This week:

- demand release of the Epstein files
- hex the patriarchy
- stay hydrated
Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 72 of the last 84 days.
Epstein Shutdown.
We're finally Covid free and recovering.
It would be safer in another timeline.
Hex the patriarchy and release the Epstein files!

Apparently I'm back on tiktok. I had left for obvious reasons in January.

Abuse like Epstein's proceeds w/ the premise that the victims are voiceless or can be shamed, intimidated, threatened, or discredited so iif they do try to speak up. Today they spoke up and were heard on national media. May their power continue, may accountability come for all the perpetrators.
Silver is embarrassing

Over and over does @anneapplebaum.bsky.social stress the kleptocracy mechanisms and motivations underlying thr present moment.
I also have her, she's lovely.
All true, but letβs add that he has a long history of being bailed out by Russian mobsters, engaging in money laundering with Russian oligarchs and had every minute of time in Moscow for the Miss Universe quest followed or taped. Itβs not wacky to wonder about all of that.
Release the Epstein files

This morning started at the farmers' market.
Saw a window sticker, "Don't Pretend Your Racism Is Patriotism." It made me happy.
The market - eggplant, zucchini, peaches, tomatoes, pepper, peaches, cantaloupe, watermelon, sausage, rolls, cookies, banana bread, mushrooms, staghorn sumac. Flowers.
Not a Mom, but yes. The perfection we expect from women is unreal. And thankless.
This weekβs piece is long - but it comes with an added audio version (read by me, not some AI garbage) to make it more accessible, hopefully.

Donβt let this die. Keep elevating this.
Every day Trump bloviates about some new nonsense is another day heβs covering up the Epstein filesβ¦because he obviously has plenty to hide. Donβt let this drift to the back burner, people.
When Trump starts talking about arresting Obama and nuking the moon, itβs because the Epstein news is about to get really bad. Classic distraction play. The crazier the headline, the closer we are to the truth. ON THE LIST!
βAmong respondents who were aware of Epstein, the deceased billionaire and convicted sex offender, 63 percent agreed that the Trump administration βis hiding important informationβ about the case.β www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape.
Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.
Insane.
