INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE

This could’ve been avoided 30 years ago.

Maria Farmer’s 1996 FBI complaint has been unearthed in the Epstein files. It was the first time he was reported to the authorities. And they buried it.

“If the FBI had listened to me in 1996, there would’ve been no more victims.”

You’ll recall I told you that if Bondi violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act, it would trigger a lawsuit. That’s what Schumer’s resolution does. It directs the Senate Majority Leader to file federal civil action against the government over failure to release the Epstein files. 1/

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Trump rebrands Congressionally-approved troop housing subsidy as ‘warrior dividend’ bonus
More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now it’s being used for $1,776 checks.

$1776
Seriously, Naranja?!?!?

A war bonus for troops?

Pay them well and skip the bonus. Give them comprehensive healthcare during and after their service and skip the bonus.

A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE.

You noticed it too, right?

The minute Jasmine Crockett, a fierce fighter against fascism, announced her run for the Senate, the never-Kamala trolls came out in force.

Never that same heat for Trump, who wants to export Palestinians from Gaza and turn it into a resort. Literally ethnic cleansing.

The sky above Kyiv is calm and peaceful. But Ukrainians know how quickly silence can be broken by the sound of air raid sirens; how this beautiful sky becomes a pathway for russian drones and missiles.

Help protect the sky above Ukraine:

“Why did you punch me?”
“A mosquito was on you.”

Not okay btwn siblings and not okay btwn countries.

Military strikes against mosquitoes or drug runners is an overreach, an abuse of power, and a declaration of war. Unprovoked war.

Question:
If detained by ICE, am I obligated to give them my phone?

Logic says no
Instinct says no
Their abuse says no
But what does the law say?
Seems like they would need a warrant (yes, I know they would need one to detain me)

If they take it off my person, can they be charge with theft?

The Repayment Assistance Plan removed many professions from the designation of professional when reviewing lending caps.
Nursing, PA, PT, & audiology are excluded from the updated list. Others not considered professional include architecture, accounting, & mental health.
Still included? Theology.

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.
