Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th. In the Epstein files, there is what appears to be a draft DOJ press release announcing his death that is dated August 9th.

As horrific as what is happening in the streets of Minnesota is, what is happening inside the concentration camps is so much worse. And yet Congressional Democratic leaders are completely silent about it. (Whereas rank and file Congressional Dems have drawn attention to it.)
NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.
“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.
But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

This sort of smug, dismissive superiority from pundits - "oh, you were naive to think anything could be better" - is defeatist and lazy. There are a million different ways the world isn't the way it should be. That is an invitation for improvement! Use your platform to rally people for change!
This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.

top schumering lately. his party's supporters want ICE abolished; he proposes ICE being reformed, & then those reforms are a bunch of half-measures like the agents not wearing masks, & then he waters that down until we land on the agents not wearing masks unless they say they have a reason. 10/10
Chuck Schumer says ICE should be allowed to wear masks in "unusual circumstances—you know, some guy's picture was put up by a terrorist group or something."

Check out this thread on how the West Seattle Bridge erased an entire neighborhood!
I'm going to work to recreate the Youngstown neighborhood before it was obliterated by the West Seattle bridge. Curious if folks have recommendations on resources, or perhaps pictures/info they can drop here?
Wow, Delridge Way sure looked a lot more pleasant before the West Seattle Bridge.
Even still, I'd be surprised if there were many people against the impacts caused by this car infrastructure then, like we are now with light rail. We're strange like that.

Bid limits—prohibiting local governments from performing their own work over a certain dollar value—are a form of privatization that increases the cost of government.
Our crew-built work is one big way that we’re delivering the Seattle Transportation Levy.
By using in-house construction crews, we complete improvements that you’ve requested with lower costs and faster timelines.
Here are 9 recently completed projects from our inspector’s camera roll:

After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.
18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

ICE is murdering them in the camps. They strangled Geraldo Campos to death.
Chuck, the words you’re looking for are “abolish and prosecute every single one of them.” ICE cannot be reformed.
Claw back the $75 billion or resign in disgrace.

People don’t get it. They’ve done the math and will be given quotas of how many democrat voters they need to temporary detain until polls close then release them. And even if it doesn’t work they’ll claim fraud occurred and will erase the results anyway. The country is gone

The patent only expired in 2019.
