Sorry for anyone who didn't bother to learn Spanish in high school but is now mad that they don't understand it. It was right there dude. It's not some secret code being kept from you.
It's fine not to know stuff but don't expect the world to revolve around just the things you choose to know.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Chip Berlet, who worked to take on everything from COINTELPRO to neo-Nazis, will be remembered for helping to inform, inspire, challenge and strengthen generations of anti-racist movements on the Left.

Y'all need to pay attention to what's happening in Europe. They're not messing around. The Epstein scandal is causing heads to roll.
In America, eh, not so much. I wonder why.

Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.
Except in the United States.
Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.
We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

Today's Black Fact:
Jane Bolin was the first Black woman to attend Yale Law School in 1931 and became the first Black female judge in the United States. Thanks to her leadership employers were moved to hire people based on their skills, as opposed to discriminating against them because of race!

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Steven is now on day five of his hunger strike. La Resistencia reached out to him this morning, but received no response, raising concerns about possible retaliations. His calls may have been restricted after Steven told us GEO spoke with him after our video call with him a few days ago.

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.

Apparently, there's this thing called the Super Bowl. Apparently, in it the team from the place of my childhood will be playing the team from the place of my adulthood. Apparently, I'm supposed to feel conflicted loyalties.
To avoid said conflict, we're going to watch the Puppy Bowl.

I worry about the statute of limitations running out on some of these crimes. But, isn't it a crime to obstruct justice? To have evidence of crimes in your hands & to choose to suppress it or not to act on it?
So, maybe some of the criminals get off with humiliation, but Bondi & Blanche get busted.

All streets surrounding & exits leading to the Whipple Federal Building have been closed. This will be the first night AFAIK that the Feds, with help from local PD and Sheriff, have eliminated all protesters from Whipple since early January. There's been nearly 24/7 presence until now.
