As usual, @sorayachemaly.bsky.social cuts through the noise and tells us like it is: "DARVO, in the Epstein case, has consistently made victims the face of the crimes and ensured that the network that enabled Epstein remains an abstract force." www.damemagazine.com/2026/02/12/i...

The Emotional Toll of Living With Institutional Betrayal - Dame Magazine

What happens to us when institutions protect power instead of people? From Epstein to ICE, institutional betrayal is inflicting trauma and moral injury.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

How to Film ICE

Filming federal agents in public is legal, but avoiding a dangerous—even deadly—confrontation isn’t guaranteed. Here’s how to record ICE and CBP agents as safely as possible and have an impact.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Worried about falling birthrates? Apparently many Americans are. Here are some policy solutions: (1) make childcare affordable and (2) create Medicare for all. One of the reasons people don't have kids is that they are afraid they can't afford them. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Why are so many Americans worried about falling birth rates?

The 19th News/SurveyMonkey Poll found that half of Americans think we should be at least somewhat worried about the impact of falling birth rates on society.

“Their rhetoric — and the conventional wisdom that flows from it — suggests that we cannot talk about economic solutions without abandoning our commitment to the Black, Latino, gay, transgender and female poor that are the lifeblood of the Democratic Party’s base.”

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
