Imagine flipping through your alma matter's alumni magazine and coming across a passage that compares you to Roger Taney.
John Roberts won't give a damn, but this is all very funny anyway.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

House votes to force DOJ release of Jeffrey Epstein files
While the vote marks an important step in backers' crusade to get the files released, significant barriers remain.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

Another sign they're moving away from "he's innocent" to "raping young girls isn't a crime." The purpose of this is to imply everyone does it.
The smart reaction from the left, of course, is to say everyone who committed a crime should go to prison.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.
