Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files:
The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN.
As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape.
Words matter. Get them right.

It's the same party. Stop pretending the Democrats and the Republicans are two different entities. They are both the system that runs the U.S. and it's a system that upholds white supremacy and corporate greed. Some of you are truly too smart to not get this and I'm starting to question your motive.

What Really Happened in Portland Before Trump Deployed the National Guard
In the two months before Trump's decision, criminal charges were announced against only three people. On nights when physical conflict did erupt, it often came from police.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Historically speaking, when a small, extremely vulnerable group is saying “hey guys this is a real problem and I know it seems like our problem right now but it’s actually going to be your problem too” and a large group has said “SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP” the vulnerable group has been right.

Just 25 of 150 bodies have been able to be identified.

Re. The 3rd Amendment When we lived in rural Spain, our landlady loved to tell us how they hid food and other goods from Franco's troops when they would raid their homes for desperately needed supplies and shelter. Today I find myself turning those stories less as nostalgia and more as strategy.
We've already got the 1st and 4th amendments well covered with various ICE raids and state department actions against people who said things they don't like. As an American Revolution nerd, I'm kind of rooting for some quartering of troops in houses so we can cross the 3rd Amendment off the list.
