Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”
I'm telling you now, please take care and stay safe. Things are about to get a lot uglier than they are right now.

#Frankenstein Review: "One of Guillermo del Toro’s finest, this is epic-scale storytelling of uncommon beauty, feeling and artistry. While Netflix is giving this visual feast just a three-week theatrical run ahead of its streaming debut, it begs to be experienced on the big screen." bit.ly/4p70BQg
performative hogwash orchestrated by a bunch of stinking co-conspirators who have discarded their humanity in pursuit of absolute christo-fascist dominion over all those they despise
A veteran with close ties to Mahatma Gandhi. Was arrested and charged with conspiracy for showing up to an ice protest and linking arms with other protesters. No rocks thrown. No Molotov cocktails. No weapons or violence used by him. Peaceful non violent protesting. It’s OUR RIGHT! #pinks #demvoice1

MAGA is anti-consent and pro-rape with an adjudicated rapist at the helm. This is on-brand Trump decision making. Victim as culprit.
Not if your business model involves demonizing and ultimately jailing non-Christians, who will then be put to work as slave labor for Christian-owned businesses and their Christian customers.

Definitely a requirement to win a Nobel Peace Prize. Fucking Nazis. www.military.com/daily-news/2...
The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
The dude who’s deploying our own military against us is crying about hostile acts

Resigned CDC official: I was really optimistic that we could continue to improve public health infrastructure across our nation. But with losing 30% of my staff, not able to execute contracts, not be able to hire new individuals, it became apparent I wasn't going to be effective in my role

Trump’s “solution” to school shootings? Arm teachers. No funding for safety, no action on gun laws, just more weapons around kids. He wants classrooms turned into war zones and teachers forced into combat roles. Our children deserve learning, not lockdown drills. Books, not bullets. Moron.
Curiously, the main organizers of the highly influential MAGA conference where JD Vance debuted his "America is a people" speech last year don't live in the US—they live in West Bank settlements. This year's conference is happening now. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Lavrov: "For lasting peace, new territorial realities must be recognized under international law." They want international recognition of Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories. If that happens, that will mean completely destruction of existing international law and order.
Rep. Robert Garcia: "Donald Trump has the power right now to release all of the epstein files and documents right now. The DOJ is refusing to release the documents that have been subpoenaed. There is a massive coverup at the highest level."
The rise and fall of the MAGA movement. “Owning the libs, racism, bigotry, white supremacism, and Christian nationalism fuel their misguided view and hatred of anything not falling within their self defined bubble.

Here are a few more despicable examples of do nothing Mike Lee. I take particular umbrage with him being the only senator to vote (96-1) AGAINST removing the wait time for newly diagnosed ALS patients to receive SSDI benefits. It shows just how heartless he is. www.sltrib.com/opinion/lett...

So far, four House Republicans have defied Trump and signed a discharge petition to force a vote on the release of Justice Department files associated with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
32 USC § 502(f)(2) would violate Article IV of the Constitution if applied to support deployment of un-federalized out-of-state National Guard troops into a state that didn’t want those troops there, as with Trump’s proposed use of the Texas National Guard to invade Illinois
I wish every Dem near a microphone would say: 1. This is fascism 2. He is unfit 3. Anyone supporting him is supporting the destruction of the United States of America
It sure didn't take long for Trump to turn the United States into the most incompetent, feckless and ridiculous nation on the face of the Earth.
Warner is the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee and was scheduled to meet with officials on Friday at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in Springfield, Virginia. Apparently loony Laura didn't like Sen Warner calling for Kilmar Abrego Garcia to get due process.

YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME AT THIS POINT THAT THIS CURRENT FASCIST REGIME IS NOT LITERALLY INTENT ON KILLING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, IF NOT MILLIONS OF AMERICANS. Nothing else makes sense to me when watching this utter chaos unfold.
Yes, he is criminally insane, dangerous, soulless, mentally unstable. But yet, no one has made any real effort to remove him from office. Is there someone out there brave enough to take the bull(y) by the horns, so to speak? Make a strong statement & do something to end this reign of terror(ists)?
