The coverage of the Epstein file relief by @nicollewallace.bsky.social was empathetic, caring and pointed, supportive of the victims and aghast at the approach DOJ is taking. Well done.

I expected Trump to hide his crimes in the Trump-Epstein Files with a scalpel, so we could endless debate if he truly released the un-redacted files: FACT TRUMP HAD TO TAKE A CHAINSAW TO THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES TO RELEASE THEM WITHOUT INCRIMINATING HIMSELF MEANS HE MUST BE HIDING A LOT OF CRIMES

Statement from Maria Farmer: “This is amazing. Thank you for believing me. I feel redeemed. This is one of the best days of my life. Of course, it's mixed with the fact that I'm devastated about all the other little girls like Virginia who were harmed because the FBI didn't do their job. 1/
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.

Khanna: Congress is talking about possible impeachment. They're talking about inherent contempt for the attorney general or deputy attorney general—any justice department official who has obstructed justice could face prosecution in this administration or a future administration.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Gonna stop looking at the Epstein Files in a second because I'm frankly way too skeeved out to keep going but I will say this: the CSAM isn't blacked out nearly enough while the faces of guys in ties are obscured by vanta black rectangles the size of the sun.

It’s possible that they didn’t think of this and also possible that they did and want it to happen or don’t care. The one foreign policy issue these people claimed to care about was communist China but they have essentially given up — it’s all too hard for them.
so a thing just occurred to me. a downside of declaring a blockade against venezuela is it makes it easier for other large powers in different parts of the world, say asia, to blockade, say for instance democratic islands, and cloak it as lawful
