Today, we're learning why DOJ didn't release the redacted files last March. Because the multitude of redactions exposes how much they're covering up.

Man is entirely unhinged. Nevertheless, politicians, former presidents, media, and anyone of influence remain silent on a grave issue merely regarded as eccentric conduct. This is not simply an idiosyncrasy, and the assertions made by Vought and Miller are profoundly unsettling.

For what it's worth, the human rights violations being committed by our current administration are only seen at the tips of the various icebergs, of which there are many.
Brace yourselves for what we find when they are no longer in control.

This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.
