There are now several criminal investigations in Europe due to the Epstein files. Of note; no investigations concern sexual crimes.

The takeaway is that rich powerful men can get away with abusing women and girls, the line is drawn only if they interfere with other powerful interests.

Pretending the rise of the far right and the focus on issues such as immigration or trans people comes from the "legitimate concerns" of "the people" is not just factually wrong, it's a deeply political point

Refusing to see this as primarily top down processes is to protect the status quo

UCLA said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is backing off.

Harvard said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is left sputtering.

Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern giving in was a big mistake. If only there were lessons against appeasing fascists.
This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.

The Trump admin has given up its appeal of a powerful injunction:

Ongelooflijk. Echt ongelooflijk. Als er Nederlanders afreizen naar het kalifaat is het land te klein. En terecht. En nu? Nu ze meedoen aan genocide? Niet een handjevol, maar honderden!
Uit dezelfde data blijkt dat er bijna 650 soldaten in het IDF hebben gediend tijdens de genocide in Gaza met de Nederlandse nationaliteit.

Yet more extortion from the criminal regime in the US.

Further signs of the nearing collapse of the Russian economy. Near record debts and this time with very restricted trade and having already burned a lot of state reserves/gold.

And remember, these official figures may well be massaged by the Kremlin.

In case you are wondering what kind of "consulting work" the Ohio State head of gynecology would do for a childless couple, yeah, me too.

Epstein payed $25,000 every quarter to Mark Landon, a physician and professor at OSU and chair of the obstetrics and gynecology department.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Power hungry thugs hired by the criminal cabal that pretends to be a government.

ICE / Border patrol agents later joked they "shot 5 times and she had 7 holes" 🤮
Marimar Martinez was shot by Border Patrol five times.

DHS accused her of being a domestic terrorist.

She went to court to get the body cam footage released.

It shows Agent Charles Exum driving with his gun drawn.

Saying “do something b*tch”.

Ramming her car.

Shooting her.

It shows DHS lied.
