CBS pulling @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s interview from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is alarming and nothing short of censorship. Full breakdown on my Substack page (link below).

It is extremely refreshing to see European liberal democracies getting serious about protecting children from the poison of disinformation, body dysmorphia, racism, and misogyny poured into their vulnerable and developing brains by social media.

Let’s give our kids their childhood back.

This is a bombshell: One of Epstein's victims accused Trump of sexually and violently assaulting her when she was "13 to 15" and the FBI deemed her credible enough to warrant an interview.
FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show
Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff

The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items

When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"
Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the civil rights movement.

He broke down barriers, inspired generations, and kept hope alive. Our state, nation, and world are better due to his years of service.

I’m ordering flags to half-mast to honor him.

May his memory be a blessing.

The Atlantic continues to cover itself in glory. This guy is treated as an elder statesman for a career that peaked with—drumroll—being one of the earliest and loudest proponents for invading Iraq after 9/11. I suppose it's good he's now a fan of white nationalism, that means it too will fail.

I have a prediction: Sooner than later, one of Epstein’s victims is going to get fed up with the slow-walking BS, step to a mic, and light a match that sets proverbial asses on fire. When the system stalls long enough...someone decides it’s time. ALWAYS.

Casting a vote in a polling station is a constitutionally protected right.

Murdering people in cold blood in the street is not.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, Mr. Emmer.
Emmer: "Another reform they claim they want is they want ICE agents to identify themselves, to show identification. But they don't want identification for voters in elections. I mean, this stuff is just intellectually inconsistent."
