NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Do I trust this recent transformation? Not yet
Will I offer grace to those who want to be done with toxic politics? Even those who once reveled in it? Yes
The road to redemption, however, is long and it must be travelled.
For MTG, the road requires her to be truthful about J6 and her role in it.

Important distinction. Thank you, Noam.
This doesn't apply to ICE. They're all just execrable assholes.

Looking through my OneDrive collection of photos, I came across this. Over 52 years ago, I was privileged to spend a couple of months in Cuba as a member of the 6th contingent of the Venceremos Brigade. One of the people who traveled with me was the current Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass.

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.
It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!
Repost if you agree.

Pam Bottle Blondi is a real piece of fascist work.
This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

They misspelled "consciously".
There sure is a lot of missing evidence when it comes to DHS.
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

What ever happened to waiting until Thanksgiving (which is two weeks away) is over before putting up Christmas decorations? There's at least one house near me that's had lights and numerous lawn decorations up for a week. I'm having a hard time understanding the motivation behind this. Help!

He couldn't spell worth a shit.
Epstein apparently got higher than anyone has ever been and wrote himself an email of all the cool shit he thought up

Well now ... this seems rather apropos to repost.

I made this wallet around 1970. I was waiting for a march to begin that was organized by the VVAW, for which I was a principal organizer. If memory serves, it was in Nixon's hometown of Whittier and the featured speaker was Ron Kovic, who was a friend. I believe someone slashed his tires that day.

My sister's drive to work in the San Fernando Valley this morning. There's a storm coming in, “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky at morning, sailor take warning.”

Well, of course. Trump is only interested in appearance, never essence. Despite all the money that flows his way, every thing about him is cheap, low-rent, white trash, blowhard bullshit.

While I'm deeply disappointed in the Senate Dems who "caved" and voted to end the shutdown, I'm also a big believer in turning negatives into positives or, at least, recognizing silver linings, no matter how thin. Let's not dwell on the negatives of the vote and celebrate the swearing in of Adelita.
