To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

Understandably, Americans the past 1-10 years (depending) have been anticipating a "Sir, have you no decency?" turning point, but instead we get the purgatory of "Well, p*d0philia is bad when the LEFT does it --- and they should face MAXIMUM PENALTIES for that --- but it's simply Not So Bad when..."

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50.

I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman.

“Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation ever studied.”

Important work from @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social that offers a clear explanation of why there is an intense push to change school curricula to make them more white supremacist

The Shocking Truth About Gen Z Voters Is That They’re Pretty Great
Stop panicking: They are the most progressive generation ever, especially on race. If that surprises you, you’ve been listening to the wrong story.

Classic. Create a problem by introducing severe cuts to housing. Have a solution on the ready by using existing/new detention infrastructure.

We saw how quickly the regime built these prisons/internment camps. Why spend $ on housing when you can tap into cheap/free labor.
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

Plutôt Trump que Mamdani, plutôt le fascisme et le racisme qu’un socialisme progressiste : un bon nombre de

Cette séquence est folle ! 🤦🏾‍♂️
En plus de défendre son programme, Manuel Bompard doit faire du fact-checking ce midi, car cette journaliste est soit incompétente, soit malhonnête à propos de Mamdani !

RIP le journalisme !

“Instead, what you get is a piece making the various more or less bovine noises of studious grey-lady impartiality, with the labor of anything resembling “appraisal” surgically excised.”

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The Heritage Foundation believes that recognizing the contributions of all-Black units of the US military is DEI & therefore should be stripped from US history.

Black history isn’t solely what is in mainstream history books. It’s in the stories we tell, our songs, art, etc. and community museums.
4/ One of those roles was burying the dead, a highly traumatic duty as many of the bodies were severely mutilated. The cemetery was constructed by the 960th Quartermaster Service Company, an all-Black unit of 260 men under the command of a White officer (as was usual).

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.
