So, ya should've voted for Harris
And if ya didn't
Fuck you.
The Epstein cover-up is starting to crack, but Pam Bondi is still stonewalling. This is the biggest scandal in modern history, and it's being buried.
Congress: Do your job. Demand the full release NOW.

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Ah. Pobrecito
"Trump has created for himself a world in which he never hears a negative word about himself...he thinks himself answerable only to those who...think he can do no wrong...the rest of the country...doesn’t exist."
Great @mjtoma.bsky.social read of the moment:

The strangest part of the whole Super Bowl halftime kerfuffle is that it’s an awesome party *everyone* is invited to
MAGA put themselves alone on their sad little island
This doesn’t seem like great PR
The Fulton County search warrant & its implications for the 2026 & future elections is critically important news & not getting the coverage it merits. Read my most recent piece to get the download & understand why this is such a significant development. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Little Liam Ramos stood facing an ICE vehicle with his cartoon blue wooly hat. A state-sponsored terrorist ICE agent is holding him by his rucksack.
A reminder that Liam Ramos, the son of legal residents in Minnesota, is still being held in a Texas prison.
A five year old little boy - and America’s global reputation - now scarred for life.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
God help us all if this is true
This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.
Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.
I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.
Exactly. My family only watches Fox News, and think everything is hunky dory
@timmiller.bsky.social @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social @jvl.bsky.social — I asked Prof G for his take and he ignored it. One of you have a take?
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct.

@profgalloway.com Given Trump’s assaults on various fronts (dismantling DOJ independence, gutting renewable energy & funding for cancer research, messing with Fed independence), I’d love to hear your pessimist/baseline/optimist take on how long it might take to repair some of these harms
I can’t explain, but in my mind Elle Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen are the same person
How can we get rid of @schumer.senate.gov Schumer before he fucks up Dems chances in the midterms? This seems like a code red, no?
Why don’t people talk more about @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social’s role in all this? Schumer gets the heat, but she’s even more of a doormat
I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me
Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con.
