The entire 119 page grand jury document in the Epstein files is redacted.
It’s just pages upon pages of black boxes.
Never forget that when Epstein was asked under oath about Donald Trump, he chose to plead the fifth.
Keep demanding the full and unredacted files.

You know what? To hell with being circumspect.
@sfwa.org is saying it’s perfectly fine to use the plagiarism machine *”trained” on work stolen from its dues-paying members* to qualify for a Nebula, and that it in fact encourages doing so.
This is utterly shameful.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

The more I think about it, the more I reckon the 2003 Iraq War began the process that let Trump win. The blatant lies we were told by our governments, the disregard for public opinion and mockery of international law created a rupture that never healed. Trust, consent and cohesion were smashed.🧵 1/3

The kids public primary school is 35ºC inside for the final assembly.
Meanwhile the Federal Government has been pouring literally millions and millions into private school up the road so they can build a second music room.
But not an extra cent for us.

Lots of people aren’t ’digital first’: elderly, many people with disabilities, CALD communities. I love using online services, but I believe policy should meet communities where they’re at, not just serve a mainly rich white demographic. Gvt payment platform should always accept all legal tender
