A data hoarder set up a searchable archive of the Epstein docs released by the House Oversight Committee. Used OCR and a self-hosted AI to analyze and categorize them.

Actually useful bc the docs were released as disorganized jpeg files in a giant Google Drive

Data Hoarder Uses AI to Create Searchable Database of Epstein Files

The open source project has been mirrored as a torrent file and represents one of the easiest ways to navigate a messy data dump.

If you’re calling Newsom about trans and gay bills you should also call about SB 79 bc passing that is going to help literally everyone

Hi, I'm a trans Californian who reported on the CA bills. This headline is misleading at best. You haven't noted that he has until the 12th to sign the other bills, leaving that out is irresponsible and fearmongers.

People can and should still pressure him on those bills.

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!

A small victory. Watch the whole video. This is what happens every time when ICE is outnumbered by angry community citizens. They run off. Tail between their legs. Cowards! They will lose this war, if we are all united and protect each other. We just need to show up in numbers!

Yall think anime and other cartoons aren’t political bc you’re not functionally literate.

You think a show about an Air Bender and his friends who were victims of a genocide was written for the sole purpose of entertaining you and not to make you think

Reminder that Miller once asked an admiral “When a boat full of migrants is in int’l waters, they aren’t protected by the U.S. Constitution, right?” When admiral said that’s technically true, but int’l law still applied, Miller replied: “why can’t we use a Predator drone to obliterate that boat?”

So while Stephen Miller runs the ethnic cleansing campaign and commits murder in the Caribbean and Pete Hegseth gets ready to do his own little Nuremberg rally for the generals, Trump's aides are gaslighting him with AI slop and old footage?

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible."

We don’t want to hear about the Bermuda Triangle. We don’t want to read the classified documents about Amelia Earhart. We don’t give a damn about who stopped the UN escalator. We know acetaminophen doesn’t cause autism. We also know that Tmurp needs to #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

At the risk of seeming gauche by quoting Andor, remember “The imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks. It leaks. Authority is brittle.”

David Forbes @davidforbes.bsky.social · Mar 23

One reason the fascists are using terror tactics, bellowing draconian threats and demanding compliance so loudly is because they have real weaknesses around numbers and capacity. Their grip is weaker than it looks and the resistance they're already getting scares them.

Tbh I’m surprised one of those big famous hackers haven’t released the Epstein files yet. Not one whistleblower releasing them. It makes me think that they already deleted them.

Williams was a photographer for Jet magazine. He took the photo himself. The OG selfie. Iconic.

Orangeburg, South Carolina, 1956

Young Black man in a patterned shirt leans over a metal water fountain labeled “WHITE ONLY,” drinking directly from it. His gaze meets the camera, capturing a bold act of defiance against segregation during the Jim Crow era.

Trump's tariffs are taxes on Americans.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
