This is not normal. Reported this to Google News with a reminder that this is patently racist, xenophobic propaganda -and most likely illegally political messaging- from a federal agency. Encouraged them to resist sharing shit like this.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

I loved The Wire, but to mix up all the Isiah Whitlock Jr remembrances here today, I’ll share one of his last (which I also thoroughly enjoyed). Thank you chief!

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

This is profoundly un-American.

No—that's not right.

It's *anti*-American.

It's hatred of the United States and its founding documents and all its people and all its traditions.

The person who wrote and approved this is a weirdo who detests everything that America stands for.

It's actually worse. The Supreme Court has held 9-0 -- Clarence Thomas and other executive power fanatics included -- that detainees rendered to another country via the Alien Enemies Act are entitled to a pre-deportation hearing. There is no legal debate whatsoever.
Belatedly, this line from Weiss' memo is...something

Let's get someone who says banishing to CECOT was legit, she says

Here's the thing: There's a consensus among legal experts that *wasn't* legit

NEW: Statement from some Epstein survivors:

"It is alarming that the United States Department of Justice, the very agency tasked with upholding the law, has violated the law, both by withholding massive quantities of documents, and by failing to redact survivor identities.."

Believe women.
“The New York Times contacted Ms. Farmer about a report stamped with the date of Sept. 3, 1996. She broke down in tears.

“I’ve waited 30 years,” she said. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

“The man who shot and killed two people in an episode of political violence will help celebrate the life of a man shot and killed in an episode of political violence.”

What a fitting tribute; at “America Fest.”
Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenage shooter who killed two people and wounded a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has returned this month with a big announcement.

That announcement, however, proved to be as embarrassing as many of his previous attempts to call attention to himself.

"I think you're a joke."
A Florida sheriff had a message for Kyle Rittenhouse: "I think you’re a joke"
The once-famous teenage shooter's comeback lasted exactly one week.
