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.

HELLO the "israeli" government is passing a bill that allows them to execute "terrorists" in prison.

they see EVERY PALESTINIAN or brown person as a "terrorist"

they are going to round people up, put them in camps and kill them.

we need to be louder about this.

Between July 5 & Sept 4 "Portland police announced no arrests of protesters."

Videos "show federal officers firing on, grabbing, shoving, pepper-spraying, tackling or using other munitions on protesters."

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.

These are not the actions of a person who believes they will ever leave Office again. I will just keep saying that louder and louder and tell people understand that the person now destroying the White House never plans on leaving.
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.

Israel returned bodies of Palestinian hostages with clear signs of torture and execution.

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

Horrific.

Destroying property isn't violence. What the police do to PEOPLE, what ICE is doing to PEOPLE, what the system is doing to PEOPLE--that's violence.

Recognizing that long Covid exists would also mean recognizing that there was a bipartisan effort to allow as many people in the population as possible to get sick all so the wealthy could maintain their wealth.
Both parties are complicit in forcing us into an inhuman and eugenicist situation.

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.
