"In the solitude of a book, we find ourselves a little more willing to be vulnerable to having our mindset challenged." - Nick Raines

The main difference between people who want to ban books and me:

They would feel threatened by that quote.

I feel *energized* by it.

In 2022, Donald Trump sued me and others associated with the Clinton campaign for RICO. We did not cave. We fought. First, we won in a Florida trial court. Today, we won in the 11th Circuit.

To the law firms, media corps and billionaires who bow down: Learn a lesson. Have some dignity and fight.

I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

They were children defined by law. Not women . It was rape ,child trafficking ,and pedophilia. Children raped . Say it until you get disgusted saying it . If you don't then you're one of them .

It's so much bigger than Trump and maybe the one thing that the right wing podcast world has been helping society pay attention to.
The newly-released documents show communication between Jeffrey Epstein and numerous high profile individuals, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, former White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, and former White House senior counselor Steve Bannon.

Sick. Megyn Kelly wants to be the new Ghislaine?
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Trump team, get your story straight.

Before SCOTUS: "Tariffs aren't a tax because they don't raise any money to speak of."

Trump yesterday: "We are awash with tariff money & will soon give everyone $2k."

Trump today: "We couldn't possibly refund tariffs! It would bankrupt the country!"

Even after Tuesday, there’s a movement afoot in Ohio to encourage a last-minute primary against @amyactonoh.bsky.social — who is tied or ahead of Vivek in the polls and has the highest job approval rating in Ohio — under the whispered notion that a woman can’t win.

Tonight was a huge win for democracy & a major blow to Trump's authoritarian rule

Voters chose Dem govs in VA & NJ, kept a Dem majority on PA’s top court, rejected an anti-voting measure in ME, chose an anti-Trump NYC mayor & are set to back fair maps in CA. Pro-democracy sweep.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: A massive wave of texts is being sent from random numbers telling Democrats and Independents to vote “No” on the Supreme Court retention questions. These messages are fake and misleading, part of a coordinated disinformation push.

Hope has holes
in its pockets.
It leaves little
crumb trails
so that we,
when anxious,
can follow it.
Hope's secret:
it doesn't know
the destination—
it knows only
that all roads
begin with one
foot in front
of the other.
