Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.

I think it is good actually for a platform to have strict rules against calling for / glorifying / joking about gruesome violence against people.
We can disagree with people—yes, even truly awful, despicable people like the ones currently running the US—without resorting to promoting violence.

These two trees across the street from me are the same type of tree (bigleaf maple, I think), but one has almost completely lost all its leaves while the other still has ~75% of them. Weird.
