Rapist felon Trump's people going after the Clintons won't distract us from the Epstein files, in which Trump is explicitly named as participating in raping someone with Epstein. Case id 50-D-NY-3027571, 10/27/2020

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004) Downtown, Manhattan, New York, 1947

Astronaut, military veteran and Senator Mark Kelly has filed a lawsuit against trashy rapist drunkard fox propagandist Pete Hegseth for threatening to reduce his military pension and demote his rank. Good. Mark Kelly is an American hero. Pete Hegseth is a scumbag.

There will be an epidemic of broken families, suicide and drug abuse. Not us. Members of ICE will suffer that fate and probably already are. If you are married to a member of ice you should have bag packed and a safe place to go to. Don’t become a statistic.

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime. Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good. I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

Turns out it is much safer to attack the U.S. Capitol than it is to drive away from ICE. Who knew?

So, the First Amendment is a thing of the past by the way. 😤🤯😡🤬 #Minnesota #ICE

This isn't being reported enough: Detroit Become Human has sold 15 million copies. What's curious is that it sold 1 million copies over the holidays alone due to being on a deep sale, and reached its highest concurrent player count on Steam. David Cage has given a statement. From Push Square:

Blissful In Blue The blue hour is my favourite time of day. The last birds are saying goodnight, the stars awaken for their nocturnal patrols, and all the Sunset Tourists have gone off to the pub for a pint. 1/2 #Wanaka #WanakaTree #Bucketlist #BlueHour #EastCoastKin #Landscape #Photography

last night : seeing the northern lights when they were this strong and visible (you could see all the shimmering and dancing with the naked eye, it was just a bit less colour saturated) was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. utterly humbling and astonishing near Tromsø, Norway

IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP NOW AND EVERY MEMBER OF HIS ADMINISTRATION

Has anyone else noticed that the EPSTEIN FILES are still being held back. Less than 1% have been released. Another blatant refusal to accept oversight from our pitifully weak congress. 🗽

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement". They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population. There is nothing "lawful" about it.
