You're telling me that the political movement that commits the most politically motivated murders is the one that:

1. Teaches guns are a sacred means of protecting the country from invaders and terrorists.

and

2. The left are terrorists hell bent on destroying the country.

The many many women & BIPOC who‘ve been endlessly repeating ourselves (& being erased) since the dawn of computing were not & are not prescient or ahead of their/our time…

Eugenics isn’t a bug—it’s a feature! We were & are excluded by design & intention…these predicted outcomes aren’t accidents!

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Remember when Justice Sotomayor warned about lethal misuse of the military if the Court invented presidential immunity? I remember Roberts implying she was being hysterical.

I think she may have got her mass shootings at places of worship mixed up. Robert Bowers was the one who shot up a synagogue. (In her defense, we have a lot of mass shootings.)

Most people I think immediately recall that Dylan Roof was given Burger King.

I recall that he sat with a group of Black church people , who prayed with and for him, before he murdered them.

He didn't just walk in and spray and pray. He sat with them, talked with them.

Then murdered them...

KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this?

PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information?

Note to self. Just cuz you’re still spry enough ride the big rollercoasters doesn’t mean your almost-50-year-old body won’t charge a toll.

President Trump deployed the National Guard to DC to create fear and grab power.

No matter what federal agents and troops must uphold the Constitution. Know your rights if you're stopped by the police or federal troops.

I made it 3.5 years into cat ownership before having to give my fur baby oral medication.

Hoo-boy did that not go well.

RFK lied to my face. He said he hadn’t fired any scientists.

RFK has fired over 3,000 scientists from HHS. It’s shameful. He must resign.

Rep. Massie dropped a bomb: Billionaire John Paulson, top GOP donor, bankroller of the Speaker, and Trump’s campaign, is in Epstein’s black book.

This is why they’re terrified of a full release.
The truth won’t just expose Epstein.
It will expose the powerful who enabled him.
