To our NATO family:
First of all, I apologize on behalf of the United States. We are being held hostage by a bunch of fascists.
Second of all, please help us. Thank you.

You could have given me 100,000 chances to name someone in the Epstein files (and not just via a random mention) and I wouldn't have come up with Will Forte.

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

When you think back to the nomination hearings, every damn nominee has abandoned the assurances they made.

Kira Kelley:
The court needs to focus on DHS & ICE rather than the DOJ lawyers who come into court representing those agencies
Are DHS & ICE "making it impossible for counsel to comply?"
"counsel for respondents [i.e., DHS & ICE] don't have the power to get their clients under control."

Posts of disgusting files with pictures of Epstein torturing young girls tied to the ground were being shared today while Trump sent goons to gas attack peaceful citizens in another American city. Nothing to see here. Present your papers. Move along.

Trump wants to "cancel" the mid term elections.
As I understand it: He doesn't have the power to do that. They're state run; he can not just, say, sign an executive order to make that go away.
Why are we even reacting to that? He clearly wants to stir up shit to distract from the Epstein Files.

one solution: ballot verification software
free/opensource since 2019
used by denmark & france
verifies the voter's choices then voters can verify submission
why this matters: blue down ballots chose red president (or did they?) just under recount thresholds causing unusual statistical anomalies

washington state is exploring options with it for their machines
2019 MS released it for free/opensource & mitch mcconnell tabled election security bills, which speaks volumes

Now 47 is started to push hard on breaking elections. Last June Elon said he fixed the last election. Not sure how Tulsi fits, but those two things fit together.

The thing is, Tulsi doesn't work for Trump. She works for Putin directly.

Juxtaposition.
The UK government might be brought down by the Epstein files. We're now even talking of the Mandelson files.
But the us president - a self confessed sex predator and named extensively in the Epstein files - wants everyone to move on and the US right will let him.

If ICE agents didn't wear masks, they would be FAMOUS for all the wrong reasons. So if you wanna see mass resignations, prevent them from wearing masks.
That said, abolishing ICE is the only way to truly prevent more violence, harm and murder.

The @washingtonpost.com ending its Books section is so sad. My first book was reviewed there, and while the review was by far the least positive one that book got, I cherished it because its my local paper and I’ve always dreamed of having a book reviewed there. I was hopeful about this one.
