Should I do what Charlie Kirk wanted, and not give a damn about his death? Or should I care—thus rejecting and negating his whole disgusting shtick?

There's an impeachment resolution against this guy in the House but it's not being talked about very much because "This lunatic is trying to kill your children" isn't a compelling enough political message I guess

If evidence has been destroyed, juries are instructed that they can assume that evidence would have shown the defendant's guilt.
The Trump administration releasing only a portion of the Epstein files, and blacking out so much text in the files they did release, is clear evidence of Trump's guilt.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

When survivors reacted to this so-called Epstein Files transparency, they didn’t sound shocked. They sounded validated.

Because even with a law, even with a deadline, even with the entire country watching, this pedocracy behaved exactly the way it always has.

So let me get this right.

The Epstein delays and redactions have been made in order to avoid exposing victims or compromising active criminal investigations. Trump's name has not featured yet.

Is that because he's an Epstein victim, or…

Saw how much cat scratching posts cost in the pet shop (ouch!!) and opted to make one myself. I like the organic look of a branch from my garden much more than the "standard tube" that pet shops go for. User feedback, five minutes in, has been good. 🐆

Trump’s refusal to release the Epstein files in full is a clear sign of non-compliance with Congress’ orders.

Even if he isn’t in the files (he is), he’s doing a bang-up job of hiding the bad actors who are.

Many followers have unanimously voted to rename the Epstein files the Trump-Epstein files…

The thing we need to take away from Epstein is that people with more power need to be MORE subject to the law than the average Joe, rather than less.

Presidents, billionaires, and cops should go to jail and lose everything for even the APPEARANCE of impropriety of any sort.

Well colour me staggered.
Breaking: The Trump administration announces that they will not be complying with today’s deadline to release the full Epstein Files.

They insist the files will be released in the next “couple weeks.”

Reps. Garcia and Raskin on the Trump DOJ not producing all of the Epstein files, as required by law:

"Courts around the country have repeatedly intervened when this Administration has broken the law. We are now examining all legal options in the face of this violation of federal law."

Actually quite impressed by guesses 2 and 3! They may seem to have achieved little, but the letters I discounted made the answer inevitable.

I saw it happen on X. Now, I'm seeing propaganda accounts spread here.

Even if you agree with them, don't follow accounts that aren't driven by a real person.

The MO is to pack your follower list with phonies, THEN invert their politics, giving the false impression that public opinion has changed.

What I think is so cool about the TTRPG scene is its DIY character.

Yet, so many people seem to want to throw that away.

Instead of making your own entertainment, they want to make our entertainment. They characterise TTRPGs as "content". They're not content, they're a participatory experience!

I quote Trump’s post in full not only because it must be read to be believed, but also because it captures the combination of preposterous grandiosity, obsessive self-regard and gratuitous spite that “deranged” the Reiners and so many other Americans trying to hold on to a sense of national decency.

Just saw a journalist post something with a picture, and criticise it, with comments turned of and quotes turned off.

It is not normal behaviour to spend time and effort highlighting things you don't like, without inviting discussion.

Yet, it's clearly behaviour that social media encourages.

It continues to be of interest what Emoji there aren't. It's not obvious, but Emoji constitute a politicised, corporate language form which users are determined to subvert.

It's poorer for eliding images that express challenging or resistant ideas, but that sparks creative usage.
