The Trump administration is censoring information. If you come across something before it’s censored, save it, download it, print it. Thank you to everyone preserving and sharing records, the censored Epstein files, and to Canada for helping us access Inside CECOT. Don’t let censorship win.

I know you get France a lot of crap but if this happened that in France the entire public would be out fighting with the police, causing havoc burning half the country down in protest until something got done, why aren't you doing the same?
They lock their criminal politicians up

Just because everyone assumed this is what Bondi would do with the Epstein files isn’t a reason to not raise holy hell about it.

That’s the thing with huge piles of money: those who endeavor singularly to attain them rarely possess the capacity to enjoy either the money or even the simple beauty of a sunset or a poem.

this business model should be flatly illegal
taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome
ban it completely

It’s official: EA is going private.
The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

The political assassination of the Speaker of the Minnesota House was a terrible harbinger for our democracy. The profound silence from Republicans afterwards was worse.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.
