Absolutely fitting coda to the whole Epstein horror show is that the brave testimony of dozens of women could not be credited and we need the emails of men to deem it credible.

Don’t buy Starbucks. Don’t cross picket lines. Until the company gives its workers a fair contract.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

NM congresswoman Leger Fernández, represent!
I proposed an amendment to block Republicans from funneling millions of taxpayer dollars to Senators subpoenaed for January 6th. Watch how every Republican on the Rules Committee lacked the courage to intervene.

Grijalva: That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files. Justice cannot wait another day.

The chipper quality of his voice makes me think they’ve flipped Boebert or Mace on the discharge petition. (Release the files anyway.) And may a bolt of lightning strike him down for his hypocrisy on the value of the congressional oath. And love her squash-blossom necklace!

Hey, it’s magnetosphere appreciation week! Keeping solar particles up there in the Van Allen radiation belts instead of bombarding our DNA.
We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

Shit like this is why we can’t have nice things. Like functional health care.
Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

I really enjoyed the Scorsese documentary on Apple TV, and realized that I’ve seen very few of his movies. Planning to catch up on his work, but a bit at a time, and probably not all of it. Violent films are hard for me to watch.

There are many people who know the names in the Epstein files, and one or more of them need to leak them bigly.
"Maxwell has received custom meals personally delivered to her cell, after-hours time in a private exercise area, access to a service puppy, and private meetings with visitors arranged by the warden, complete with snacks. Visitors were allowed to bring computers..."
