We’ve been here before — not quite at the scale of the Epstein damage but the elites involved skated. The craziest part of this is that the guy who wrote the book on this scandal, Sen.John W Decamp, picked my friend and me hitchhiking, then tried to rape her after buying us beer. We were 13 & 14.
Patterns Between Franklin and Epstein Scandals
For decades, Alisha Owen avoided revisiting Franklin in public. But as the Epstein scandal unfolded, Owen and others began to recognize a pattern. Not new facts, she said, but familiar methods.

Minneapolis residents are facing a growing food crisis. Fear from ICE is keeping families—especially elders, parents, and the homebound from groceries.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

I testified Friday before Gov. Pritzker's commission studying abuses of ICE and CBP and tried to explain how the agencies went so far off track. It's actually way worse than I ever realized. Please read and share my testimony as Congress considers reform: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

They put greed and money over their own kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews. Kids are just trophies to them.
The Trump regime has been a danger to our democracy since his inauguration. Now he and his lackeys are a danger to the whole fucking planet.

This is an excellent tutorial on what should be ICE’s only job—aiding glide, grip and directional torque.
As I get ready for another cozy weekend of Olympics watching, I'm seeing lots of chatter about ice quality for different sports. As a Minnesotan and a science journalist, just wanted to reshare this video about why ice temps matter!
It turns out that not all ice is created equal. Ice rinks are calibrated specifically for different sports, and at the Olympics these sport specifics are tightly controlled by the event’s "ice meisters."

Epstein survivors raised their hands to show they’ve been ignored by Donald Trump’s DOJ. Pam Bondi refused to turn around and look at them.
She is soulless. She’s pure evil. She’s a vile sociopath.
