My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

A Billionaire Wanted a Trump Pardon. His Family Gave Alina Habba a $50 Million Deal. (Gift Article)

Julio Herrera Velutini, a prominent Venezuelan, was seeking clemency. He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

This is Brett Ratner, the director of the new Melania movie, pictured lecherously groping an unidentified young girl alongside Jeffrey Epstein.

Wouldn't it have been timely to include in this article that our new Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh is in the Epstein files? Here he is planning to spend Christmas 2010 with Epstein at St. Bart's - AFTER Epstein had pled guilty to procuring a child for prostitution in 2008. via @meidastouch.com

We had files released today that contained accusations that the President of the United States stuck his fingers in little girls vaginas, and it’s crickets. If that phrasing makes you cringe, it sure as fucking hell should.

You know.....every day I think....well this can't get any more insane. Every day I'm proven wrong. Holy fuck.

So what kind of insane shit is the White House going to pull in the next 48 hours to try and change the narrative? I would think they’re not quite ready to invade Cuba yet. The tariff thing is getting old. Buckle up. Should be interesting.

Powerful statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN: "Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world..."

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

I'm listing resources available to students to do research on slavery and the trade in enslaved Africans in the Atlantic. Some people might find it useful, so I'm linking it here, in the hope that people will point be towards others. English is prefered, but any language is acceptable #skystorians

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Girls and women should not have to navigate a minefield of predators in order to live life.

Now what do you suppose that means?

America, your political system is entirely and completely broke. Period.

Uhm, Americans….is Schumer on the Epstein list? Because otherwise, WTF?

Here we fucking go! #bluejays

Have to say, this makes me kinda sick. Like what the fuck are we supposed to do? Boycott all tech? These fucking companies are rolling over just like all the German businesses did for the Nazis. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Big Tech helped bankroll the East Wing destruction

Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Google have a lot riding on their relationships with the Trump administration. They all cut checks for the ballroom.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Everything wrong with America.

@bsky.app I’ve posted a few times but would really appreciate an iPad version. Shouldn’t be that big a deal.

The Soviets built it.

If this report is true, America apparently getting ready to go full-on Nazi. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

When the Nazis came to power in Germany, they did so with only 37% of the vote. It was only after they came to power that German corporations rolled over for them. None of this is very surprising.

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

Anyone who approves of this is a terrible human being. Period.

@bsky.app Yet another request for you to push out and iPad app. As someone who’s worked in tech, this isn’t a giant ask.

I think we might have to admit that we had it wrong. Maybe it was the Israelis who had the tapes.

I cannot get my head around how completely unhinged and fucked up this is. The Ambassador to Israel implied that the President of the United States will hear the voice of God and that he should drop nukes on Iran. The United States needs regime change. Quickly.
