My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Mamdani's transition team is exactly what I would like feminism to be about; determined (and skilled) women who are willing to put in their best for the good of the public and who are given the opportunity to do so also by not being discriminated against for being women.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

the DRemnick &ZMamdani interview is to interesting to see for the kind of traps the former tries to set ("but you when to all private schools") and the skills the latter shows in avoiding them ("in the public school I went to in Uganda"). Go @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

✝️ Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says I'm against abortion but says I'm in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says that they’re against abortion but ‘I’m in agreement with the inhumane treatment of immigrants in the U.S.’ is not really pro life.”

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record.

As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.

The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

It just occurred to me that based on the social positions they have held and the historical incidents around them, there are significant parallels between eminent personalities of the Turkish and American societies. I'll keep a list of them for the fun of it:

A bombshell report from @mapthepower.bsky.social‬ has uncovered the names of those funding the super PACs attacking Zohran. The list includes companies like AirBnB, the owners of the New York Giants, and New York's richest man.

Their collective net worth? Over $369 billion dollars.
