Imagine waking up and going to work and being paid to redact the name of a powerful pedophile so that the stuff that implicates him as a rapist of children doesn’t see the light of day and not eating the barrel of a gun
Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

From my anecdotal experience, this is absolutely true
Police have access to massive surveillance networks that track the public whether they are suspects or not. That means probably for every 1 officer caught using the system to harass or spy on people they have feuds with, ex's, activists, journalists, there are probably 100 more we don't know about.

Pretty sure this is because Ankara is delusional about this, and honestly about the whole "peace process". Ocalan loves Rojava/DAANES, I'll eat my hat if he gives ground on it.
"Ankara had long hoped it could persuade Ocalan to use his influence over the SDF to scale down their autonomy demands and disarm and disband along with the PKK. But yesterday’s meeting suggests that Ocalan is refusing to give much ground"

Trump’s base is crammed with America Firsters who claim to hate the way the US has interfered with the internal politics of other countries. This was one justification for cutting USAID and other forms of soft power. But when Trump crimes with his dictator buddy in Brazil, there will be crickets.
Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
