The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.
It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!

Weren't they JUST talking about how they're gonna crack down on all that christian oppression? This seems like the opposite of that... 🤔

No reason at all to do this besides hate
NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
![This case concerns an Executive Branch policy requiring
all new passports to display an individual’s biological sex at
birth. The United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts preliminarily enjoined the Government
from enforcing the policy, and the First Circuit declined to
stay the injunction pending appeal. The Government then
filed this stay application. Applying our familiar stay fac-
tors at this preliminary stage, we grant the application.
Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends
equal protection principles than displaying their country of
birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to
a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential
treatment. And on this record, respondents have failed to
establish that the Government’s choice to display biological
sex “lack[s] any purpose other than a bare . . . desire to
harm a politically unpopular group.” Trump v. Hawaii, 585
U. S. 667, 705 (2018) (internal quotation marks omitted).
Nor are respondents likely to prevail in arguing that the
State Department acted arbitrarily and capriciously by de-
clining to depart from Presidential rules that Congress ex-
pressly required it to follow. See 22 U. S. C. §211a.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreiacrtgoecxjy5y7ojz7xzbun4c4nwutjcvqn4qb4p25ldpt6va5lu@jpeg)

This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.

If you’re reading this snd preparing to ask “would you sacrifice a presidential win for trans rights,” I’ll save you some time: yes the fuck I would.
Fascism in blue is still fascism and we should be clear that an anti-trans candidate is a fascist candidate.

The "oh you won't compromise and abandon [marginalized group]? enjoy the nazi takeover!" argument rings pretty fucking false when you consider that the horrors of a nazi takeover begin with the abandonment of marginalized groups.

Wait, I thought "death panels" were bad? Then, the "pro-life" crowd told grandparents to sacrifice themselves for the good of the economy during Covid, and now we're murdering people to harvest their organs? What in the fascist fuck is this nonsense?!?
Heads up, nerds, dystopia was progressing too slowly so now we're doing "Parts: The Clonus Horror" and/or Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go" (which is Kazuo Ishiguro's "Parts: The Clonus Horror")
Given the current political climate in the US, this seems like a very scary prospect. Yikes. No. Just, no.
