So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas?

It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

It was less than 10 years ago that this was considered impossible. And from what I read there wasn't much dissent. Everyone accepted this was the reality. Time to update some assumptions.

New FBI docs reveal the agency destroyed its master copy of the Epstein jail surveillance video—then scrambled to reconstruct it, releasing footage with a missing minute. DOJ later blamed a “nightly reset,” but experts called that implausible.

WHY was key evidence destroyed in the first place? 1/2

Former Norwegian Prime Minister and ex-Council of Europe Secretary General, Thorbjørn Jagland, is currently the subject of an official investigation related to his past contacts with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
