So they were undocumented immigrants who survived with the help of the very indigenous people whose descendants ICE is now harassing because they look brown?

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

We're not following the "rule of law": we're just being too polite. It's ok for the felon to send his posse to act as ICE agents who literally grab & hurt innocents. It's ok for him to withhold & redact 90% of the files. We sit there waiting for all the Ts to be crossed, i's to be dotted b4 we act.

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.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.
