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.

On top of fooling the Trump Administration into agreeing to his Peace Proposal for Ukraine, Putin has also proposed a Peace Plan to end the U.S. Venezuela war. Trump has scheduled a Press Conference to announce the U.S. surrender for 3pm this afternoon.

Commentary: The right-wing
media apparatus is again whipping up a torrent of vitriol against the Somali community with shoddy vulture journalism and racist social media rhetoric. It's all piped straight to the White House, with real consequences. minnesotareformer.com/2025/11/25/r...

Right-wing reporting on Somali money going to al-Shabaab is not new, still misses the mark • Minnesota Reformer
Thorpe and Rufo’s vulture journalism provides an opening to those who seek to dismiss the problem of fraud in Minnesota as right-wing demagoguery.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Khanna: "There should be no buildings named after people in this Epstein class. There should be no scholarships named after them. They shouldn't be enjoying perks of being affiliated w/ corporations or universities. Many of the survivors will tell you some of these people still are celebrated"

Riding the high of Trump's latest tax cuts, corporations are seeing record profits and will make over $1.1T in stock buybacks this year — an all-time high.
Meanwhile, layoffs have totaled 1.1M so far in 2025 — the highest level since the pandemic.

Do you now understand why I push @govpritzker.illinois.gov to take control of state and local pd as State Commander in Chief through emergency authority? He is endorsing all their actions. Either he will protect you or he will serve a tyrant against you. Greg Abbott acts first and litigates later.
