More world leaders need to call for an international criminal investigation of #Epstein. The withholding and sloppy redactions signal American and DOJ incompetence. The files need to be secured/reviewed for the purpose of international justice.

Was Epstein a Russian agent collecting incriminating info on rich powerful politicians and billionaires to blackmail them for Putin?

A lot of men who enjoyed the privilege of being considered "leaders" are morally bankrupt. Lacking a conscience. The #EpsteinFiles is the sum of their achievement. It is their legacy.

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

As it relates to the files, is it possible to call for a full international inquiry? His reach was astonishing. I want to know more, not less. Can the DOJ be called before an international court?

A second woman is accusing Jeffrey Epstein of sex trafficking her to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, the BBC reports.
The woman’s lawyer said the alleged encounter occurred at the ex-prince’s then-residence, Royal Lodge, on the grounds of Windsor Castle. New @ms.now:

I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!
