One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

Thinking back fondly on the time someone accused me of trying to dox them simply for showing them a screenshot of their own bio. They posted under their legal name and a selfie. They managed to get actual serious people to block me over it lmao

Primary mistake AOC made on Majority Report imo was choosing to use the term MAHA rather than frame her statements as an undermining of it; I do think trying to take woo types is a decent idea but it has to be such that we actually offer them good policy as a counter to MAHA

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

as much as the homestuck trolls are parodies of readers, of scifi trope junk, of easily commodifiable fictional races, etc etc etc i think hussie was at least onto something with the troll romance quadrants. even though they got played as a joke a lot
