I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

This is what the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool looks like today after a $17M deliberate fuck up and the orange felon won’t stop until he destroys everything. Makes me sick to my stomach every day.

An ICE goon threatened to kill a person as they were legally observing a detention in Chicago. This same goon was videoed September 20 in Evanston, IL, where he and his team injured a US citizen whom they attempted to detain. Chicago | 9.25.26

I have never underestimated Trump’s lying, or his ability to spew bullshit. But he has in fact lost substantial control of his mind. And his ability to distinguish truth from lies—which was never really strong or important to him—is, at this point, de minimis.

On Anthropic meeting: "Well, we're meeting with Anthropic, as you know, on Tuesday. That's going to be big, and we have a couple of unrelated things tonight. And tonight, I'm having dinner with the head of Anthropic. So these are long days, but I seem to be able to have them, right? These are long days.
People said, 'Really?' I said, 'I'm having dinner at 10 o'clock tonight.' So we travel all over the world, and we have dinner, but that's all right. So, so I'm having dinner with Dario from, as you know, very highly respected, from Anthropic. He's the head of Anthropic.

re-upping this because we've reached another tentative equilibrium in which Saudis have been able to ramp up exports, and oil and gasoline both have come back down a bit off their highs. But with Trump formally rejecting Iranian deal, look for Iran to start using other methods to apply pressure

I am alarmed by the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Oleshky, a town in the temporarily occupied parts of the Kherson region of Ukraine.
Civilians, including children, are trapped without sufficient food, medicines, medical care, running water or electricity. Reports indicate that they face a high risk of death.
Under international humanitarian law, Russia, as the occupying power, has the duty to provide food and medical supplies and to facilitate humanitarian relief.
I call for an immediate local ceasefire, unhindered humanitarian access, and the safe evacuation of civilians.
The hardship and suffering of people caught along the frontlines of the war and in occupied territories demand international attention and action. #humanrights #Ukraine #Oleshky #Kherson
