Ghislaine Maxwell invoked the Fifth Amendment during today's Epstein deposition. If you want a victim's account of her crimes, we recommend reading the memoir "Nobody’s Girl" by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

Many U.S. citizens don't know that Puerto Rico is a colony of the United States or that it's not the only one. We recommend reading "How To Hide An Empire: A History of the Greater United States" by Daniel Immerwahr.

Karamo Brown says that he has been bullied by his white Queer Eye co-stars due to bullying. Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon experience for Black people in queer spaces. We recommend reading "The Rainbow Ain’t Never Been Enuf" by Kaila Adia Story, PhD.

Meet David Easterwood, a pastor at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota and the acting Field Office Director for ICE. This dual role led to a protest at his church on Sunday, January 18, 2026, but he wasn't there. Seems like he got the message though.

Read some books about the Black Panther Party before you post that you're interested in joining. That will save you some public embarrassment.
