Everything is normal and fine. There is no fire. Except there is and it is raging. Do something oh, Congress. Do somehing, oh media.
Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

just a reminder that the united states is essentially operating a network of torture camps holding individuals in arbitrary detention, without access to appeal and rarely to counsel.

US politicians just seem to bedrock believe that americans care about absolutely nothing except their own selfish interests, and that appealing to their sense of decency ever in any way is a losing proposition and you should never do it.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

🎯 Time for a real paradigm shift.
The reason so many so-called "centrist" Dems immediately started saying that Mamdani's success in NYC couldn't be duplicated elsewhere was because they are deathly afraid it will be. Authenticity, humor, youth, believability as a change agent, intelligence, ideas that help people--that's the ticket.

A long time ago Hank William Jr. wrote an anti-liberal screed. But now it's about what Trump and his circle of friends are doing to the country ... The chorus goes.... "Stop rollin' downhill like a fireball headed for Hell/With no kind of chance for the flag or the Liberty Bell...."

So tired of reading one outrage afer another. The Genocide will not be televised, but it will be on social media. Cut the aid to Israel.
Israel continues to target Palestinian athletes without any condemnation from the international sporting community.

Not a peep from FIFA or the IOC.
Israel has killed Palestinian national team star Suleiman al-Obeid while waiting for aid in Rafah.

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”

Everything about this story is horrific:

1. The student never mentions Jews
2. The university is going to expel a student for criticizing a country over genocide
3. A Republican congressman is taking credit and implying the student is a Muslim terrorist
4. The U.S. Justice Department is involved
The DOJ says it will investigate a US citizen for saying “fuck Isr**l” to a guy in an IDF shirt.

Absolutely the most anti-free speech admin of my lifetime. Probably since the Red Scare, if not earlier.

Hey Dylan People. Please come to my talk on the writing of Brownsville Girl this Thursday at 4 pm at the Dylan conference in Tulsa. Based on both the Dylan and Shepard drafts, there are a lot of surprises you'll definitely want to see. Can't wait!
