The Epstein files bill passed 2 weeks ago, and the silence already started. This is exactly how they bury scandals pass the bill, wait for public outrage to fade, then slow-roll the release into redacted nothingness. Keep the pressure on.

Release every page.

If you think about it, the ICE raids are just an extension of the European genocide of the Native Peoples.

Hot take: now that Chicago officially has the worst traffic in the country I am starting to think that everyone who can should switch as many trips as they can to bikes, transit and even carpooling to reduce and avoid said traffic as well as improve sustainability, mobility, and health. Sue me.

We don't need more cars in urban areas. We need more public transport and bike lanes. #r4today

Listen, those bells are attached to the horse's harness so it goes without saying they jingle all the way. If they stop halfway through a trip something has gone horribly horribly wrong

I would argue that Trump is the greatest threat to our economy, security, and ways of life. It's not immigrants, Muslims, people of color, women, trans people, or LGB people... It's Trump and those who share his warped and detached from reality point of view.

I cannot take any industry seriously if part of its case for its use is claiming that "little by little, people... are using these tools, but it's still not fully acceptable for them to say so."

Ditto anything claiming that its use will allow "a reduction in [book] prices of around 25%"

I know! It’s like Make A Wish, except instead of it being for an adorable toddler dying of cancer, it’s for a clownishly obscene, evil dictator with absolutely no self awareness.
I can’t even imagine what the FIFA folks were thinking when they cooked this up.
