Courage is contagious!

Yep.
If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.

The American people are resisting Trump—and they are winning. They will rise to meet every challenge he poses. Do not ignore us; do not dismiss us. We are writing the future of our nation in the streets.
The tide is turning as Trump hides from the public.

The Trump administration is fighting a war of attrition on America’s soul, but it has vastly underestimated the strength, endurance and conscience of the people against whom it is waging this war. @roxanegay.bsky.social

We’ll outlast them. We’ll win.
To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully:

The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

Patriotic opposition to Trump’s autocracy is radiating outward from Minnesota. The view from afar, as impressive as it is, doesn’t begin to describe the breadth and depth of the pro-democracy movement that is happening on the ground.

Minneapolis has shown the country and the world what courageous, organized, and morally righteous defense of democracy looks like. These heroic actions may well have set in motion the collapse of the MAGA tyranny project. @jenrubin.bsky.social

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

The president has lost his grip on his winning electoral coalition, whose members increasingly feel as if he’s betrayed them and brought the country to a state of chaos. @samsteindc.bsky.social
This Focus Group Should Absolutely Terrify Trump
They voted for Biden in 2020 and Trump in 2024. And they aren’t happy with what they’re seeing, especially in Minneapolis.

Lying to the American people is the only option for the administration when we can, once again, all see what happened with our own eyes.
