The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.

Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.

It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!

Repost if you agree.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

This morning I woke up to being accused of mansplaining, and frankly, it was the beginning to what has been a pretty shit day.

I don't mansplain.

I am, however, nuerodivergent, definitely ADHD and likely on the spectrum somewhere. I genuinely love researching complex topics and situations.

September 22, 2025 Statement on Jimmy Kimmel Live! From the Walt Disney Company The Walt Disney Company issued the following statement today regarding Jimmy Kimmel Live! Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.

Disney+ will remain cancelled. Trust has to be rebuilt, and I'm not optimistic.
thegodpodcast.com God @thegodpodcast.com · Sep 22
Jimmy Kimmel returns tomorrow.

This is an important victory for free speech.

Remember that it was YOU all using your power TOGETHER that got a gigantic corporation to reverse itself.

Bless everyone who participated in telling Mickey Mouse to fuck off.

Just more evidence that establishment Dems have little interest in actually making the world better. The Searchlight Institute is being funded by several "progressive" billionaires, basically people who want to keep their tax cuts but don't want the full fascist to win because bad for business.
Screenshot of a New York Times article: A New Democratic Think Tank Wants to Curb the Influence of Liberal Groups Led by a former aide to Senator Harry Reid, the Searchlight Institute is soping to persuade Democrats to play down causes like climate change and L.G.B.T.Q. rights to appeal to more voters Below is an image of 5 individuals that appear to be in their late 30s - early 40s. From left to right, a white man, hands in pockets, with a slight smile, a white woman with bright red hair and an overly serious face hands clasped behind her, in the center and slightly in front of everyone else is a tall white man with long brown hair and a beard hands folded in front of him(looks to be taking himself way too seriously), a bald black man with hands in pants pockets and no specific expression, and a white woman with brown hair hands clasped in front of her and a slight smile and tilted head. They all stand outside in a park or green space in front of several green trees.

It seems the first episode of #StarTrekScouts (1st pic) has finally revealed what the rubber ducky rooms on the USS Enterprise-D (#StarTrekTNG ⬇️) and USS Cerritos (#StarTrekLowerDecks ⬆️) can (or in this case cannot) be useful for. Check it out! 😂 #HappyStarTrekDay!

A screenshot of a post on X. It's a double quote tweet. The original post is a photo of bacon in a frying pan and the caption says, "Just wanting to share some bacon with all my lovable Muslim peeps this monning. It's the least I can do." Then another account quotes that with the caption, "Hey @ZohranKMamdani this is for you, Bone-petite!" And finally Zohran quote tweets that with the caption, "my brother, this isn't garlic and we're not vampires."

The Polari Prize issued a statement saying it believes its longlistees can hold “different positions on substantive issues.” This is like long listing a racist with authors of color then telling everyone it’s a mere “different position on a substantive issue”. Trans people are a fact. Not an “issue”

You can't call yourself "a prize for LGBTQ+ literature" and longlist a self-proclaimed terf. Anyone can give any prize to anyone they like, of course. But don't pretend you're a prize for my community when you're platforming someone who's actively fighting against it.

Just saw the polari prize statement on their long list.

How in 2025 an LGBTQ+ organisation can be defending John Boyne, a transphobe who picked a fight with the Auschwitz Memorial, is beyond me.

DRAGONFLIGHT (1978)
Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30"

For the first book in Anne McCaffrey's now legendary Dragonriders of Pern series, I wanted to create a literal visualization of the title. I selected an aerial point-of-view and tilted the horizon to simulate the dizzying sensation of flight. 1/4
A flight of dragons swoops past a rocky mountain peak down that mostly obscures the sun. The light tints green sky yellow along the ridge. With wings spread wide, the lead dragon pulls up from a dive with beak open to expose teeth and tongue. The arc of its climb intersects a red striated planet. The female dragonrider raises one arm up as she glances back over her shoulder.
