Beth's book is revelatory, surprising, and incredibly helpful in thinking about what we do to farmed animals.

A powerful essay by @ninaburleigh.bsky.social : "Rank misogyny & casual social & legal collusion in the abuse of young adult women are the root of the Epstein saga....The insistence that female humans of any age be pliant dolls connects Epstein & his johns. www.americanfreakshow.news/p/women-or-c...

What are they going to do about milkweed? How frightening plant based milks must be to forbid their use of the word "milk."

Mark Hawthorne @markhawthorne.bsky.social · 2d

Give it a rest, dairy industry. There is no butter in peanut butter, no horses in horseradish, no egg in eggplant, and neither pine nor apple in pineapples. Likewise, consumers understand there is no cow's milk in plant-based milks.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

This is part of the sexual politics of meat, so many ads for mammalian milk show cows happy to share their nursing product; smiling, skinny, thinking only of the consumer. Most ads omit, of course, their children for whom the milk was meant.

Marina Bolotnikova @mbolotnikova.bsky.social · 2d

& if I could broadcast one message to the world it would be that there is absolutely no good reason to mass produce another mammal for its breast milk. It will never not be an unmitigated atrocity. And I can't believe how poorly understood it still is among those who should know better

VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?

LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.

It's all there.

He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.

Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.
