Marimar Martinez is a hero.

She was shot 5 times by ICE.

The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire.

He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”.

DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her.

Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

Idaho Rep. Stephanie Mickelsen is a potato farmer, and her support of immigrant workers put her at odds with Republican leadership.

As Trump moved the party even further right, the fight got personal. ICE raided her farm.

Her story on the next Reveal:
The Trump administration’s policies are disrupting and dividing communities. We visit three of them.
From farm country to cities and even Native American reservations, communities are being shaped (and divided) by Trump administration policies.

We live in a time when the government loosens nuclear safety regulations while cracking down hard on use of artificial dyes in food.
The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules
The rewrite was done to speed up the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors. Critics warn it could compromise safety and public trust.

"Race and gender ideology" are not real things. You are a free and independent newspaper owned by kajillionaires, you do not have to parrot the made-up, legally undefined phrasing of a fascist authoritarian regime.

ICE will respond by requiring all non-citizens to wear special badges, perhaps in a unique shape and color so everyone can recognize who's who in the streets.

An entire political movement founded on uncovering hidden messages in documents to discover the powerful secret pedophiles and meanwhile the powerful pedophiles out here sending gmails saying "Hi fellow pedophile when are we meeting to do pedophilia again"
Disgusting.

In an email on Sept. 11, 2013, Mr. Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, wrote to Mr. Epstein, “It was really nice seeing you yesterday.” He added: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!”

I always tell students that university is a rare opportunity to study things that are interesting rather than useful.
The five classes trend is fun to see the value of liberal arts education.

You can see that the most meaningful/impactful classes for folks typically don’t have anything to do with basic training for some job.

We're told that power wealth & fame are the ultimate aphrodisiacs. But the Epstein files show they also stunt emotional maturity and infantilize the men who possess them.

And it's no coincidence these men took to victimizing girls at a time when women became their co-equals in other spheres.
It is very reminiscent of locker rooms, trading floors, & fraternities I have seen, where regardless of their wealth or talent, men defer to the guy they perceive as having the greatest capacity for seduction. Being able to manipulate women is regarded as the highest form of intelligence.

This. Beyond a certain threshold, money exists primarily as power. Power to sway markets. Power to set policy. And power to get away with doing whatever the hell you want.
Years ago, a friend asked me why billionaires want MORE money when they could never spend the tiniest fraction of what they have.

My answer is that they want immunity. The immunity to do literally any horrific they want without consequence.

Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind.
