We have Trump because we fought Bush instead of the white supremacist systems that created Bush, just like with Reagan before him and Nixon before *him.*

Want to prevent another Trump? Dismantle the systems that created him. They go back to the founding of this country.

Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year.

Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year.

Remember this as Disney turns to AI.

My search has not been exhaustive, but I haven’t seen posts or news items speculating about identity of the person referenced by Megyn Kelly in her infamous comments about Epstein not being a pedophile. I am pretty sure it’s a certain Epstein lawyer who wants to repeal age of consent laws. Is it?

One thing that's abundantly clear: passing the SAFE Research Act would permanently end the United States' ability to be competitive in any area of advanced technology. Just straight up suicidal policy-making.
This has gotten surprisingly little attention — it's not even on the front page of @science.org right now — but it's really hard to describe what the SAFE Research Act would do to US science and scientists without sounding insane

Andrew Jackson made reins out of human skin and committed genocide. Thomas Jefferson was also a child rapist. Jefferson, Washington, Madison, Monroe, and Jackson (among others) thought owning humans was cool. Richard Nixon and George W. Bush both have seven figures worth of deaths on their heads.

Both parties should support this. Using AI to generate a video of a candidate saying something he didn’t say should be illegal. Especially since many voters think it is real. I will condemn any candidate from either party who does this.

DOJ estimates Epstein trafficked at least 200 children.

And, experts estimate ~2600 minors were forced into a child marriage in the United States in 2025—a trend expected to continue in 2026.

Here’s how bad the situation is, and what we can do to stop it.

Gotta be honest, it absolutely sucks watching the same people who call me a groomer just for being trans say that Epstein did nothing wrong because his victims were teenagers.

(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal.

Today, the BBC bent the knee.

Yesterday, it came out that a NYT reporter had with emails from Jeffrey Epstein in 2015 that were highly damaging to Trump and were never disclosed to the public.

This is on top of WaPo, ABC, CBS all capitulating.

Something I haven’t seen discussed is that, most, if not all, of the girls and women Epstein, Maxwell, and many others had sex with, were FORCED to do it, mostly through direct threats (they threatened to harm Giuffre’s little brother). That’s a crime, even if they are not minors.
