ICE agents in Lynwood, CA tried to break into a barbershop without a warrant. When the owner refused to open the door, they threatened him: “I’m going to go get your dad and I’m going to get your mom!”

The craziest thing about this Cracker Barrel story is that Donald Trump was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for decades and publicly admitted to trafficking young women to him out of Maralago.

You lessen crime by eliminating poverty.
You lessen crime with universal healthcare, public housing, strong unions, high wages, universal childcare, and free college.
You lessen violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren't fighting over material resources.

I know this has been said by others but it bears repeating, and repeating...
Why are their NO Epstein clients in jail? Apart from Trump there must have been hundreds of other sexual predators and paedophiles involved. Someone, somewhere knows who these people are.

Muslim men who abuse young girls, Roman Catholic priests who abuse boys, nuns who bury babies in mass graves, Jews who slaughter women and children in Gaza, Christian nationalists who carry assault rifles in the street. The brutality and hypocrisy of so many 'religious' people is nauseating.

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg—who famously forced women to sign NDAs to prevent them from disclosing sexual abuse and harassment—just donated $5,000,000 to 11X credibly accused sexual abuser Andrew Cuomo, all in a desperate bid to prevent Mamdani from winning.

The far right will, of course, treat the Paul Doyle case very differently from one where the accused is darker-skinned or foreign or both. The rest of us must not. That’s kind of the point.
