Before joining the DOJ, Harmeet Dhillon was an outspoken advocate for state supremacy over elections.

Now, in a complete 180, she’s leading the federal government’s unprecedented campaign forcing states to hand over millions of voters’ private information.

Jack Smith offered to testify publicly about Trump—House Republicans are forcing it behind closed doors

Transparency isn’t optional when the rule of law is at stake👇 - TN www.ms.now/opinion/jack...
Opinion | I'm Trump's former lawyer. Jack Smith should be celebrated, not vilified.
John Dowd: Jack Smith was once my adversary in a high-profile investigation of a Republican client. Smith was fair, impartial and fearlessly committed to the facts and the law.

Hey, a reminder that eugenics is the modus operandi of this regime.

You wanna let your Senators know what you think of this. ASAP. 202-224-3121.
Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

More please. More celebrities need to take a stand. Silence is violence. Silence is complicity. There is NO SAFETY you can secure for yourself by shrinking back and staying silent in the face of advancing authoritarianism.
"While I have been concerned about WWE‘s close relationship w/ Donald Trump... especially in light of his [regime's] ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants... reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me."

Media scholar Mia Moody-Ramirez told Axios the shift Reid is making reflects a broader structural collapse in legacy media. She said Black journalists who were once pushed out of mainstream outlets are now thriving independently.

We should all be aware that this is the same tactic they may use in the midterms: claim the results are fake, evidence doesn't matter, they decide what is and isn't real (a birth certificate or an election result) and then try to do what they want. We must anticipate this shit and plan accordingly.

Dark $, foreign $ out of our politics. We the people have power in the primary to make that happen. These folks who are run by dark $ will never work for campaign finance reform. Their palms are greased, their pockets lined. We deserve representation in govt for the American people, not Israel.
Here you go, majority. Primary these folks. We all deserve better.

I saw reporting out yesterday that Schumer and Durbin won't try for a shutdown in Jan bc they accomplished their goal of "raising awareness about healthcare costs" in the last on. Dem leadership are complicit or inept or both. We need to kick them to the curb. ASAP.

As 2025 draws to a close, the grief of this year, the opportunity cost, are hitting home. In particular, the way we have been denied time and space to do any grieving at all. What would it look like if we were able to grieve? How would we be changed by being able to process so much loss?
I was going to write an entirely different post.
In the race to stop fascism, grief still demands to be felt.

They're going to make us read this shit doc by doc. Like in the days in 1999 when I had to sit in a warehouse outside of St. Louis looking at 750,000 pages by hand.
So I'm searching the newly released files from the DOJ. There is a note that says some docs aren't searchable due to handwriting, but I know from OCR experience that's not how this works.

Also, there are already errors in the search functionality and they are significant.

I'm in a tranche of photos that appear to be from inside one of Epstein's houses.

They did not de-dupe this, so there's a lot of duplication.

These are the tactics used by people trying to slow down a document review to hide the good stuff.

Here's my running thread of what I've found so far in the Epstein files.
HOWEVER.

Side note: the photo on the left appears to be a dupe of the one Epstein had on his desk in the prior released photos of him and Bannon at his desk.

I encourage people posting to stay mindful of the fact that countless real little girls and young women were horribly victimized by the Epstein network—and there are also MANY other survivors reading what is written here.

Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun.
