How embarrassing it is to watch our once-esteemed Department of Justice behave like this.

Onward!

This Week in Democracy – Week 49: The Supreme Court Finally Hands Trump a Significant Loss open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

Soon we’re all going to be penalized for speaking unkind words about the führer and liberals — the resistance will be labeled as “Enemies of the State” and become National Security Threats. They’re going to take away our voices if we don’t stop them.

2025 is coming to an end! These are some of our film highlights this year...

Flashback, Women’s March Jan 21, 2017 #stl

Who was America's first self-made female millionaire? Entrepreneur Madam C.J. Walker, born #OTD in 1867. She built an empire with a line of beauty & hair care products for Black women. Known for her philanthropy & activism, she supported #civilrights causes & was a patron of the arts.

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

The next president will have a new cabinet position: "The Secretary of Removing Every Reference to Donald J. Trump From Anything Other than STDs, Outhouses and Flaming Dumpsters, Crowbarring Off Tacky Gold Bric-a-Brac from White House Walls, and Joyously Dynamiting the Vulgar Trump Ballroom."

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway. The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦 My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable. 1/5

Some good news to end the year on. The Supreme Court today blocked Trump from sending the National Guard into the Chicago area — finally setting a limit to Trump’s executive power. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/finally-the-supreme-court-stops-trump

She's as bad as her husband.

Garcia: They are, on one hand, putting names of survivors in these documents that are not redacted. And in these same documents, they're taking extra time and being extra careful to redact the names of the coconspirators

jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

www.thebulwark.com/p/pete-hegse... The arrogance of this drunken fuck just makes me wanna slap that smug smile off his face ☹️

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

We, The People of the United States are neither Donald Trump's servants, nor his subjects, nor his property.

They’re releasing the bad stuff now because it’s Christmas time. But if you are angry about Epstein because of the abuse of children, then don’t pretend Trumps name wasn’t all over today’s release. Or admit it was all politics in the first place

🙂

All CECOT stories in the past few hours removed from Reddit (r/politics) for being "off-topic". "All submissions to r/politics need to be explicitly about current US politics." Reddit is being actively censored.

Release the damn files.

Release the REAL Epstein files. All of them. Unredacted except for victim's names and identifying details. And release them completely unredacted to senior Dems in Congress.

Dear American people, Quit acting shocked, Military will not step in. SCOTUS will not suddenly shift allegiance. There is no one who will save us. We have to save ourselves.

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

THIS is what I'll be watching tonight instead of the Orange Atrocity on C: BS.

Why CBS Silenced a 60 Minutes Investigation youtu.be/0MDLruLgsQI

The natural world is a wonderful place. This is timelapse video from a few years ago of a marine sponge sneezing. It has mucus inside that traps the sort of particles that might clog it up, and expels them in periodic contractions every 3-8 hours. Atchoo! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJqI...

They’re scrambling. Written for a party of one.

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

"I am not satisfied in making money for myself. I endeavor to provide employment for hundreds of the women of my race." -- Madam C. J. Walker, born #OTD 1867

Not gonna lie. This surprised me. And I’m not sorry .

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

When you have broken as many laws as FOTUS has and caused as much wanton destruction of the administration, you are an enemy of the state. The military oath, "To support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC."

NEW: Statement from Epstein survivor Marijke Chartouni: "When institutions like the FBI and the DOJ failed to address the claims of Maria Farmer and others that came forward after her, it feels like they too are part of the exploitation.

This is what happens when Congress and Law firms hand over their balls to a narcissistic maniac. Who will stand up for the law? Who will stand up for the victims?

I’ll take immigrants over pederasts any day.

Know what’s worse than illegal migrants…? Raping children and covering up for ‘em.

🧵Let’s be clear: CECOT is part of Trump’s immigration machine. Just because the torture is on foreign soil doesn’t wash the blood off Trump's hands. It's why CBS yanked the 60 Minutes report. They don't want people to know that Trump is outsourcing torture and brutality. Details below.

‘Splains a lot…

Reminder that we are a year into aggressive ICE raids and concentration camps, and there’s not a single example of local cops protecting people against this violence, kidnapping, or death.

This Epstein file reports a conversation in which someone said "Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein." If true, Trump may have participated in raping a child. This demands immediate bipartisan investigation. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

NEWS: The Trump admin has quietly implemented a near-total BAN on abortion care at VA, even in cases of rape or incest. This is yet another attack on reproductive freedom and a profound betrayal of veterans who put their lives on the line for our country. Shameful.

On Friday, the federal judge Casey Pitts ordered a halt to courthouse arrests in Northern California and the Pacific Islands. A final ruling on whether the practice can continue is expected in the coming months.
