An entire political movement founded on uncovering hidden messages in documents to discover the powerful secret pedophiles and meanwhile the powerful pedophiles out here sending gmails saying "Hi fellow pedophile when are we meeting to do pedophilia again"

So what I’m gathering is a pedophilic billionaire successfully worked to destigmatize race science among the academic, political, and business elite partly by sex trafficking girls. Is that the shape of it so far?

The people who are saying shit like "well it's either this or the borders are totally open" are doing their best to convince America that we should have completely open borders.

for over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them

In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who was 8 years old

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.” ― Octavia E. Butler, A Few Rules for Predicting the Future: An Essay

The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.

The Biden DOJ just sat on all this??

👀 Looks like the husband of the woman ICE abducted called his lawyer, lawyer called the cops, then the police chief went and got her & took her home Article says it may be the first time local Minnesota PD "intervened in a federal law enforcement action" since Trump started terrorizing the state

This is incredible???

"The world isn’t ending. A world is ending. Our job is to midwife the next one."

skaters will not have this problem should they choose to skate with the universally beloved music of the Mountain Goats

No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.

"In response to criticisms she's heard about the hat being 'performative,' Mashaal, the shop owner, said the thousands of dollars that have gone toward supporting their community speaks for itself."

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service. I want more people to make the connections.

GIVE HIM HIS HAT AND BACKPACK BACK YOU GHOULS

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

it's like SUPER cold for North Carolina today but I went to the farmer's market and on the way back I saw people 10+ years my senior, which is saying something, holding up NO ICE protest signs and I said hey fantastic job it's cold and they said "not as cold as in Minneapolis" blessed people

Oh wow, not the guy who deliberately tries to look like a Nazi.

You don't have to be too cool for school on this stuff. The documents are very bad.

it’s one thing to know “rich and influential men boost each other” + “and they type out the horrors they commit to one other” + “and they escape relatively unscathed, again and again” it’s another to have such banal details as “and m00t was there”

Al Jazeera reporting that Israel has killed 31 Palestinians in Gaza *today* Think about Alex Pretti being killed 30 more times in one day

Do people actually not know what a central role fashion has played in social movements??????

One effect of the gendered split in the US political imagination, in which liberals are feminized and conservatives are masculinized, is that liberals’ opposition to the right is cast as disavowed sexual desire. Liberals secretly want fascism, in this view, the same way women secretly want rape.

Maybe there are stronger electoral messages than “we’ll kidnap your kids”

Just googling the heads of every hedge fund and then searching for them in the Epstein files and almost always finding direct emails or messages where he says he met with them

I've been happy this week to see that some people have caught up to the fact that in MN and across the country, the resistance to fascism has actually BUILT ON what came before. The networks created in 2020 and earlier have been reactivated, expanded etc...

none of these people ever cared about little girls and they still don’t and if they did they would protect trans girls too

I'm not sure I have ever seen a more savage movie review headline than the Guardian's dismissal of Melania as a "trash remake of The Zone of Interest."

Also very Japanese American internment. So many family homes and farms seized for pennies on the dollar by white neighbors

Airports by definition are a place where people are crisscrossing time zones and have messed up body clocks, pretending like meal times should apply there is a crime against the human condition

I know too much about what we do to incarcerated children in the U.S. I started and ran an organization focused on this for almost 15 years. Immigrant children are being treated terribly.

That kid better get his hat and backpack returned too.

Some of you may be too young to have appreciated Bruce's 41 shots: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQMq... - if yes, you should listen to it. And you should know that the NYPD and NJ cops pitched a MAJOR FIT over it.

Moving and infuriating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cw3...

"The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived & incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children" "for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power & the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds" LORD

Why, yet thy scandal were not wip’d away

Here are some nice mushrooms

This is a country that cannot imagine the abolition of youth prisons and jails.

I really feel like Stephen Miller is due a lot more process than he’s getting. Just lots and lots of process, long overdue.

Here’s Artemis, admiring a picture of his namesake, Artemis— the goddess of the hunt, the moon and unmarried women. ✨🌙

Even the children who have not been kidnapped are victims of the gestapo youtu.be/0Cw36_u3_7k?...

Midge Update: serene

Can’t believe people are debating whether opsec is necessary the day after multiple journalists were arrested for covering a protest and a week after a man who it turns out had a previous run in with the gestapo was murdered by them in broad daylight

As winner of the FIFA Prize for Literature I demand $60 an hour

Just no longer engaging with people who can only imagine social progress through the lens of legislation. Y’all got it.

You can always check here to find some bail funds to support: www.communityjusticeexchange.org/en/nbfn-dire... - not all bail funds are part of the network but all who are part of the network are vetted.

You know, yes, this is media diet and Netflix and whatever. But part of college — part of study in general — is understanding that not everything is *entertaining* all the time. And part of that is deciding you care about learning things! (1/2)

Anyone got a cigarette and a manifesto?

My god this guy is such an evil turd. What a stomach-churning fucker.

