Stephen Miller can rant all he wants: this truth is out there

CBS News issued no takedown notice for a video posted by a sitting US Senator with potential to demand accountability

24+ hours on, this video 'Inside CECOT' remains online and is likely to become a 'most watched ever' 60 Minutes report
US Senator Cory Booker @booker.senate.gov just posted the spiked CBS News 60 Minutes 'Inside CECOT' report, which was leaked yesterday in Canada

Stephen Miller implies men the US administration sent to CECOT are "gang members who drill holes in people's hands, who rape and murder little girls"

The 60 Minutes CBS News report 'Inside CECOT' has data: only 3.1% of men sent had ever been convicted of a violent or potentially violent offence

Stephen Miller breaks into a big smile when the interviewer mentions the name "CECOT" — the El Salvador prison where people sent by the US administration report having been tortured

Excellent article well worth reading about Drag Queen Christmas in the US

Community strength + inspiring resilience
my first @theguardian.com: I wrote about this year's "Drag Queen Christmas" tour stop in Pensacola, FL, which from the 1950s-70s hosted America's biggest LGBTQ event; the state AG tried to get the "demonic" show canceled.

I talked to Florida drag queens and supporters that refuse to go underground:
A Florida official wants to cancel a sold-out Christmas drag show. The queens are performing anyway
A Drag Queen Christmas, featuring artists from RuPaul’s Drag Race, will stop in Pensacola despite the state attorney general’s efforts to stop it

Newly released note in the Epstein Files appears to be written just before his death to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar:

"Our president also 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"

Susie Wiles said of Pam Bondi and the Epstein Files:

“First she gave them binders full of nothingness. And then she said that the witness list, or the client list, was on her desk. There is no client list, and it sure as hell wasn’t on her desk.”
