Writing the technological history of how America really got to space, while trying to keep my sanity in this fascist takeover of what used to be called the United States of America. Officially a Twitter refugee.

This charge is just a step away from high treason. Misconduct in public office is one of the most serious crimes in the UK and can carry a life sentence. Let's hope Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor sings like a canary. The entire UK police force is literally investigating him.

What a contrast: England investigates and arrests a member of the Royal Family. Meanwhile, the US protects a president and refuses to investigate allegations of sex with a 14 year old, or any of the other 5,300 Epstein files with references to Trump.

Vance traveled to the Olympics in Italy with a fleet of 14 planes and a motorcade of 100 vehicles. 11 planes are for staff and 300 security agents. 1 plane is solely for food supplies. 2 are transporting the 100 armored vehicles. Plus...

The hyoid bone in Epstein's throat was broken. That doesn't happen when hung by a bedsheet. All of the cameras covering Epstein's cell weren't working. All the guards that were supposed to be watching Epstein were either mysteriously on break or fell asleep. This is what the real cover-up is.

The New York State Sex Offender Registry requested an updated photo of Epstein in 2013. Trump appointed a Navy secretary who flew around with a known child rapist and registered sex offender. And a secretary of commerce who had business deals with a known child rapist and registered sex offender.

“He remembers ICE agents pulling him from a friend’s car outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him & striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he was beaten again.”

Immigrant whose skull was broken in eight places during ICE arrest says beating was unprovoked

A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked.

🧵What we are witnessing in Minnesota is not that different from what the Crown did after the Boston Tea Party. There are so many parallels to the lead-up to the American Revolution, and Trump's extreme measures in Minnesota are right in line with what King George III did to Massachusetts.

Just imagine the stuff in the Epstein files that they're holding back. Imagine the most heinous activity you can, because what we've seen so far is horrifying enough. Everything they're keeping hidden has to be 500 times worse, and Trump in the thick of it, or there would be no holding back.

BREAKING: As the Super Bowl gets ready to kick off in Las Vegas, someone just protected this video onto a building there! It’s the “P-do Bowl” featuring the men who are in the Epstein files the most. Hint: Donald Trump, Howard Lutnick and Steve Bannon are the all-stars of this game.

The Epstein Files: Jeffrey Epstein took a photo of his 2015 dinner with Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and then emailed it to himself Epstein wrote an email stating that he had a dinner planned with Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk. Jeffrey Epstein was convicted as a pedophile in 2008.

Musk is a Caravaggio of corruption. Chinese investors have funneled tens of millions of dollars into SpaceX through offshore vehicles to obscure their identities. It is illegal for any company with defense contracts. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Andy Kim are pressing Hegseth to answer for it.

NEW: Epstein files show U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was in business with Jeffrey Epstein. Not “acquaintances.” Not “briefly met.” Business partners. And somehow this keeps getting buried. How many people in power were tied to Epstein and why are they still protected? A LOT!

When I check on the British politics page for @the-independent.com, my politics reporter colleagues are all Epstein all the time (as they should be). But in the U.S., the closest thing to accountability is... Bill Clinton testifying before Congress. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.

As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

This beautiful piece was written by @jamesstout.bsky.social a young investigative journalist, author, and historian. I came across it in National Geographic, thought it timely, and scaled it down to share. My apologies for failing to attribute him. One of the perils of working while in an Uber.

🧵The Forgotten Team USA On July 3, 1936, a month before the Nazi Olympics in Berlin, a group of American athletes boarded a ship bound for Europe. The US team included Black sprinters from Harlem, Jewish gymnasts from Manhattan, and a biracial boxer from Pittsburgh.
