Music lover of all things Brit Rock 🎧 My very first date was seeing Bowie's Ziggy Stardust US Kickoff concert at Music Hall. It was life affirming as a freshman in high school. Proud compassionate liberal. Beyond concerned for this democratic republic.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

I’ve made a copy of the 60 Minutes INSIDE CECOT segment. If Substack takes it down, I’ll put it up on my website. I know there are cleaner copies out there, but I kinda like the punk rock bootlegged version. The link is in my pinned post if you haven’t seen it yet.

Felon autocrat Trump and his buddies are engineering state-run media, turning the U.S. into the next North Korea or Russia. CBS should be ashamed for making themselves complicit in this destruction of democracy.

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

WOW. They're not going to air their special on CECOT. I'd like to know who made this decision, and whether the federal government had a hand in it.

Basically, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States taking the 5th on national TV to avoid answering why he did one of the most disgusting things any DOJ official has ever done in US history.

Kristi Noem claimed a few months ago that they arrested the girlfriend of the leader of Antifa and that was going to lead to the prosecution of the entire “organization.” What happened with that? Any updates?

Bennie Thompson on Noem: "Her arrival was short lived. She left in the middle of the hearing ostensibly to go to another meeting. We found that the meeting had been canceled, so she could've stayed. But nonetheless, we're not surprised, because this is who she is."

Canada is figuring out what to do with its stockpiles of US alcohol. I suggest they save it, and give it away for free, for the global party coming up soon.

In the last few weeks, I’ve become increasingly convinced that Trump and his regime are totally cooked.
They can only stay in power by stealing elections—but they can only do that if enough people are willing to help them.
They’re in a downward spiral and can’t pull themselves out of it.
