So if I understand the White House's position re: Epstein files it is that the files are all a Democrat hoax and also they provide a load of evidence that Democrats committed serious crimes.

Protests lead to change. The more people who protest, the more other people feel safe to also join protests. Once protests are made up of every kind of person, the police/military are much less likely to crack down on them. Which robs authoritarians of muscle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Fun fact about Nigeria: they recently shut down a lot of car battery recycling outfits to conduct tests.
Tests to study the large amount of lead being let off by these companies, poisoning the local populations.
These companies? US automakers that refuse to start certification programs.

A country that had begun to make progress in believing women is regressing. In this environment, it becomes more and more difficult for victims to come forward, which means that the people committing crimes against them are going to get away with it. Again.

1 million files of to hide behind
People have pointed out that AI is meaningless: people use the word to refer to such as
- the scripts controlling the behaviour of video game enemies
- the calculations used to clean data from a signal
- the machine that encourages people to kill themselves via generated CSAM
etc. It's too broad.

To Prez, this remains one of best community notes of all time. To prove we can’t be beaten this idiot tweets a picture of 5 of our warships, 4 of which had been sunk. The remaining is probably now out of action.

Imagine a future where parts of the sea are safe zones, with no destructive fishing, no harm, just space for marine life to rest, recover, and thrive 🌊💙

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

It’s Day 20 of the ICE occupation of the Twin Cities.
Today, as rumors continue to swirl about a major ICE surge in the Twin Cities, we are reminded of the power of community.
Keep your whistle with you, and be ready to step up at any time. We know that ICE flees at the first sign of resistance.
