For ppl who may not know the history of policing in the US plz take a few minutes to read the NAACP’s page on the subject.

“The origins of modern-day policing can be traced back to the "Slave Patrol."”

Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor was told by her record label to look more feminine, which she not only ignored but rebelled against. She later wrote an open letter to Miley Cyrus warning of the misogynistic manipulation of women by the music industry #Womensart

They can play games. They can delay and make excuses and look for legal technicalities and continue to try to spin.

But when this ⤵️⤵️ is on Monday Night Football ...

It's too late. The political realities are etched in stone.

The truth is already here.
The truth will have its day.

That day is now.

Release all the Epstein files.

If Trump is now suddenly in favor of releasing the Epstein Files, he could order his administration to release every single one of them right now.

Why isn’t he doing so? www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Q: Why are you creating a new religion?

Bryan Johnson: “We’re in this new phase where we’re trying to reimagine what it means to be human. Religions have proven, over the past several thousand years, to be the most efficacious form to organize human efforts. It’s just a tried-and-true methodology.”

"The fact that JD Vance has openly cited Curtis Yarvin as an inspiration and that Thiel is the person most responsible for creating Vance as a politician should be viewed as a national emergency."

We need to talk about JD
Not nearly enough news coverage has focused on JD Vance's influences and his extreme views.

And to clarify, I'm thinking particularly of elected officials here, some of whom have already gotten twitchy, and all of whom will eventually have to answer to constituents.

I'm not sure that anything more concrete needs to be found in order for the files to give people who might be looking for an excuse to walk away from Trump a way to do so. His attempts to cover up and lash out over Epstein make the connection look nasty, whether or not there's any "new" crime there.
