Finally for better or for worse, there is no Biden without the protest of 2020. I know that it's impossible now for people to remember anything but that's a fact. All of the people now moonwalking away from a concrete policy demand would do well to remember this. Take care everyone.
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.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · 3w agoBombshell 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:
"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 3w agoPresident Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v
"Cis people who still do their Wordles or who still like Harry Potter? I cannot trust them. They are a threat in the sense that a drunk behind the wheel is dangerous or a sleepwalker stumbling towards a staircase is dangerous. Willfully or not they may cause actual harm."

Joe Flynn@chinajoeflynn.bsky.social · last mo.Their goal is for the Dems to be the Reagan-era Republicans, and it's a fairly plausible dream given what we've seen from the Dems.
it's also weird how these types never seem to want to just roll up their sleeves and help. nah they want to lead and tell you what to do. hey assholes. this is largely a problem of your creation. sit down

There have got to be serious consequences for participating in public corruption like this. Soliciting a corrupt service from a government official should be a major big boy felony that puts the entire corporate board in prison for a long time. It cannot be something corps even want to try.

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.
I hope the college students who protested the US-funded massacre of Palestinian civilians, while being vilified by their universities and politicians and even the president, understand that they are actually having an impact, just much slower than they hoped

Every time I read a story about gynecology it's always something like "doctors discovered women could experience pain in 1989 but decided not to act on this knowledge for 20 years"
19thnews@19thnews.org · 2mo agoTrials found that Carevix — a portmanteau of “care” and “cervix" — reduced pain during IUD insertion by up to 73 percent and bleeding by 78 percent, compared to the tenaculum.
100% It's misogyny from people who profit off performative misogyny. It's misogyny from people who are just plain misogynistic. And it's misogyny from people who don't realize they're doing misogyny and can't articulate why they feel the way they do. The rest is momentum from all that hatred.
Melissa Ryan@melissaryan.bsky.social · 2mo ago"So why are people acting like Supergirl is the worst movie ever made? (One critic even said it had the “worst script I can remember.”) There’s a simple answer: misogyny." Yes.
