Zuckerburg is paying $8B to settle a lawsuit by Facebook shareholders for failing in his oversight duties in the Cambridge Analytica crime.

A reminder that $8B is only 3% of his net worth.

Another reminder that “If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”

Here's the deal, says USDOJ to states: we're going to send you lists of voters we think are ineligible, and you're going to take them off the rolls. That "would hand the federal govt a major role in election admin, a responsibility that belongs to the states under the U.S. Constitution." [Stateline]

All trigger warnings on this.

Not many people are talking about this FBI intake form.

The complainant claims Trump assaulted her when she was 13 and pregnant, and witnessed the murder of her newborn baby. This is absolutely horrifying.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Pure fanaticism, just objectively bad policy especially while building all these new data centers. But also an opportunity for Democrats to say loudly, over and over again, that Trump and Republicans are making everything more expensive. Higher electricity costs impact everything.

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.

So last night as I was wondering why Pam Bondi diverted almost 200 National Security attorneys who should be chasing hackers and spies to redact the Epstein files, I remembered that John Eisenberg, who heads it, is the guy who altered the Trump-Zelenskyy transcript.

The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

As we saw with the Abrego Garcia case, once their screwup becomes public, this administration doubles down and tries to destroy the life of their victim with a campaign of slander and brutality. Just watch how they're going to go after this woman and her family.

I wish a single journalist or leader would reach out to me

I have the scientific expertise, lived experience of a trans person, and am literally a science communicator for my career

I'm willing to explain this even though I know it will decrease my personal safety!! bsky.app/profile/jeym...
If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here

Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have been working on and off on this story, along with my colleague Rebecca Elliott, since January when I was at Hamm’s Inauguration Day party for Trump at the Hay Adams in DC. It was a crazy event celebrating the return of big oil to power in DC. Yes, Nigel Farage was there.

EV charger funding. Tax incentives to buy EVs. Permits for wind energy projects. All gone. But tax incentives to extract more oil and gas were expanded by Trump and GOP-controlled Congress.

As the Trump administration gutted USAID this year, officials, including Marco Rubio, said over and over that lifesaving operations would continue around the world and that nobody had died because of the cuts.
