My prediction.
The Epstein files will not be released. They will be leaked. By a woman as there are no brave men left.

In normal times Hegseth, his BOSS & Adm. Bradley would be forced to resign and then be tried for war crimes. It’s not just about the survivors, it’s all of it. Murdering people w/o evidence, warrants or due process. They’re acting as judge, jury & executioner. It’s horrific & I’m ashamed of the U.S.

Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

Every member of the armed forces needs to pay close attention to this hegseth debacle.
Bradley will fry for this but maybe it is a good example to the troops what happens to those that follow illegal orders. DO NOT FOLLOW ILLEGAL ORDERS.
An admiral would know this was blatantly illegal.

A judge had granted her protection, saying she could not go back to Sierra Leone because she was tortured there.
So Trump sent her to Ghana--and Ghana now deporting her back to Sierra Leone, where she was tortured during the war.
This is how Trump is getting around judges' orders.
Pure evil.

Happy #Caturday Quin on his fave chair. Said chair is 30 years old and probably held together by a scaffold of pet hair and dander. Many pets have loved this chair and I have loved them all. So the gaudy red chair stays.

Grief can be overwhelming and intense and sometimes you need a break.
Earlier this week, I went for a walk with a friend and took these photos (plus a bonus fly agaric pic I took a few weeks ago because it’s stunning!).
It's ok to distract yourself during grief.

This gives me a sliver of hope for America to get out of this Trump mess. However, Venezuela 🇻🇪 should be worried. Trump will need a new distraction from Epstein files.
Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

By 2050 – less than two-and-a-half centuries since invasion – koalas will be extinct in New South Wales, and at risk across all other mainland states and territories, without urgent government intervention.
