reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."
holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

As I often mention, the Republican platform is simple: they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it. Since they rhetorically frame that as a return to an idealized past (“great again”), the NYT naturally has to frame systematic child sexual abuse as “the good old days”.

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Today, Democrats have uncovered more damning Epstein + Maxwell correspondence on Trump.
“The dog that hasn’t barked is Trump. [Victim] spent hours at my house with him...” — Epstein to Ghislaine
Trump was clearly implicated in Epstein's crimes.
Denying it is delusion.

What a line from @nytimes.com coverage of #COP30:
With the US absent — and not there to get countries “to abandon their plans to phase out fossil fuels, the thinking goes, the talks could go rather smoothly this year.” 🤡

TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

In case you're finding it hard to keep up, this court hearing was related to the allegation Lehrmann stole French submarine secrets in the days before his dismissal back in 2019
It's not about his current rape charges in QLD, or his car theft charges in Tas, or his 'defamation' appeal or . . . .

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

Dear Military, if Trump orders you to attack NYC tonite please don’t, LOL. Not sure what an all caps ‘and so it begins’ means but fellow Americans are not the enemy. Trump is a threat to democracy & you won’t be proud of the BS he is pulling in the end, nor will history be kind.

Zohran Mamdani: If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.
