I need to start posting non- political stuff here. Yesterday my daughter and I met Sam Heughan at a meet and greet here in Colorado. He was super nice and ofc dreamy.
It was a fun distraction from *everything.*
Look, I'm just going to say that it is very clear to me from these witness accounts from 2019-2021 that the FBI/DOJ was looking at other potential prosecutions even after Epstein was dead.

That's for everyone who is wondering why Biden's DOJ didn't release the files-- DOJ policy prohibited it.
There's just pages and pages and pages of FBI notes in the Epstein files drop of interviews with victims, 10th grade, 11th grade, 15 year olds, just awful awful awful shit.

Disgusting men.
Wherein Woody Allen says to Jeffrey Epstein when he references the ongoing FBI investigation: "you poor thing. It's relentless and never ending."

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

They are arresting people who are documenting their crimes because they know that they are committing crimes and they don’t want the rest of the world to know it.

They see the videos of Alex Pretti’s execution as the problem, rather than his execution.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
This is from Georgia Fort’s video.

DEA?!? Gotta be a “task force.”

I was just saying to Portia that it is a 4th amendment violation. It's driving me nuts that no one is really talking about how unconstitutional it is to be bashing through people's cars and pulling them out through the window
Can we talk legalities for a minute?

Isn’t breaking a car window the same thing as battering down a door?

It’s illegal, right? I feel like I’m going insane because none of the news sources mention this.

They are charging Don Lemon under the FACE act (designed to prevent interference with abortion clinics) and Conspiracy to Deprive Rights (which dates back to the end of slavery, and is also known as the KKK act).

Irony has been beaten to death with a sledgehammer.

Charging a Black journalist under the KKK Act for reporting on a protest is a whole new level of fucked up.

This is well observed.
there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!

Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.

He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.

His health is declining.

Public outrage might save his life.

Say his name:

Before everyone panics, I’m going to say it again: EOs are not laws. They do not change laws. They are essentially little more than a president’s wishes.

Any EOs he signs will be challenged or, to be honest, ignored by the states. Because states control elections, not the president.
New: Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, is leading an administration-wide effort to probe the 2020 election for fraud and regularly briefing Trump and top White House officials on her progress. Officials are discussing EOs on voting ahead of midterms.

I understand that all of us have to live our lives and therefore simply cannot think deeply about the fact that the current fascist President of the United States is deeply unwell.

I do think, however, that it is the JOB of CONGRESS and the CABINET to protect the country FROM HIM. NOW.

Reagan absolutely shaped my generation. I can’t tell you how many convos I’ve had in the last few months about the AIDS crisis and how if you were at all aware you knew your government could kill people en masse without blinking and you would do whatever it took to make sure it never happened again.
I'm pointing this out not to be pedantic, but because the Reagan and the Bush Sr. years were pretty dark and I think that really shaped Gen X.

But coming of age during the Clinton years suggested that life was going to be ok there was hope. I can only speak for myself but

U.S. Rep. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social visited Liam Ramos today — the 5-year-old boy who was used as bait in Minneapolis, then sent to Texas, where is now being held at Dilley Detention Center. Protests have occurred both inside and outside the facility since he arrived.

This is his obsession. He has been a virulent xenophobe since he was in high school. The violence in Minneapolis and around the country by ICE is Steven Miller's doing. He must go. NOW. This is the basic fundamental requirement at this point to stop this.
