So. I’ve spent years cultivating and (at least until the past several years) enjoying the following I’ve grown here. But I’m done. I won’t delete my account because I don’t want to give Leon the ability to take it. I may post occasionally for professional reasons if I have to promote something, but other than that, I’m out. I’ll miss all the relationships we’ve built here, and I truly hope we can all find each other elsewhere — I’m the same user name everywhere else, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find me. And so, with a hardy FUCK YOU to Elon, I’m out.

Trump’s most successful business venture ever; robbing Uncle Sam in broad daylight.

These days I’m at a loss for words. The new corruption scandal is just bananas. Trump has been using inside information to trade stocks and make millions. And the scale of the trading is just mind blowing. Here’s what we know.

The sitting president of the United States sent lawyers from our department of justice to make sure our former Attorney General didn’t answer any questions about his potential involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. But sure, nothing to see here, right?

Rep. @MelanieforNM: There is not a single Republican in the room besides the Chairman. Not a single Republican could be bothered to travel across the country to hear testimony on Epstein from Pam Bondi.

Samuel Alito hit by new scandal as son found secretly working for Trump's Treasury: Corrupt ass fucking assholes rawstory.com/samuel-alito-co…

In case anyone was wondering what the judge's ruling against Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case was.

DISGRACEFUL: ICE agents tear-gassed U.S. Senator Andy Kim at Delaney Hall detention facility in NJ today! Kim was supporting hunger-striking detainees protesting spoiled food, no medical care & extreme heat when federal agents unleashed tear gas & pepper spray. Kim struggled to breathe & injured his hand in the chaos.

They say free press keeps everyone honest. Reality: Foreign billionaire's 25-year-old daughter, whose only prior donation was $20 to Buttigieg, drops $3.5M into Trump PAC. Dad's bribery case? Vanishes into a full pardon. This is straight-up illegal. MSM is failing our nation. Swap Trump for Biden/Obama? We'd get 24/7 breaking news specials, endless columns, and paid right-wing influencers on full blast.

Hey Ken Paxton : I am an ex Waco child abuse prosecutor. And while you are focused on bathroom stalls, I am focused on why you allowed Adam Hoffman sodomize a child and he is still a member in good standing of the Texas Bar.👇

I don't want to ever hear a conservative mention the term wasteful spending again. Ever.

RT @Comixace: They had no copyright claim and still tried to take it down. Where are all you First Amendment lovers out there?

Been thinking about my call with Harry Dunn five years ago when he told me he was called the n-word 15 times while fighting Jan 6 rioters. This week, the DOJ unveiled a $1.8B fund those same rioters can apply to. Here's our conversation: thisamericanlife.org/730/the…

Dumbest motherfucker alive!

Rep Tom Kean Jr. has claimed he’s too sick to do his job in Congress—but he has apparently been perfectly fine traveling, approving staff expenditures, and trading stocks. The combined value of the trades ranges from $50,008 to $190,000. trib.al/30Hb76v

No matter what deal they do, the war has effectively given control of the Strait to Iran. What a masterclass in incompetence by Trump and his team.

Adam Hoffman raped a young boy for three years. He abused this child over and over again. The kid’s life will never be the same. His punishment? 60 days. He’s a predator who raped a child for years and he got out in 2 months. Shame on Ken Paxton & every pedophile enabler.

Erin Brockovich has launched a website and has begun tracking all data centers in America and logging resident complaints In just 1 week it’s already logged 1,690 resident complaints For this who don’t remember Erin Brockovich was the paralegal responsible for winning out a case against PG&E, Hinckley in California, because their wastewater runoff was seeping into rural areas and creating a lot of health issues for, for the surrounding neighborhoods That case brought in a $333 million settlement that went to the families affected by the situation because a lot of them either had staggering medical bills due to their tap water was no longer safe So why is this important, well residents all over America are reporting their tap water and river water is being heavily polluted by data centers Her map of data centers is new, she just launched it The website features an interactive US map showing operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, overlaid with community-reported complaints Residents can submit reports with details, photos, and locations. Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800 from 47 states shortly after Common Resident Complaints Being Logged - Water usage - Raising utility bills for residents - Noise pollution: Constant 24/7 humming from fans, generators, and cooling systems disrupting sleep, daily life, and wildlife. - E-waste from frequent hardware upgrades, pollution including PFAS concerns

🚨THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS JUST LOST CONSCIOUSNESS WHILE “HONORING” OUR FALLEN TROOPS. Of course Trump doesn’t care to stay awake for people he considers suckers and losers. This is a disgrace to our country.

I went to Delaney Hall after reports of unsafe and unconstitutional conditions inside, and what I heard from families and advocates was heartbreaking. The people being held there are fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters who deserve to be treated with dignity.

My request to access the facility was denied this morning, raising even more questions about what they are trying to hide from public view. I’ll keep fighting for answers and to hold ICE accountable.
