@sarahkendzior.bsky.social had the goods on Trump, Epstein, and others years ago. Read her book "They Knew." It will curl your hair when you read the details.
Relistening to this and FFS, Sarah and Mark just perfectly lay this out.

If anyone in the press wants the full skinny on Trump, Epstein, Russia, and the elite capture of the US, book Sarah Kendzior to your show.

Wouldn’t be surprised if new Lincoln WC had some hidden cameras installed during remodel-would venture to say it’s part of his motivation. That’s a go-to Trump move re: Mar a Lago & TT. Those ‘free’ condos he gave Miss Universe & Apprentice contestants came with a cost. Pervert.
Nobody asked you to renovate a bathroom you dumb bitch. P.S, Trump likes marble because it’s easy to snort Adderall & coke off of especially in humid climates like DC & Palm Beach. Can cut a line right on it.

Another fantastic essay by @noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social. Noel gets to the heart of what makes Trump such a danger. Wonderfully written; searingly insightful.

In a nutshell: pay attention to the aesthetics; they tell us much about Trump's deformed character.

Good grief, the Edmonton school board has gone full bonkers, removing books from shelves. The perfect irony is in removing Brave New World, 1984, and The Handmaid's Tale.

This clip needs to be spread far and wide. Of all the insane things he has said and done in the past few days, this is perhaps the most chilling. Right out of Orwell's 1984.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Have you seen this clip of RFK Jr.?

Truly, the Orwellian death of expertise.

You can't get much more honest about the potential (and increasingly likely) dangers ahead than this short clip from one of the world's leading experts. We all should be following her and her colleagues.
What if there's a bird flu pandemic, given the sorry state of affairs in US vaccine policy and public health infrastructure?

Everyone should absolutely watch the clips of today's Cabinet meeting posted by @atrupar.com

Truly surreal. Utterly dystopian. The sycophancy! The ignorance. Total buffoonery.

Anne Applebaum has it exactly right: Trump has no cards.

Zero cards. Zero interest in ending the war (beyond seeing himself get a Nobel).

Putin owns him.

My new @science.org editorial on the role of scientists in defending democracy is out today. As authoritarianism takes hold in the US, we must fight for the democratic principles that enable a free society and scientists have a key role. I hope you'll join us.

Such a timeless classic ... and so relevant today.
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Again, as an arts educator, I can't stress enough what a incredible posting this is from @noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social One of his best. He gets to the heart of the power of the arts and how Trump represents a threat to the arts.

This one of Noel's best ever postings. An amazing piece about the power of the arts ... and how Trump can (will likely?) destroy much of what The Kennedy Center offers. Trump's ignorant attacks on the arts are as dangerous as his attacks on science and education.
