As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
ZERO EXCEPTIONS!! Some things are simply EXCEPTIONAL!
I met Ms. Knox at Powells Books in Portland in May. She was warm, approachable, and kind. I admire her for transcending the cruelty of others and not, in the words of Springsteen’s famous lyric, “end[ing] up like a dog that’s been beat too much ‘til you spend half your life just covering up.” Brava.
“We’re all going through something, we’re all carrying something, and the gulf that separates us from one another is bridgeable through empathy. Empathy is a tool of the imagination. You may not have lived someone else’s worst moment, but you’ve lived your own.” - Amanda Knox
Predictably and depressingly, the MAGA cult is insisting that the Minnesota shooter is a reflection of all trans persons. By that rationale Ted Bundy is an indictment of all straight white men. Grow up.
Who did this?
This is why I can’t quit the internet🤣🤣🤣
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
Thank God the US soldiers landing on the beach on D-Day all had their weighted blankets. They couldn’t have hoped to defeat the Nazis without them.

Echoing the famous title of the Muhammad Ali/Joe Frazier boxing match known as the Thrilla in Manila, someone online has come up with the perfect name for the Putin/Trump summit: DISASTA IN ALASKA.
NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response. She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.
There’s a famous old saying that history repeats itself first as tragedy and the second time as farce. This gets it backwards. The Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal was the farce version of Watergate; Trump covering up the sex trafficking of children is tragedy.
Virginia Giuffre’s brother: Calling it a hoax is a complete disgrace to everything that my sister has worked for, everything these survivors have worked for and continue to fight for… And that feels very uncompassionate coming from somebody that’s the leader of our country.
Trump is so crooked that when he dies they’re going to have to screw him into his coffin.
Melting whipped cream.

Sounds about right.
Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.
Dershowitz says he’s going to sue the farmers’ market for refusing to sell to him, BUT — he is evidently NOT going to sue Medhi Hasan, who accused Dershowitz of lying on national television. To call Dershowitz a cretin is to defame cretins.

"No matter where I lived, I knew this was guaranteed because after moving into a new place, we’d plug in our old box television, adjust the shitty little antenna just so, and voila, like magic, there was PBS. It was free."
I’m old enough to remember when Jay Leno was the host of The Tonight Show and had Rush Limbaugh on to fawn over him. It’s always the right-wingers who wave the “I’m not political” flag and imply that liberals should just shut up.
I remember when this happened.
They're not even trying to hide it.

“And there’s always free ketamine for the kids!”
This is horrifying.
Lots of confusion around Epstein. Hope this helps!
So instead of releasing the Epstein Files which contain all the evidence in the case, Trump is going to try and release grand jury transcripts that contain far less than 1% of the evidence, & secure a statement from Maxwell who has every incentive to lie for a sentence reduction.
"We are so frigging scared of how much the Epstein files could hurt Donald Trump that we are shutting down Congress!!!!" isn't the savviest maneuver to get people to stop thinking about the Epstein files, Republicans.
Let that sink in for a sec.
This will put victims of domestic violence in danger by restoring their abusers’ access to firearms. And I will bet dollars to donuts Pam Bondi doesn’t know that neither the original text of the Constitution nor the Bill of Rights says anything about a right to vote.

Rebekah Gleaves Sanderlin's accusation against Simp: www.threads.com/@sanderlinr/...
A U.S. citizen and former Marine detained. A 15-year-old boy with no criminal record held at "Alligator Alcatraz." A father who has lived here for 30 years. No criminal record. Still held by ICE after nearly 6 months. We are witnessing the cruelty of Trump's police state.
It’s a cover up.
If Trump is stupid enough to follow through on his threat to sue the Wall Street Journal, he will have to turn over the Epstein files in discovery and then sit for a deposition in which he is questioned about his relationship with Epstein on the record and under oath.

The what? Whose files? What’s an Epstein?
"Alan, don't lie on TV where people can factcheck you. Which Israeli soldier was prosecuted for dropping a grenade on a child?" My challenge to Dershowitz to come back on Piers Morgan's show & name these Israelis he falsely claims have been prosecuted. Full debate: youtube.com/watch?v=FFCg...
And Alan Dershowitz has been a proud sycophant to both of them.
Thank you for holding Dershowitz accountable. Someone finally did. Even with his repeated interruptions and talking over you, you beat him hands down. Well done.
MAGA men are so effin' weak and devoid of decency that they'd keep the Epstein files concealed, even if they knew their daughters, wives, sisters, or mothers had been victimized. They worship him that much. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-the-pre...
It is not a prison, and we should never consent to calling it that. And we cannot call it what the monsters who made it want us to call it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/call-it-wh...

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. END THE COVERUP.
While World Central Kitchen, the Red Cross, and other charities are on the ground in Texas helping flood victims, Trump is spending the day playing golf at our expense.
While attending a live performance by a band in a local park last night, I saw two little girls dancing happily and smiled at the reminder that there is still good in the world.
This is prayers before passing a bill that will kill people. We tried to warn people about Project 2025 and they didn't believe us. They are fucking insane and are going to destroy America one piece of legislation at a time. This is your enemy. They want you to die. You better start fighting.
There’s something SERIOUSLY WRONG with a political system like this.
Yes. This is in fact what each VP did.

Someone has gone through and actually run the numbers on molestation crimes against children. The politicians who commit these crimes are overwhelmingly Republican. 67% of politicians convicted between February 10, 2023 and May 23, 2024 nationwide were Republicans. www.whoismakingnews.com
God’s reply: “Hey, leave me out of this.”
Trump (actual quote): “I just want to thank everyone — in particular, God. We love you, God.” God: “Hey, leave me out of this.”
Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.
Ted Cruz is allergic to the truth. Always has been.
Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.
Funny how Trump didn’t call out the National Guard on January 6. I guess it slipped his mind.
Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.
Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.
Someone just sent me a group email making the case for Jamie Dimon for president. No. No more rich oligarchs

Let’s not be too hasty in our assumptions. We mustn’t forget that Trump is very, very stupid.
In his commencement speech at West Point, Trump said that no one wanted to enlist while Biden was President . . . to an audience of people who had enlisted while Biden was President.

If you didn’t watch tonight’s “60 Minutes” on TV, try to find it online. Trump is attacking the rule of law itself.
