Robert Garcia says House Democrats are likely to release more Epstein-related documents later today and adds, "we want to know why Donald Trump spent the entire campaign saying he would release the files and now that he's in the White House, there's a massive coverup going on."

Hey, Fox Sports - I pay for YouTube tv to see the games, not to watch the demented fascist take over the broadcast.

I’m cancelling YouTube Tv tonight. I’m not funding this bullshit.

What the fuck, Fox. I don’t want to see your broadcasters sucking up to that cruel man. You should have asked him why he’s trying to claw back SNAP benefits from people that got them this month and suing to avoid paying them.

Ask him why he wants to make our children go hungry.

The same guy after Trump won:
-"even his opponents should make it their business to help him succeed" (11/6/24)
-"The public spoke with a clear voice" (12/14/24)
When Republicans win elections: The people have spoken, we must let them implement their agenda.

When Democrats win elections: This totalitarian FREAK must be prevented from implementing the policies he ran on

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.”

Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

I was born in Queens in the 1960s and even back then it was the most diverse place in the world, due to the beauty of immigration. New York has always been an amazing mix of people, languages, culture, and food.
Immigrants? In New York City???? sorry i've never read a book so this sounds scary and strange to me bsky.app/profile/park...

Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Before this year, could you ever have envisioned that the United States Navy would have a fleet of ships positioned in the Caribbean, & not respond immediately to aid Jamaica after the devastating hurricane ?

One of my best subs is ProPublica. They have been knocking it out of the park with their investigative journalism and pushing back against the fascism.
“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.”

We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

A person I interviewed for this story told me her 8th grader recently read Night by Elie Wiesel in school and observed “it’s sort of like what’s happening here right now” in case you’re wondering how things are going for Chicago’s kids.
On the occasion of Halloween, @newrepublic.com asked me to write about what’s going on in Chicago and I wanted you all to know what randomized terror feels like. And also that as the federal government fails our kids, everyday Chicagoans are showing the courage of trying to protect them.

Why go to college if not to learn to think critically and to gather knowledge that you carry in your own brain? If AI does your “research” and creates your outline and writes your paper, congratulations- you’ve used a bunch of energy to learn nothing.
I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

President Trump could have spent the past year making hundreds of millions from crypto. Instead, he selflessly let his sons make hundreds of millions from crypto, limiting his own income to bribes, media shakedowns, and a free plane. Will the press acknowledge this sacrifice?

Graham Platner seemed to think he wouldn’t need to address his past bigotry, but that’s not how a senate race works. A Nazi tattoo is bad. Full stop. If you’ve ever had one, we don’t need you. The Dem Party needs to stop being so desperate. There are better candidates out there.
Graham Platner’s campaign thought they could silence me by offering me money and calling me a liar in the press.

I was going to let it go.

It has become increasingly clear they are unfamiliar with Maine women.

We also know from studies over decades that combining vaccines leads to fully vaccinated kids. Getting a parent to bring a kid in for one visit can be a challenge. It takes time and a copay. Imagine having to bring your kid in for three times as many visits!
It's easy to think--at least he's telling families to vaccinate their kids. But the effect will be lower vaccination rates. Why?

Those who already avoid vaccines will see this as validating their extra caution. And some on the fence will now try to delay/spread out shots and end up skipping some.

It’s impossible to imagine the devastation that 40 inches of rain will bring. We are truly in a climate crisis.
Hurricane Melissa which is en route to decimate Haiti and Jamaica rapidly intensified to category 4 storm. Rapid intensification is a hallmark of climate change, but that category is only a measure of its wind speed. It is also expected to bring up to 40 inches of rain
