Today I am thankful for the people who are standing up, the ones who refuse to be silent, the ones who remember that empathy is a strength and a virtue, not a sin.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

Listening to the news detailing the regime’s various illegal abuses and outrages, periodically interrupted by cheery Christmas-themed ad breaks.
This is the kind of jarring dissonance that movie directors in the 20th would have used to signal the characters were living in a dystopian nightmare.

This is the kind of foreign policy you can expect when you put a combination of incompetents, sycophants, and actual Russian assets in charge.
So the US was aware that the world thought the document was US endorsed, yet waited until now to clarify that it wasn't?
How could the US have communicated to Ukraine that they had to accept the proposal or lose US support without clarifying that the Russian proposal wasn't actually their proposal?

“Continuing Fed Investigations” is almost certainly the loophole they will use. But every DOJ official that agrees to sham investigations as a cover is playing with fire.
The bill forces the release within 30 days of all files & communications related to Epstein. It allows the DOJ to redact information about the victims or continuing fed investigations, but not info due to "embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity." www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...
