I’m an amateur watercolor artist, but my primary purpose here is to resist Right Wing politicians. To start, my resistance hero is Rev. Trocme, who led his small mountain village to rescue 5,000 Jews. The book: Lest Innocent Blood Be Shed.

When I teaching the Holocaust I note the Holocaust museum’s definition of a concentration camp is a prison whose inmates are denied due process. These are by definition concentration camps.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.

Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

If you are such a person, please call a lawyer first though. Don’t do this on your own.
Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

As a historian I've looked at hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents. And I just have to say that aside from being obviously illegal and clearly suggestive of some major crime, this “redaction” business is not a position in which serious people or serious governments find themselves
There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

A good example of where AI limitations fall short & would be missed entirely without a human brain doing work, sorting through info, analyzing, finding connections & new insights.

Leaders* (not the bandwagoners obvs) should note this is even more applicable in BUSINESS than it is in academia 1/
Absolutely right.

AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there.

Let me illustrate …
Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.

AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

The phrase "Happy Holidays" appeared as early as 1863 and was common in advertising by the 1930s, including tobacco ads and the classic song "Happy Holiday" from 1942. It was a way to embrace the entire season, covering Christmas, New Year's, and other winter festivals, acknowledging a diverse.

This Epstein files document says that Epstein allegedly threatened to burn a young woman’s house down if she revealed that he had stolen and sold personal photographs she had taken of her sisters.

The sisters were 12 and 16 years old.

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

REDACTED: The Trump Administration Can't Cover Up The Epstein Files Forever

The best way for Donald Trump to clear his name and escape his relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is to simply release all the files. That didn't happen today. What is he hiding?
