@jab1963.bsky.social Hi there. I hope you are well. Crazy world.

This awful story has been overshadowed by the notoriety surrounding Charlie Kirk’s murder and the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel: Immigration advocates warned that the Trump administration would “disappear” migrants Now 1800 men detained at the so-called Alligator Alcatraz gulag can’t be located

Oh, ya think?

vice-president, and is in charge of logistics The gang's national treasurer, Bill "Saint" Siebe, who leads the security team for one of GHF's four "safe distribution sites" One of the gang's founding members, is Richard "A-Tracker" Lofton, a team leader at another distribution site.

Is anyone surprised by this? Are we ever going to be able to have a day without a headline like this?

I truly hate the republiCON party!

. Hey America, Hey Pam Bondi, THIS is NOT "free speech" . . . THIS is "HATE SPEECH" ! 🖕 all Nazis - everywhere ! .

I disagree, its a tale as old as time....

These are unpresidented times.

Same thing, except the latter is safer, better informed and means well.

Can you get to Minneapolis Tuesday, August 26th from 10:30-12:00? If so, please come and vote for some amazing people (and me!) for the Veterans and Military Family Members Council executive committee. This council *desperately* needs new leadership.

Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked girls. Now she gets work release. This isn’t justice. It’s a reward. She’s not reformed,she’s rehearsing her comeback. The system that let Epstein off the hook is doing it again. The survivors get silence. She gets a job. This isn’t a mistake. It’s how power works.

Donald Trump’s most consequential legacy is his war on the truth. From jobs reports to the news to election outcomes, he has poisoned the minds of millions of Americans. And it’s only getting worse.

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files. Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office. One side dodges accountability. The other fights for democracy. Repost @djmelodie

Wtf

Law firms, universities, media companies, and now banks. If people don’t understand what’s happening to our country, it’s because they don’t want to.

On this day in 1944 Anne Frank was arrested.

I’m gobsmacked. Forbes and MSNBC publish their 50 (women) over 50 list. Billed as so: “Meet The Women Who Define Innovation, Drive And Hope.” On that list are current chief of staff Susie Wiles and, brace yourselves, NC’s Virginia Foxx. youtube.com/shorts/IcVYD...

Roy Cooper, NC Senate! Yes!

You’re not buying this are you?

It’s because there are no consequences. When we get the reins back, kill the filibuster, pass strong contempt and disbarment laws, and expand the Supreme Court. (Disclaimer: yes there are other things to do when we get the reins back but this post is specifically about judicial reform. Thank you.)
