Disgusting.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

We need to get rid of everyone in them.

We need less pure politicians and more leaders
to be clear, i also do not think it is necessarily true that adopting a laundry list of progressive positions is an instant win either. i think you have to do the work of discovering what it is that voters want in a direct and engaged way. and i think that voters want moral leadership.
it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

This is much needed in the US.

Tired of actual fans being priced out of tickets by resell bots
Exclusive:

UK ministers plan to ban the resale of tickets for live events above their original cost, in an aggressive crackdown on touts and resellers who sharply increase the price of admission to concerts and sports events.

if you have a few spare coins, a local family could really use your help
My neighbors just up the street from us own A-squared pizza in Charlottesville, and their youngest was recently diagnosed with leukemia.

Their family is really nice, and this is a huge bummer right before the holidays. A GoFundMe has been set up for the family to help with everything.

This!

We cannot shame truth, but we must shame bullshit synthesis and lies
Seeing this exchange and we have just lost the plot. The greatest damage the trump era politics has brought to American political discourse is normalizing having a narrative over what is factual reality, and then not feeling any sort of shame about making up stuff because that stuff is convenient.

This is, indeed, cool -- I made a donation to Courier as a thanks, and I suggest y'all do the same: secure.actblue.com/donate/couri...
This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.

Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

Long week.

I think its the type of weekend where I lock up all devices, curl into a cozy couch with my partner, and enjoy a book
Between the Epstein shit and the NYT glamorization of Olivia Nuzzi -- idealizing her as a female journalist -- this week is just... I can't

Pandora's box for MAGA has opened, they will split and fight amongst themselves.

Its finally our time to shine and Zohran is just the start

Enraged and heartbroken by the fascist ICE tactics in our area. They're using tear gas in neighborhoods, and our neighbors in Forest Grove have had to declare states of emergency due to the raids.

But #Portland doesn't back down. We show up. We protect our community.

this is my city.
Veterans have lined up outside the ICE detention center in Portland, standing in solidarity and calling for accountability and lawful conduct by federal officers.

Their message: Those who once defended the Constitution are now standing to ensure it's upheld at home.

Agreed, investigate every. single. one.
I think we need to have an investigation into Peter Thiel. We need to know more about Thiel's interactions with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

It's difficult to imagine Thiel is not on the Epstein list.

The elites have sacrificed everything of human value in the US in the name of "capitalism" to accelerate power law outcomes for the top 1%

To them, it's a feature.

We must fight back before it is too late.

It's so sad to see Oregonians miss the forest for the trees about Zohran's win.

This is so much bigger than just NYC; it's the start of a paradigm shift in the US to destroy fascism
