I just want to celebrate @hiksmash.blacksky.app again for helping set the entire tone for the city's attitude toward the Cuomo campaign over six months ago. The hero we needed and deserved.
Can check off heckling Cuomo from my bucket list.

Savannah saving her vote, along with Rizo saving his idol and having no votes against him. A big win for the both of them. #Survivor #Survivor49

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Pedo Situation Room
My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)

According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

don't know what else to say but that we truly hate children in this country. Our ruling class is littered with pedophiles, we spent two years genociding and starving the kids in Gaza, we've done nothing to stop children here from being shredded by assault rifles in classrooms.

—Funding for non-highway projects flatlined

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
