Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death
The rape and rot of graft and stealth and lies
We the people must redeem
The land the mines the plants the rivers
The mountains and the endless plain
All, all the stretch of these great green states

Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

HUGE development IN hearing for Comey selective prosecution motion, It turns out that the grand jury NEVER saw the operative indictment. Whole separate basis for dismissal. Standby for more.

So to get the two votes, rather than re-draft a no bill in the Comey case and present the new indictment to the grand jury, Halligan had the foreperson sign the new charges while a second grand juror WATCHED? Did Halligan just cuck justice?

I warned that private equity taking over Walgreens would be bad for workers.

This is the private equity playbook: they hollow out businesses, cheat their workers, and drive them into the ground.

The hourly employees will only be paid if they work on those holidays.

men arrived in a boat at a beach in northeast Mexico and installed signs that say the U.S. Department of Defense is restricting access to the land

The charges against Natalie Greene were announced by...Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba.

Genuinely shocking that this case was brought against a Republican Congressional staffer.

When cops found Greene, she had "TRUMP WHORE" and "[FEDERAL OFFICIAL 1] IS RACIST" scrawled on her stomach and back. Federal official 1 isn't named and the name is blacked out in the photo, but we can assume it's Rep. Van Drew since Greene claimed the attack was motivated by her job.

On July 23rd, 2025, Greene was found lying in a wooded NJ area with her hands and feet bound together w/ black zip ties after her co-conspirator had called 911. She had cuts and lacerations. But detectives confirmed they were actually done by a body modification specialist in PA who they interviewed

Been looking at some things in the Epstein emails and came across him saying this to some unknown person: "There may be a video of kasshohgi [sic]. If so game over." Later, he called it "a video of them making Saudi sausage." They surmised that a video would make MBS a pariah.

He’s all over the Epstein files. He is a sexual predator. He is a serial abuser. He is an adjudicated rapist. He should be rotting in prison for all of this.
