Release the Epstein Files. Back on with new account after cancelling larger account. I'm going to protest on here or on the street every damn day. DMs = autoblock.

The human species had a chance maybe 20 to 30 years ago. But it is too slow to move enmasse to change what needed to happen. There were warning signs & modeling 40 years ago. And, while I always imagined it differently, here we are. We are now at crisis adaptation and I'm afraid it is accelerating.

Jane Doe said, “The essential ingredient Epstein needed to expand his sexual abuse of young women and sex trafficking venture was a financial institution that would know — but not care — that Epstein was sexually abusing women on a daily basis & paying out millions in hush money.”

This picture 🤮🤮

Epstein victim accuses Bank of America of assisting sex trafficking operation

The woman says Bank of America failed to report suspicious financial transaction until after Jeffrey Epstein’s death.

Can you imagine Republican reaction if Obama authorized a Muslim country building an air force base in Idaho.
Better yet, can you imagine Republican reaction if Obama obtained a 747-8 from a Muslim country to personally use after his presidency ended.

“Not going to be great” is quite the understatement by Fox here.

Tweet by FactPost (@factpostnews) reading: “Fox: The tariffs, 10% for lumber, 25% for cabinets, vanities, upholstered furniture. On January 1st, the tariff for cabinets and vanities increase to 50%, all the rest of the furniture to 30%. The cost of building materials has increased 34%. There is a concern that this is not going to be great for the home buying industry.” Below is a Fox Business screenshot showing a reporter in a lumber workshop with the headline “New tariffs on furniture & lumber take effect.”

Has anyone asked one of their Republican neighbors what they think of this? I'd be curious what they'd say.

Jeffries: "The effort to mischaracterize the rallies that are gonna take place all across the country is part of the continued right-wing disinformation machine that is failing to persuade the American people."

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

He proves that every day.
But he IS a numerologist.
He fears 218.

This guy was a clerk for Justice Gorsuch. Anyone want to argue this is not a racist (and damn stupid) taunt?

There are so many obvious constitutional violations in this story. It is enraging.
There is no war, there is no foreign invasion, there is nothing that justify it. This is a choice to create a military presence that will brutalize residents of cities that do not support the President.

"The boy, who is Hispanic and African American, was held in a garage for five hours “without informing his family, stating any charges, or allowing him to call an attorney,” the statement said. He is a U.S. citizen, as is his entire immediate family, the release said."
