If you're passing through South Station tonight or tomorrow, why not take a photo of its charm or people not being crimed up, so we can show why we don't need any dictator fan bois and former grade-B Real World actors taking it over?

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

The war on working people never ends.

They pay us poverty wages and limit our hours so they don’t have to provide health insurance.

Then they buy politicians who will take away the only insurance available to us so they can get more tax breaks.

The only way to fix this is to ORGANIZE.

Trump just posted a photo of himself holding up a piece of paper claiming to show tattoos on Kilmar Abrego Garcia that are related to MS-13. The paper he’s holding up has been digitally altered to add the characters MS-13.

The claim comes from neo-Nazis on X who say the tattoos cover up “MS-13.”

This is without comparison.

A man fighting for his democracy, whose citizens have been killed, kidnapped and raped by fascist invaders comes to the Oval Office and is attacked by the President and VP.

This is a gangster government.

Never been more disgusted in the US.

One thing you learn as your parents get older is that if you’re really lucky, they will live long enough to need a lot of help.

Yes, occasionally you get the fantasy of people living peacefully and unchanged until they’re 100 and then dying in their sleep, but it doesn’t usually go that way.
Like the saying goes:

"Disability is the Only minority anyone can join at any time, and the only one everyone *will* join if they're lucky enough to live that long"
If we are not disabled, we are temporarily able-bodied.
Disability protections protect all of us.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history.

The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists.

Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.

Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.

Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.

That.

Do that.

Having passed up the opportunity years ago to run DOJ’s Civil Division, I’ve never run a large organization, let alone at DOJ.

So I’m no expert.

But I’m gonna spitball that if hundreds of your subordinates want to tell you to “go fuck yourself,” you might, perhaps, have a management problem.
Just to underscore the tension at DOJ at the moment, here's what one federal law enforcement official told me about the acting deputy attorney general:

"I, along with other career FBI and DOJ personnel that I’ve spoken with, really have one message for him and that is, “go fuck yourself, traitor.'"
Trump’s feared DOJ enforcer has a secret: He, too, investigated Jan. 6
The acting DOJ official behind a potential witch hunt against prosecutors and FBI agents who investigated the Capitol riot worked on Jan. 6 cases himself.
