The death penalty is wrong

Ughhhhh

Everything is just super! 🇺🇸🤦‍♀️

Sigh

It’s infuriating that Fetterman is actually worse at responding coherently than our MAGA Senator

I have to say the Post chose a hell of a moment to lay off all their foreign correspondents

Dozens of little girls were killed in war waged to coverup the rape and murder of other little girls by the perpetrators waging it. This is Epsteins war.

This week's cover @thelancet.com

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump Documents released by the Justice Department briefly mention a woman’s unverified accusation that Donald J. Trump assaulted her in the 1980s, when she was a minor. But several memos related to her account are not in the files.

Breaking News: The Justice Department did not release key records in the Epstein files about a woman who made an unverified accusation against Donald Trump. In 2019, the woman said she had been sexually assaulted by Trump and Jeffrey Epstein decades earlier, when she was a minor.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files.

This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now.

Sewickley father detained by ICE as 6-year-old daughter begins cancer treatment His arrest came just two days before his 6-year-old daughter, Maria, began treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma.

ICE abducted a father of a six-year-old who is undergoing cancer treatment in a suburb outside Pittsburgh on Sunday and took him to a detention center in West Virginia.

The cruelty is boundless.

This is VERY bad

The Post is a treasure and it’s devastating what’s happening, but it’s time give up on the hope that people like Bezos will see the light, and instead shift our dollars and eyes to independent journalism

Yeah so, I really want to see all my non-American friends as much and as soon as possible, but I also want them to not be here for the “raw sewage” situation. Sh*t is not okay over here, friends.

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.

In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Gov. Walz: "What side do you want to be on? The side of an all-powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace, and kidnap its citizens off the street, or the side of a nurse for a VA hospital who died bearing witness to such government?"

Agree! Our biggest voices have been too quiet. I welcome anyone speaking out now though, all are welcome on team anti-this.f*cking.bullsh*

For those of you who’ve never experienced -20° winds, let me just say it can be painful at times — on the skin, in the eyes and ears, and even when trying to speak.

Those Minnesotans are American heroes.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Gutting

White House press secretary tells CBS ‘we’ll sue your ass off’ if it edits Trump interview Karoline Leavitt was recorded warning network to broadcast new interview with president in full and without edits

If cbs has any guts, they would not air any of it and explain why…. But of course now the newsroom is run by MAGA conspiracist Bari Weiss they will just roll over for their master.

Do Americans Think the Country Is Losing or Gaining Ground in Science? Republicans and Democrats agree that it’s important the U.S. is a world leader in science, but sharply diverge on how the U.S. is faring.

84% of Americans say government investments in scientific research aimed at advancing knowledge are worthwhile.

Yet a large and increasing share of Americans from both parties say we are losing ground.

So, let's elect reps who support science!

2020 Academy of American Poets Prize On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs by Renée Nicole Macklin

A beautiful poem by the woman murdered by ICE. I feel rage and aching and horror. It isn’t more awful because she wrote this, but it is heartbreaking and tragic in an almost tangible way to read her poetry.
