We are in the maelstrom of a multi-century struggle for this nation. If we don’t understand that, then we will fail to understand what’s at stake.
And we will under-react to the danger of this moment. That is why we need to know how history brings us here.

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.

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.

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.
Release the files. Immediately.

I’ve previously called out the Small Business Administration for flying the Appeal to Heaven flag–a symbol of white Christian nationalism favored by January 6 insurrectionists. Now, a high-ranking Department of Education official has it outside his office. Unacceptable. Take it down.

Yet another excellent courtroom exhibit.
Here is a map of the affected countries (excluding Tonga), to give you a sense of how much this new ban restricts immigration from Africa in particular.
Of the newly-added country, Nigeria faces the largest impact, with tens of thousands of visas issued every year to Nigerians.
