The NYT found that doctors hired by Epstein, for himself, the girls & women he associated with, bent or broke ethical rules. Epstein rewarded some of these medical professionals with substantial fees, gifts, & donations. Complicity = guilt. Consequences 4 all!

A win! A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from gutting the appeals process for migrants facing deportation stopping a planned overhaul that would have automatically thrown out all appeals

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS #TTRPG Don't support "Sisters of the Dawn" on #backerkit - or visit the Linkin Bio. It's totally slanderous to the Order of the Dark Wheel - the Order doesn't support 🧊, and never has. #witch #rpg #orderofthedarkwheel

ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

The Super Bowl is chock full of AI ads and, from the bottom of my heart, I hope every single company humoring this shit goes bankrupt in glorious fashion, and that the marketing firms responsible for pitching this fuck-awful slop spends the rest of their miserable days fighting off lawsuits.

All the cultural references from Bad Bunny's Halftime show broken down. 👇🏼🇵🇷 www.forbes.com/sites/hannah...
Every element of this performance was deliberate. Bad Bunny brought out Puerto Rican culture to the Super Bowl, yes, but more than that, he brought an entire neighborhood, complete with its history, struggles, joy, music, food, people, and values.

The jíbaros in the fields honored agricultural workers. The panderos and cuatros celebrated musical heritage. The casita recreated community. The real wedding demonstrated love. The power lines acknowledged ongoing colonial neglect. The little boy receiving the Grammy offered hope for the next generation.

And the final message, “Together We Are America”, rejected the false choice between being Puerto Rican and being American. In thirteen tightly choreographed, intentionally thought out minutes, he delivered a history lesson, a political statement, a cultural celebration, and a party.

To give up making art is to give up hope. It’s to silently admit to ourselves that there’s no future... ...that our days to come are so bleak that we might as well quit now and roll over to help the tank treads roll over us that much easier. open.substack.com/pub/rickkita...

ICE agents in Worcester, Massachusetts arrested a mother outside of her home with her newborn baby and 16 year old daughter. The 16 year old stood in front of the ICE vehicle holding the baby. She handed the baby to a neighbor & fled. Police caught up to her, in a heartbreaking scene.⬇️

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.
