"Yes, maybe these rich old men raped children, but they are MUCH richer now, so it all evens out" is Pam Bondi's attitude about the Epstein case and the survivors of his abuse in a nutshell. She is a horrible, shallow person.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

I was watching a documentary that explored the hiding of people in physical spaces as being a key indicator of - and a key part of resistance against - fascism. If people don’t see it now, it’s because they don’t want to. It’s so sad and maddening. How can this be happening again?!?!?

Is ICE building a “black box” detention center where you live?

The rogue agency is spending hundreds of millions of dollars buying up empty warehouse space across the country to hold detainees.

Here’s what you should know — and what can be done about it.

Unreasonable poll taxes are part of the plan. We are literally regressing as a country.
Rep. Johnson: If you have to produce a passport in order to register to vote, we have tens of millions of people in this country that don't have access to passports. Are we going to then waive the passport fee of $150 so it's not an unreasonable poll tax?

This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

How is it possible that anything about the funding fight does not include at the absolute minimum releasing every child from these concentration camps?
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

This is absolutely shameful and definitely not what the people of Massachusetts voted for.
NEW: Of all the states that voted for Harris over Trump in 2024, there's only one where a Dem governor is overseeing an ICE's 287(g) program:

Massachusetts.

Other blue states have quit, or even outright banned it. My colleague on what's happening: boltsmag.org/massachusett...

This comes at the same time that the conservative movement is targeting young women more broadly—from tradwife bullshit to MAHA misinformation about birth control.

The goal is convincing the next generation that the rapid erosion of their rights isn’t a political crisis, but a lifestyle upgrade.

So It’s child rape. It’s also just rape.

And it’s as if these defenders did not read the files or are just ignoring all the facts they find inconvenient to their justification of his crimes.

There is no excuse for any of it. It’s indefensible.

There has one (more) thing that has really been bothering me lately about the “they were teenagers so it’s ok” excuses that people like Douthat and his panel have been making.

It’s that there are dozens and dozens of allegations of forcible, violent rape by Jeffrey Epstein in those files.
