I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

It is well past time for blue state governors to shut down tax payments from their citizens to the federal government

Darin Stephens @sharksstats.bsky.social · 2d

Blue states should also stop funding the federal government

Let's work on getting the House and Senate to a veto proof, Democratic majority that will strike down the Patriot Act, pass legislation negating Citizens United, and prosecute the cabinet and executive branches. Budget what the people want funded instead of an endless GOP grift.

honestly my favorite viral tweet from old twitter, it perfectly encapsulates an all too common attitude among activists and elected officials

A lot of people are mad at Bluesky, which I support, for the various reasons and subjects, but they are taking the incorrect lesson, which is that they should leave the site for one where they are not mad at it. I believe that all great website culture comes from war between the posters & the mods.

I think it’s these two combined. Any game will be profitable at $60 if it sells like Cyberpunk. But with a new 100 hour game every week it’s simply impossible that every game will sell that well. So studios can’t count on pricing low and making it up on volume, but nobody wants to pay more for games

Cozying up to fascists never ends well. If anyone should know that, it should be the ADL.

Wall Street Journal headline: Elon Musk's Gesture Wasn't a Fascist Salute, Says Head of ADL

ADL V
ADL. @ADL
This is a delicate moment. It's a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.
It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of
enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.
In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let's hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.

ADL faces backlash for defending Elon Musk's raised-arm gesture
After previously feuding with Musk, the pro-Israel group rushes to defend his gesture, which critics compared with a Nazi salute.

The ADL hates Christians, therefore it is is a hate group

"I am concerned that artificial intelligence will lead to people losing their ability to think critically," I say in a culture where 99% of people have no ability to think critically with or without AI

Christians say 'God is delaying the Rapture' until Epstein Files are released
After the rapture failed to happen on Tuesday, many Christians are blaming it on the fact Donald Trump hasn't released a trove of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein

It turns out if you fail to learn history you’re doomed to repeat it, unless your goal is to repeat history

they basically failed at facism when the plan was right in front of them

Focus, calm, breathwork, hugs, IRL time with ppl. And we must mobilize: attend a school board mtg, donate to your favorite substack, call your local/state/reps abt NPR defunded, abt Kimmel, abt Mahmoud Khalil being told to deport to Algeria/Syria, abt Mario Guevara in detention for filming ICE.

Don’t let trump get away with anti-American persecution of Jimmy Kimmel. Go find a candidate that will stand up against this authoritarianism
and help them out. While there’s still time.

It’s like when you’re watching a shitty horror movie and they reveal the monster 30 minutes in. Before that you were dreading what the monster was but then you see all the shitty rubber and bad cgi and you’re like “oh that’s all you’ve got?”

A confident strong administration wouldn’t flail this much. Trumps approval is in the toilet and there’s no sign of recovery. They’ve deeply overplayed their hand and made themselves vulnerable

ellie lockhart (she/they) @eleanor.lockhart.contact · 19d

I feel way less doomed the past week than I did for the weeks before it, fwiw

for me, the onset of actual full on out in the open authoritarian action less than a year into the regime is a sign that they're nowhere near consolidated, and that we're dealing with deeply pathetic, weak people
