From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

My friend @drannieandrews.com will be Lindsey Graham's opponent.
She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.

The Epstein case against Trump is as if everyone is looking at a 500 piece puzzle with 2 pieces missing and pretending they can't make out the picture for certain.

They hit Pomona hard today. Across the Southland they are kidnapping 60+ people every week from bus stops, grocery stores, or just off the street. They took a flower seller today.

First of all, a 15-year-old is not "barely legal." The age of consent in Florida is 18. So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape.

Megyn Kelly is VILE trash for saying otherwise.

And Megyn Kelly is confessing to having insider information about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to but stayed silent.

Megyn Kelly said she thinks “there’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

The only reason we know anything about the Epstein files is because the survivors refused to give up.

This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.

I think this is it. In my limited experience being around very rich people I’m always surprised about how much they suck up to each other. Way beyond being polite and friendly, and in high contrast to the way many of them are really shitty to people they have no need for.

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.
"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Things to know about Epstein hugger Ken Starr: prosecuted Bill Clinton for lying about consensual (if inappropriate) sex, got fired from Baylor University for doing nothing about an on-campus rape epidemic.
Republican legal icon and Clinton scourge Ken Starr signs off a touching note to Jeffrey Epstein with "hugs." Amazing.

There was smugness by these Atlas/Advance propagandists over the fact that the law, shamefully, does not mandate them to disclose.
