the fact that bullying (and specifically, bullying of the "you're a dumb weak nerd virgin" for young men) is no longer something that happens to you for a few weeks or months in school but is pervasive and potentially lifelong is *absolutely* a big part of what's driving fascist toxic masculinity

"Blanche said it was “amazing” that the justice department was facing accusations of a cover-up... after it dropped millions of files."

“We have nothing to hide... We never did.”

People with nothing to hide don't stall, overly redact, and then only release half the files.

Criminals do.

“Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!!... I have never been to Epstein Island... and until tonight’s false and defamatory, statement, have never been accused being there..."

So much delusion!

Never accused? 🤣

What’s in a name? - A LOT!

The man never gets why most people no longer want to associate themselves with anything that he puts his name on.

He’s been selling his name all his life. He’ll be an unhappy man for the rest of his life.

Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump After a one year review of The Trump Kennedy Center, that has taken place with Contractors, Musical Experts, Art Institutions, and other Advisors and Consultants, deciding between either Construction with Closure and Re-Opening or, Partial Construction while continuing Entertainment Operations through a much longer period of time, working in and around the Performances, I have determined that The Trump Kennedy Center, if temporarily closed for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding, can be, without question, the finest Performing Arts Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World. In other words, if we don’t close, the quality of Construction will not be nearly as good, and the time to completion, because of interruptions with Audiences from the many Events using the Facility, will be much longer. The temporary closure will produce a much faster and higher quality result! Based on these findings, and totally subject to Board approval, I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything that has taken place with respect to such a Facility before. Therefore, The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex. Financing is completed, and fully in place! This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment, far better than it has ever been before. America will be very proud of its new and beautiful Landmark

As more (but less than 1/2) of the Epstein Files have been released one key point has become crystal clear. Yes, we knew this, but now it’s undisputed: this is the biggest coverup in American history. It spans decades our government is still covering it up. We need transparency & accountability

I truly love the people of Minneapolis MN! “We walk the same ground. We’re torn apart. Put down your weapons. Come sing your part” inviting ICE to see all people as humans and to join them in non violence. It’s Whoville from Dr Seuss comes to life - kindness and compassion personified. MN Strong!

What another amazing Cape Breton African Heritage Month Gala! I was thrilled to attend with our full NDP caucus for a night full of celebration, new and old friends, inspiring speeches, and of course amazing music!
The Nova Scotia NDP caucus poses for a photo at a the Cape Breton African Heritage Month Gala, showcasing a mix of elegant outfits and patterned fabrics in a decorated banquet hall. Guests mingle and chat between tables at a gala, with warm lighting, floral centrepieces, and a lively, celebratory atmosphere. Three women smiling together at a formal banquet, dressed in elegant evening wear beneath soft lighting and draped fabric décor. Owen O’Sound Lee performs from centre stage, framed by dramatic blue and gold lighting with musical instruments behind them.

@ezralevin.bsky.social of @indivisible.org explains why it's pointless to call congresspeople if you aren't one of their constituents.

Take note, if you or your friends call from afar. 📞

@naheednenshi.bsky.social asked every Alberta MLA to sign a straightforward pledge declaring they are proud Albertans, proud Canadians, and that they oppose separatism.

Are UCP MLAs proud Albertans and proud Canadians? Or are they separatists? Their silence speaks volumes.
Graphic titled “Pledge to Our Constituents” over a faded Canadian and Alberta flag background. The text states that signatories affirm they are proud Albertans, proud Canadians, and oppose separatism. A summary shows party participation: Alberta’s New Democrats, 38 of 38 signed; United Conservatives, 0 of 47 signed; Independents, 0 of 2 signed.

I don’t usually have crying moments watching music awards, but Post Malone with Slash on guitar singing Ozzy’s War Pigs. My dad loved that song, because after Vietnam, he loved all antiwar songs. My nephew loved it because he loved Tommie Iommi, me, I mean fuck, it’s OZZY

Minnetoba”? 🤔
With Trump chaos flaring, some Minnesotans are openly talking about ditching the US and joining Canada as its 11th province. Even Jesse Ventura’s weighing in.

Can’t blame them…free healthcare, fewer coups, and way less Trump. 🇨🇦🍁

From Public Square in Cleveland to Columbus streets, thousands turned out Friday to defend Haitian families in Springfield from an anticipated ICE surge. With TPS ending Feb 3, protests in over 300 cities showed resistance can’t be ignored.

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.

Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

All eyes should be on Springfield, Ohio, where people are preparing for a "large deportation" promised by the president. To all appearances, they are 2 - 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate & racist campaign organized by the Vice President & American Nazis

A 5 yr-old asleep in his father's arms, on a flight home to Minneapolis. Relief does not erase what came before. Fear lingers. Family separation leaves psychological scars long after release. Children deserve safety. Parents deserve dignity. Family separation should never happen. #sheshed
