Kenan Malik on the Epstein files:
"“Cunt”, “bitch” and “pussy” pervade the conversations... Acquiring “pussy” is a constant obsession. “Promise an abundant [sic] of young pussy flesh”... “Thank you for a fun night... Your littlest girl was a little naughty.” These were private messages, never intended for public view. Nevertheless, they reveal how the “Epstein class” behaves when it thinks no one is watching."

There is more than misogyny, more than politics (inequality) in this objectification and abuse of women and girls - there is a more fundamental absence of everyday human qualities - empathy, imagination, sympathy, kindness.

We have allowed to flourish a system of wealth and power that promotes and rewards the very worst of us - and throws the best of us, like the Palestine Action protesters, into prison.

BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?

DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines

BASH: Oh, come on

‘Anyone who says that "immigrants should just follow the rules" has missed the fact that the rules are impossible to follow.’

This truth about our #immigration system is right up there with the fact that “they should just get in line and wait” is silly because there *is no line*.

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica built the Rx Inspector tool to show you.

Now a proposed bill would also require manufacturing location information on packaging for both generic and brand-name drugs.

Donald Trump:

There is no “God,” or — if there is — it’s not a benevolent one. Proof? Your existence.

I hope someone knocks the fading highlights out of your already dead eyes, you draconian piece of pigshit.

Fuck. Off. And. Die.

Tweet by Mikel Jollett (@Mikel_Jolett), "Republican Senators praying over a bill which kicks kids and old people off their health care in order to fund a massive kickback to the wealthy.

Man I don't know what to say, but if you think this is Christianity, you are fucking lost," with an image of GOP senators in a prayer huddle over the referenced bill.

Superimposed on the image of the original tweet is meme text, "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. Matthew 6:5"

Voting rights advocates in Ohio worry that voters won’t realize the state has now banned grace periods for ballots sent through the mail. Lawmakers have not appropriated any money for educating the public on this change.

"The unhinged behavior that we have seen from federal immigration officials, including the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were shot while drawing attention to or recording agents’ behavior, is a direct consequence of power without accountability. On Sunday, ProPublica revealed the names of the two agents involved in the Pretti shooting:"

The government illegally raided journalist Hannah Natanson’s home, abusing the legal system to do it.

This search flatly violated federal law. The court must order all her property returned and demand the DOJ explain why it hid the law banning raids on reporters’ homes.
