giuffre (2025)
Carolyn Andriano (2023)
Leigh Skye Patrick (2017)

Those are just the ones we know of and who came forward. One cannot help but wonder how many more did not survive.

At nearly 60, I'm 1000000% tired of men and their misogynistic bullshit. Look at all the violence (racism, sexual, and otherwise) white wealthy powerful men bring to earth. I won't even give them the time of day anymore. Trump is the capstone. Fuck them.

QUESTION: WHY DID @bsky.app SUSPEND SARAH KENDZIOR?

If this can happen to her without swift corrections or transparency, then it can happen to me, or you, or anyone else who stands up to power.

REINSTATE SARAH KENDZIOR AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT!

The ability to be "objective" or "neutral" about secret police disappearing kids would, in any rational system, be disqualifying. That the opposite is true is an indictment of journalism, and one reason that the mainstream media is distrusted.
Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

It’s important to demand accountability for Trump’s sexually predatory targeting young girls whether or not we think we’ll get it in the form we want.

If WE stop acting like raping and trafficking minors is a big deal, then we become complicit in normalizing it.
