Commission Chair Rep. Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe) “said the commission has already heard from survivors who were abused at Epstein’s Zorro ranch near Stanley in Santa Fe County, which sold in 2023.”
The family of Texas Republican Donald Huffines bought the ranch for $13.4 million:

In Central Park, we see coyotes and raccoons, but birding here in Texas is just a little...different. This huuuge gator was sunbathing right next to a pond we've been visiting. It was no more than 40 feet from where I was standing. Yikes! 😮😮😮

George W. Bush would like to help save this country from a president even stupider than he, but is simply too busy creating amateurish paintings on his fake ranch in Texas.

The Texas primary is in two weeks and the most Trump friendly Democrat in the House, Henry Cuellar, has a pair of primary challengers.
If you can, donate your time and money to get him out. Make sure all of your Texan friends & family know how important it is that he is loses.

Interested in getting Henry Cuellar out of office?
He has two primary opponents: Andrew Vantine & Ricardo Villarreal.
If Cuellar wins the primary, the Green Party is running Marlon Duran.
Campaign sites are in the alt text.
Primary is March 3rd

“Public opinion” as a fractal recursion of “the market” (or vice versa) as fetishes that obscure the processes of creation of that which the term ostensibly describes.
Commodity fetishism/Peirceian rhematization kind of and applied to a supposedly free & rational “society”

This whole fight over transgender stuff happening on X is so weird to me. The most notable thing about trans issues in the last 5 years has been the enormous, coordinated anti-trans activism campaign across the right, aided by moral cowards in the center.
But that campaign is *never mentioned*.

This is bad.
“WEXMAC TITUS allows ICE to treat immigration enforcement like a national security operation rather than a standard civil immigration one,” Michael Wriston, a 20-year veteran military analyst who is now a researcher and reporter with @projectsaltbox.bsky.social told me.
For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program

ICE announced they’re going to spend more than $38 billion to detain thousands of more people.
With that amount of money, we could end homelessness, extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies, or provide school lunches to every kid in America.
This is totally unacceptable.

Christian nationalists connected to Hegseth are the official religion of the Department of War. If you want to climb the ladder under Hegseth, you'd better show up at their functions inside the Pentagon.
