If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

Sleaze is easy money from a pandemic, Republicans are good at this. #USA

The stupidity and outright superstition in the US continue with bobbybobby jr attacking aluminum salts, a key component of many vaccines. Idiocracy is in full swing. #USA🧪#Health

How can we not help but love the largest known land invertebrate? Also? Think of the tracks this absolute unit would've have left. (ht to @susieoftraken.bsky.social for reposting @caseystegman.com for the original post.) #FossilFriday #Invertefest

When a major media outlet openly capitulates to the political agenda of the executive branch, they are no longer part of the fourth estate. They are state-run media. Add Bari Weiss and CBS to the list of those who have betrayed our Republic.

Andrew Tate - trafficker and abuser of women, turns out to be useless when fighting even a novice male boxer. He’s been punching down most of his life. When he had to fight a novice low-level boxer, he got punched down.

At this point there is no more doubt about Enemy #1s guilt. Whatever is redacted is clearly bad news for the regime. The thing about rich people is, they can have people disappeared for an insignificant sum, to them. We must have the unpredicted files to get to them! Or, the survivors list of names.
