If Bill Clinton raped girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should rot in prison.
If Donald Trump raped girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should rot in prison.
That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless.
This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

Hey, I wonder if there's any economic news today. I'll check out the website of America's biggest news network--Fox! Phew. Nothing's up! Biggest news in US today is a very nice Christian woman was slapped for no reason after sticking a camera in a stranger's face & calling her a baby killer.

Couldn't agree more @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social! Hope to see you and your colleagues at a #teslatakedown action soon. We're hitting the broligarchs where it hurts: in the wallet.
Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

Not only did Pete Hegseth hire his younger brother but he also had his wife tag along to meetings while they were discussing sensitive information?
Pete Hegseth has gotta go.
Resign.

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record.
Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January.
But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil.
