Every time I say I'm shocked by this administration and its enablers, I rebuke myself for being shockable.
But honestly, they keep finding new ways to be despicable.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

The frequency with which this is happening is so bleak and depressing. Knowing a book has no AI before beginning it, and paying for it, and spending time on it, shouldn’t be a guessing game.

Trump didn’t just meet the 14-year-old child Epstein was abusing--he put her in his beauty pageant. The dump of Epstein documents has raised questions about Epstein introducing Trump to a 14 year old victim in 1994. But Trump did worse than remain silent deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-didn...

Did Trump create a pipeline between the pageant and Epstein?

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

hi, cis folks!
this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers.
they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both.

a sequel:
cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.
1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
