He f'ing did it!! We may have just witnessed our generation's "have you no sense of decency" moment.

Oh, they've all figured it out. They're just doing their typical "token" gestures to make appear like they have a conscience and "maaaaaayyyyy" do the right thing. They won't. They never do.
he's so close to figuring it out!

Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: The fact that the very people who are meant to lead this country have completely retraumatized us… it’s—I mean—it’s like being raped by the Department of Justice.

We’d literally be lost without her. She deserves to be celebrated. Thank you, Gladys. 🥰
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

What a beautiful reminder of why the arts are so important. This performance is stunning and brings to life a voice from 400 years ago. Language and Art connect us to all who came before us. And the message reminds us that we are not alone. 🥲
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Trump has always been a "means to an end" for Republicans and their true masters, the Oligarchy. This is why it is so important NOT to tie this to a single person. Monstrous as Trump is, he may have been a blessing in disguise. His stupidity exposed the fascist plan far too early. Good!
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

We all knew this was their game plan. This isn't speculation anymore... so let's start preparing for the worst. 😡

SB women are not to be messed with. This is a diverse, passionate, and caring community with tremendous resources.
DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.

And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

This should serve as a huge reminder of the POWER the resistance has when talent and/or consumer spending are strategically and collectively withheld. ✊🏼

Republicans aren’t the only ones who can “starve the beast.” 😡
DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.

Noticed this little tease in the recent @bsky.app App update...

"More bug fixes and performance improvements. Next release is gonna be a banger tho :)"

Gotta admit, I'm cautiously excited 🥹

Where were you when your country needed you most? I'll be at my local NO KINGS rally on March 28th. Join us! ✊💙
Everything you’ve done so far (and everything you will be doing in the next weeks and months) is the stuff of history. And together we will write the history of how, for the second time in 250 years, We the People defied and overcame a tyrant.
No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

What we are witnessing is a CONSPIRACY by the Republican Party to protect a child rapist and a child sex trafficking network. This is the holy grail of corruption and they will protect it at ALL COSTS.

They will NEVER willingly release the legitimate files. NEVER! Don't be fooled by their claims 😡
Keep saying it.

Trump isn't just in the Epstein files, he is the Epstein files.

The DOJ is spending millions and millions and dollars to cover it up.

Though certainly to a lesser extent, Democrats are cementing their place in American history. Their utter cowardice and failure to mount even the most basic opposition to Republican fascism will be studied for centuries. 😡

One Ring to rule them all. We’re all Frodo now. If you have one, toss it into your nearest volcano. 🌋

Though it pains me to say, these Republicans would cement their place in history as having saved America from fascism. So, why don' they?

My guess... American kompromat runs very deep.
I've said this before and I'll say it again.
It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

Republicans will NEVER willingly release the Epstein files. They know it's the holy grail of political corruption and would result in their political extinction. Here's just a sample of what they're hiding. 👇 (the courage of this person is staggering)
Why is threads the only place talking about this #epsteinvictim? This individual has been telling this story since 2022 and no one has been listening.

Think of all the crazy things he's said over the last decade that people laughed at and dismissed only to watch it actually happen. Now read this 👇

Yes! Exactly! Republicans value protecting their ability to KILL you MORE than your right to simply continue living. 😡
DAN KOH: “$30 BILLION for 10,000 more ICE agents… that would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all medical debt. Trump is making it easier to kill people than keep people alive.”
