“Was it your brain?” should be the follow up question to every Trump statement.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

This is mostly consistent with my experience with students at an engineering (mostly) school. These kids aren’t racist by and large. They are often insensitive but it’s mostly unintentional and they learn. Kids are ok
Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

There is only one reason Trump directed Bondi to investigate specific names in the Epstein files.
It’s so the DOJ can stonewall growing calls for their full release.
Not long ago, the DOJ declared there was nothing to investigate.
You are witness to the most blatant coverup in American history.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Two things. 1) income tax rate a continuous exponential function that caps income at, idk, $10 million, 2) Random college admissions - lets see if Harvard really educates or if they just rubber stamp people organized and rich enough to get in to Harvard.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Ah yes, the gov't shakedown, a normal thing for this administration. Anyway, what's up this weekend?
Former UVA President Jim Ryan has just released a 12-page memo of his own account of his forced resignation last summer. Here’s just a bit in which Paul Manning, a member of the Board, was told by DOJ that unless Ryan departed they would “bleed UVA white.”

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

"Matt Gaetz raped a homeless teenager and yet remains a free man because he's friendly with the current administration, where the president is also embroiled with accusations of rape and sex trafficking" is what you meant to write, one would hope.

Texas A&M is no longer a "university". It's a Vacation Bible School with a football team and parking problems.
Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

It’s not over but when it is I will never, ever forget the “serious people” who buckled and compromised and abetted the torture and crime and murder for a fascist lottery ticket.
I think the core point is that trump had a honeymoon in which capital/media/political opposition all decided he was the one true voice of america. he did a lot of horrible things with that (including murdering 100s of thousands), but didn't consolidate power...

A bad thing is unfolding at NIH this week: It looks like the Trump administration is trying to replace key civil servant scientific leaders, the Institute Directors, with political hires. These directors control the NIH budget, tens of billions.

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
Anyway, for what its worth...

@nytimes.com caught red handed. Journalism is a sham. They were in the tank for Trump. Never give them a cent.
Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

yeah it's honestly so wild! to me that the new york times circa 2019 is writing articles about how the internet is making kids trans meanwhile their writers are emailing The World's Most Well Known Child Sex Trafficker like "heyyy buddy,,,, how's it goin friend!"
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.