Here are my new swords, from Thailand and Japan. 🥰😍⚔️

"I know some of you think you’re not qualified, or that you’re waiting for someone to tell you how to do this right. But let me tell you that the person who is going to do that is you. You’re on this call, you have five neighbors right now who are waiting for you to talk to them and get organized."

"It's believed to be the first time a local police department in Minnesota intervened in a federal law enforcement action since the surge in immigration enforcement began two months ago."

'slide into the DMs if you're MAGA and want to become a * checks notes * federal prosecutor' is simultaneously insane and extremely on brand for these people

I am used to people underestimating my intellectual capabilities and range and it would be nice to not be used to it

There's an email from someone asking him to see the "torture video" - they redacted that person's email address.

Guys I promise we do not need any more opinion pieces arguing that it’s okay to want to be thin

Striking means you accept that you may in fact not have a job to return to.

Chat, there is nothing to lose but y’all’s chains

As I’ve noted before, I got my titers checked last year and my mumps protection was zilch. My measles number was so high they said I must have had an exposure recently.

"But only the worker actually goes on strike. As such, the only people who should call for a strike are the workers who will be striking." open.substack.com/pub/tabithaa...

Never assume that the person who is letting the other person act like a fool is losing. Sometimes she’s waiting. And thinking. And remembering.

The conspiracies were not conspiracies. - the Epstein file.

Why. Can‘t. Y’all. Just. Let. People. Post. That. They. Enjoyed. Something.

shocked that the guy who runs the kiddie porn generator kept trying to get an invitation to the special island where pedophiles hunt middle-schoolers for sport

Nellie Bowles being in the Epstein docs seems not enormously surprising given…?

Hanging out with billionaire donors is always at best questionable but I do actually think it matters whether a physicist only appears in the Epstein files before 2007 or also after He, like other rich assholes, gave money to physicists, some of whom cut him off after they found out what he was

wow seems like colorless green ideas do their dreaming in a lot of pretty sketchy venues

On a day like today, “found a block of homemade chili in the freezer” qualifies as practically miraculous.

* bolding "Clearly written to be shared widely" * Here is a judge who knows he has a platform and is acting like it

one interesting thing about this is the French one is legit cool while the American ones are designed specifically to garner only ironic acceptance, but in both cases the camel’s face is a dick & balls

Some good news: I'm thrilled that I'll appear with Stephen Graham Jones at the Bay Area Book Festival and Locus Awards in May! Horror fans, come celebrate with us! locusmag.com/2026/01/tana...

Of course you shouldn't date someone who doesn't share your core values if you want to be in a long-term relationship with them.

Out, out, brief candle!

This is precisely it.

No matter how many times I visit, how many years I lived here in NYC, I find myself pressed up against the window, trying to take pictures that usually look bad. But I like this one.

I literally expected a lot of gross things in the Epstein files but this particular one is something else

Support your local child molester on February 7th

The world is pretty terrible so here is Gracie gamboling through the snow if you need a break. (This is all I could film before being dragged along!)

Too many heist movies set all the sneaking around to cool jazz music. I wanna see someone crack a safe while a Stone Temple Pilots song plays in the background.

honestly this is a relief to see in public; the US left has rarely if ever held accountable abusers and sex pests including post #metoo (which this would’ve been less than a year and a half after it kicked off). sexual violence comes up in all moral issues and still it’s treated as an inconvenience

This is absolutely fantastic. Bravissimo, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

the self styled nazi is antisemitic

All things taken into account, I’d be surprised to learn that Greg Bovino *isn’t* an anti-Semite.

jesus fucking christ

In the good news department, I'm hearing that Alberta's premier is conceding that Carney's desire for a bitumen pipeline that would endanger the Great Bear Rainforest is untenable and thus this dangerous initiative will wither away. Due in large part to pressure from coastal first nations.

The balls it takes to call selling knitting patterns for charity “performative” while an entire city is under siege by fascist stormtroopers purely to fill the right-wing media trough with slop

Gotta say I always was sort of whatever on Noam Chomsky where I assumed he didn’t have a strong communist belief system and that explained most of his foibles but I should have listened to the more militant communists who swore up and down he was controlled opposition

I was just in St. Peter last year and this is an *EXTREMELY TINY* town and it is nuts that they are there at all much less doing this It’s good the chief intervened but the gestapo needs to GTFO

"I'm very devastated, spiritually. Why did they kill the man? He didn't do anything," he said. "I was there. I was there. I saw everything."

They said dead men tell no tales but Epstein sure has been telling us some lurid tales

Shoutout to all the Seatgeek and Ticketmaster push ads offering me 20 bucks off if I book my Superbowl tickets now so I can get a steal and grab them for $8500 a pop instead of $8520

honestly a complete joy, this thread

Struggle is cumulative.

This is so profoundly true. If just one kinky polycule that had somehow managed to stay drama-free were put in charge we’d achieve world peace

Incredibly depressing

This is a lovely knitting store, and also just generally crafters are the best. 🧶
