To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

All decent Americans must resist the criminal regime in the White House. Do it for patriotism, or do it because it's getting worse and everyone you love will suffer.

SEAL Team 6 fired a missile at vessel off Trinidad on 9/2. Two men survived and clung to the burning wreck. Joint Special Operations commander ordered a second strike "to finish them".

Quebec's new secularism bill expands the scope of who the government officially hates
Today, the Coalition Avenir Québec is introducing, An Act respecting the reinforcement of laicity in Québec (the name is better in French, surely).

Toula nails it: "By preventing any hypothetical women forced to wear religious symbols from attaining an education or a job, the government is not only sabotaging their integration but also dooming them to an existence it claims it wants to protect them from: fully reliant on their oppressors."
Despite what the bill’s supporters claim, true secularism doesn’t seek the erasure of religion from the public sphere, but protects religious minorities from any state-imposed religion.

Quebec's Bill 9 is legalized discrimination
The government of Quebec tabled a new secularism bill today aiming to build on Bill 21 — more legalized discrimination from the CAQ.

Good letter. Imagine if this fully bilingual, capable pol jumped into the NDP leadership race (not saying he would, mind).
This afternoon, I informed the Prime Minister of my decision to resign as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec.

The level of overreach is stunning, even for this bunch. They are so blind to their systemic racism they are actually dictating it over our Charter rights. Fuck the CAQ!

It’s unsurprising that the Georgia election interference case against Trump will be dismissed
But it’s infuriating nonetheless
We all heard him extorting Brad Raffensperger-trying to make him “find” 11,780 votes
And worse-now the DOJ is “investigating” Fani Willis-upon Trump’s demand

Guessing the official FDA definition of what all may be allowed to be called "real chicken" is probably codified in a very carefully-crafted 3,000-word statement known well only among select agri-biz corporate lawyers.

The justice system failed in the Georgia election fraud case. Highly paid lawyering defeated the facts. We know Trump asked a Georgia official to "find 11,780 votes." We know it was an obvious attempt to steal an election. We know Trump is a traitor. Nothing will erase the truth.
