This article succinctly describes the current desensitization of the true atrocities of war. As society, we should never be blind or turn away from this truth. This romanticism of war is an extreme form of denial. And much more…

ICE agents threaten to put bystanders on database of domestic terrorists, new lawsuit claims YouTube video by WTKR News 3

This lawsuit gives you as full a view of how Stephen Miller wants to use every aspect of the government to destroy the privacy of anyone he brands as a target. And it, or one like it, could end up being one of the most important in deciding how free the rest of our lives will be.

I wish she were alive today to see how important her advocacy for the Epstein survivors was. For her vital part in stopping them from sweeping them under the rug. And damn all of the people who caused her so much pain.

Pete Buttigieg just dropped this:
Some of Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors will be sitting in the audience at Trump’s State of the Union. The cameras rolling and Trump who once called Epstein a “terrific guy” trying to control the narrative.

Woman Who ‘Credibly Accused’ Trump of Sex With a Minor Reportedly Had Her Records Removed From Epstein Files Accusations by a woman who "credibly accused Donald Trump of having sex with a minor he met through Jeffrey Epstein," were reportedly removed from the files.

"The FBI spoke to this woman not once but at least four separate times. Now those records appear to have been removed from public viewing — despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The FBI recorded the first interview on August 9, 2019 — the day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell."

NEW: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s husband has been barred from entering Labor Department HQ after two female staffers accused him of sexual assault inside the building, according to NYT. One alleged incident was captured on security cameras and is now part of a criminal investigation.

It speaks volumes about the state of America…that the British PM is facing more serious calls to resign over Epstein than our own POTUS who was DIRECTLY linked to him… www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-...

I support Massie reading the Epstein client list AND the most salacious allegations in the files regarding Trump and other members of the Trump Junta.

Let's see how much tolerance there is in America for a President who violently rapes 12-13 year old girls and boys.

Democrats will not rule out sending subpoenas as high as King Charles. Jasmine Crockett: "Epstein is gone, but we don't know that the ring is gone. We need to make sure there's not some cabal operating currently."

Musk will have to testify over his role in shuttering USAID, a judge has ruled.

The DOJ tried to protect Musk from testifying, arguing it would “intrude on White House activities," but as Musk wasn’t a secretary or agency head, this reasoning doesn't excuse him. trib.al/EGROKkN

In 2022, Erin Jackson became the first Black woman from any country to win gold in any individual event at the Winter Olympics.

Yesterday, she became the first Black woman to bear the flag for #TeamUSA at the Winter Olympics.

Congratulations Erin - keep making us proud!

Another tragic example of Musk’s deadly and reckless endeavors. How is this guy still allowed to sell these vehicles in the US?

Now that the Clintons called the Republican bluff and want to testify about Epstein, Trump is busy kissing their asses. It’s almost like he suddenly, desperately wants them not to do it.

Thorbjørn Jagland offered to connect Jeffrey Epstein to Lavrov. KGB defectors had named him “Yuri” decades earlier

This is what we’ve come to. From “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” to harassment of people who care about others and dare to put that care into writing. 😔

Immigrants commit fewer crimes.

Immigrants pay taxes.

Immigrants contribute over $2 trillion to the economy.

The problem isn't immigrants.

The problem is the bigots.

JUST IN: Steve Bannon says on his podcast the goal is to have #ICE agents at polling locations so never again can elections be stolen. This is intimidation! Also, this is not the job description of ICE.

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Do not bs us on this.

Don’t even think about it.

Not one single day of an extension.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

I've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!"

No. No, you wouldn't.

We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors.

Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

Will MAGA justify this as well because all undocumented people are committing a crime? no religion or Christianity claims that these people hide behind can justify this kind of cruelty.

Good fucking morning to everyone except the MAGA bootlickers calling these new Epstein files a “nothingburger.” They implicate the president in the abuse of young women—along with multiple top Trump officials. Face the truth: These are serious crimes, and the DOJ is helping cover them up.
