clearly epstein was not bothered by people knowing he was a hideously evil abuser, but he seems like he was very invested in seeming smart. so i am taking great joy in everyone roasting him for being an illiterate dumbass with asinine opinions

some hippies back in the hippie days wanted to put LSD in the water supply to bring about world peace

after this week's hideous news i think instead we should try estrogen

you could focus in on the highest-income zip codes for best results

all these nightmare men. they are all in this together. and the goal is to hurt women and children.
Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

i do not care about "the future of the democratic party" as discussed by professional-class bozos who cannot see beyond their next client. i care about not living under a military occupation that is disappearing my neighbors

This reminds me: A few CBP agents were recently overheard complaining about how much they *hate* the whistles. Apparently, in addition to the obvious, the racket makes it harder for them to communicate with each other.
Listening to CPD radio traffic from something last month and can hear the whistles in the background.

no words strong enough to express the helpless rage that this is happening in our state and we can't stop it
Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

I hope the centrists learned a hard lesson last night. No more reaching across the aisle to people who have been spitting in our faces for decades. Run young people, run socialists, run on actionable ideas that seek to make our lives better.

god i hope it hurts them. i hope they feel the yawning abyss of despair and it never leaves them alone for the rest of their lives
Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

i know there is a lot going on tonight, but you really need to look at this owl
Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable
