I saw that today marks the start of Ramadan, Mardi Gras, and Lunar New Year. That means like HALF of the world is celebrating
Things have generally been feeling progressively bleaker and heavier, so hopefully we can all grab some good vibes today while they’re free flowing💖

One thing that's important to realize now is that, even in a scenario where Dems sweep to a crushing trifecta in 2028, Republicans will use their control of the courts to attempt to continue, as much as they can, to run executive agencies in exile, with DHS/ICE under Biden as the model

One of these companies is Toka, which offers products that hack into specific vehicles to harvest real time location data, as well as onboard camera and even microphone feeds.
Toka was co-founded by Epstein confidant/partner and former Israeli PM Ehud Barak.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

![Nowak maintained a close personal and financial relationship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. 35.
In response to the revelations of Epstein's support of Nowak and his lab (the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics), Nowak was suspended from supervising undergraduate research for two years, and the institute was permanently closed. 36][37! Harvard's review, leading
to the suspension, uncovered that Epstein had maintained access to a personal office in Nowak's lab for 9 years, even after his conviction for sex crimes, and used the office over 40 times,
"typically accompanied by young
women serving as his assistants". 38!
In 2023, Harvard lifted the sanctions against Nowak, and he remains on the faculty, jointly appointed in the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tuzu6oa5zwocb7nscwxvmlif/bafkreiclylorfrsolhpoojrzlzov3xe3nlyojtk5ff7q4v4mkwa4t7ydda@jpeg)

yeah anyone who thinks this is a great idea wants a five year old victim to have to choose if they want their relative to die
As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.
