The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

She threatened Fauci with death, Democrats with death, basically anyone who disagrees with her. I have no sympathy and no shits to give MTG.
I am legitimately not happy that MTG is getting death threats, and I also have to triage my concern and empathy these days so unfortunately there are a lot of people ahead of her in line and she helped put a lot of them there.

Well, DUH. Trump wanted Chicago to become violent so he could send in the troops. Instead we yelled and chased ICE agents.
Still pissed 600 people were kidnapped by ICE.

ICE has arrested about 600 immigrants in the city of Chicago. You know how many of them have criminal records? Sixteen.
They promised to secure the border and remove anybody who was violent — and they lied.

The Epstein Saga Is Not a Game. It’s About Protecting Women.
Donna Ladd reflects on her own story amid the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein saga of rape, retribution and the protection of sexual predators.

Yes it is. Not legal age means you raped a child.
Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Trump is a liar. Tear gassing kids in peaceful neighborhoods makes no one safer.
He cannot steal credit from our violence prevention and law enforcement efforts that have reduced crime for four years straight — long before his masked agents showed up. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

DHS takes credit for crime being down in Chicago. Data shows that was happening before they arrived.
Immigration officials on Tuesday said a drop in crime numbers was thanks to their work. Police data show the decrease was taking place before federal agents arrived in the city.

This concentration camp was opened at Fort Bliss, the site of a former Japanese internment camp.
It also cost over $1B in private contracts to build in a place meant to hold 1000 people. So, basically it’s a fascist grift.

Hurst has identified 188 Christian and Republican leaders this year, so far, stating, “If MAGA is so upset about Epstein, they should hear about Baptists!”
