I encourage people posting to stay mindful of the fact that countless real little girls and young women were horribly victimized by the Epstein network—and there are also MANY other survivors reading what is written here.

This is Luke. He was hit by a car, crushing his back leg and fracturing his shoulder - both on his right side, making it very difficult to walk. He's in pain and needs urgent surgery to fix his broken bones, followed by rehab. You can help him below ❤️🩹

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

I said this months ago but I really need a BLUE STATE COMPACT IMMEDIATELY. Bring together all health depts, all education depts, etc... under one umbrella. Collectivize guidance, ensure that disabled students get what they need, etc... An emergency meeting of all Blue State Governors is overdue.

Some people don't feel as close to this as they ought to. Most of us are just a bad break or two away from winding up on the streets, and addiction & mental health crises can affect anyone. They're gutting services and rendering more of us disposable, and there's a carceral disposal system waiting.
