I was extremely naive in my twenties and early thirties, took people very much at their word when it came to values, and absolutely destroyed my mental health (and my career) thinking I could publicly demand accountability and survive it whole.

(1/?)
the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

Die Epstein-Files haben aufgedeckt, dass sich Epstein 2011 mit Christopher "moot" Poole getroffen hat, dem Gründer von 4chan.
Am Folgetag entstand das Board /politically incorrect, das später den Nährboden für die Alt-Right bilden sollte.
Nun: war die Alt-Right eine Psy-Op? Nein. Ein kleiner Thread.
Even if coincidental, “4chan really went downhill after moot started hanging out with that Jeffrey Epstein guy” is such a brain-melting sentence.

I just tried imagining German politicians constantly begging their constituents for money and I failed. Totally different world.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Huge news! They actually released Liam Ramos and his father!

Please remember that ICE is abducting more people - including children - all the time. And they will no doubt keep trying to harass and destroy this family.

Defund and abolish ICE and support immigrants!

Knitters of Bluesky please buy this pattern. Non knitters of Bluesky, you buy it too, take a class & add knitting to your post apocalyptic skill set. All proceeds go to immigrant aid agencies who’ll distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.

Diese Stelle ist herausragend obszön, wie lässt sich sowas drucken
So loyal/integer ist Donald Trump gegenüber seiner Frau, dass er mindestens einem Playmate und einer Pornodarstellerin Geld zahlte, damit sie seine Seitensprünge verschweigen. Er betrog sie sogar während ihrer Schwangerschaft. Könnte man wissen, wenn man nicht nur die PR der Familie konsumierte. 🤷‍♂️

This Great Blue Heron has chosen to winter in Central Park. I see it regularly, standing stoically on the ice--but never fishing. Hoping it is going to make it until the ice thaws! 💙🩶❤️ #Herons #CentralPark #birding

Wenn ich ca. viermal im Jahr Lotto spiele, muss das Ankreuzen im Laden unbedingt sein, sonst gilt es nicht
Meine Verschwörungstheorie ist, dass Lotto spielen via App nicht das gleiche ist wie "offline". Aber ich kann's nicht beweisen!!!
