BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files.
As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed.
Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

Your regular reminder that most people in this country can't afford to move to another state and the inclination to say they're getting what they voted for in the devastation of a hurricane or flood or whatever the hell is a failure of common sense and empathy on multiple levels.

Abrego said he shared a cell with 20 people, who were forced to kneel overnight, “with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion.”
He was denied bathroom access and soiled himself. Detainees were confined to metal bunks w/no mattresses in an overcrowded cell w/no windows, bright lights…
