Right now there's a person somewhere who can leak the Epstein files which are being illegally kept from release.

The thing about Trump's war in Venezuela is that he still hasn't released 5 million pages of the Epstein files

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

JFK in 1960 defined a liberal as someone who who fights for justice and civil rights, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigidity, who defends the vulnerable, and acts with principle. His bold words still challenge every one of us to stand up and do what's right.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.
Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.
Another reason for Medicare for All.

Never underestimate the pettiness of theatre kids who have been insulted.
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Jesus was NOT WHITE. Sorry, MAGA.
He was a Middle Eastern Jewish man living under Roman occupation — not a white, European, or Western Christian figure. Christianity did not exist during his lifetime, and the pale “white Jesus” image comes from medieval European art, not history.
