HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Universal Basic Income is automatic, unconditional, paperwork-free insurance we can actually use. It's always there—before, during, and after uncontrollable shocks occur. It's a non-withdrawable stable floor for a stable society. Want certainty? UBI delivers it; same amount, same date, every month.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
