The post and the rest of this thread are excellent and important food for thought.

Training people since 9/11 with "if you see something, say something" bullshit. Everyone thinks they have some duty to constantly surveil their neighbors, co-workers, and strangers on the street. This is how #Fascism works. Keep everyone vigilant, divided, and mistrustful of each other.

This isn’t gaffe level incompetence; it’s a fundamental inability to distinguish aggressor from victim. No country should ever be represented like this. Future textbooks won’t struggle with this moment. 👇

Trump to MTG on releasing Epstein abusers' names: "My friends will get hurt." Not "innocent people will be smeared." Not "due process matters." MY FRIENDS WILL GET HURT. He just confessed to obstruction of justice to protect child abusers. That's not politics. That's RICO.

Pelosi: “The President incited an insurrection. We begged him to send the National Guard, they never sent them. This President is trying to re-write history… it was an assault on the constitution of 🇺🇸.”

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Here's a shot I got in May of a Cliff Swallow colony on the central coast. There were so many nests I lost count and I can't wait to get back there in 2026! #Birds #Photography #Nature

The Supreme Court needs to reevaluate the presidential immunity. This is not a thing. The constitution does not contain anything near it. This gave him the ability to legally shoot someone on 5th Ave and not feel the repercussions. No one is entitled to this. We need a massive overhaul.

New reporting says Don Jr. directly facilitated the pardon of a crypto whale who had promoted the Trump's family crypto. Jr. brought the pardon lawyer to the White House, and introduced him directly to his Dad. Pardon occurred right after. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

"I think that's been a real mistake by the Ellisons to say, Trump's our friend, therefore... we're gonna have it faster," @karaswisher.bsky.social tells @timmiller.bsky.social. "What a shitty argument: Daddy's friend is the president and I get what I want."

When Trump and Rubio talk about "censorship of American thought" what they really mean is "any statement or claim which angers Peter Thiel or Elon Musk and which is hostile to the Nazi/Fascist/Pétainiste parties across Europe that they are funding.

Call me crazy but there isn’t too much I would not believe about the guy who engineered an insurrection and stole top secret documents

The DOJ is trying to get all your individualized voter data (including SS number, DOB, current and previous addresses, voting records, etc.) in order to intimidate and undermine elections. Please listen to this and re-post on all your social media. Email this video to you friends & family members.

A favorite every single year. RIP, Kirsty and Shane. 🎄🎅🏻💚

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I filmed the @SDNY press conference when #Epstein was arrested. Geoffrey Berman stated exactly what was confiscated by the FBI when they raided Epstein’s mansion. Tapes, hard drives, 1700 photos on the walls. They fired Berman not long after www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZHc...

There really is no doubt that Trump has been an asset for Putin for decades. We can wonder whether there's a formal arrangement or just voluntary participation on Trump's part, but the fact that he's a Russian assent can't be credibly denied. #ProudBlue

Conservative economist Stephen Moore, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, admitted that his wife returns from the grocery store "really angry" about food prices.

The FBI has had these files for nearly 20 years.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Unspoken understandings are my favorite.

Interesting that Justice Kavanaugh decided he had to add footnote 4 to his concurrence, which addresses the "State’s underlying objections to the activities of federal immigration officers when they make immigration stops."

“We will show you [proof] [of] these concentration camps . . . [that] will be disgusting and you will say I have robbed you of your sleep. But these are the things which have turned the stomach of the world and set every civilized hand against Nazi Germany.” —Robert H. Jackson, 21 Nov. ‘46

Under Trump, all the powers of the presidency are sold for the right sums... and this is particularly true of regulatory powers, the pardon power and the control over federal criminal law enforcement. For the right sums, you can have anything.

Aha! So that's it.

Donald Trump isn't in the Epstein Files. Epstein is in The Donald Trump Files! Trump has been grooming under age girls since the 90's in his various Teen Pagents. Pam Bondi is covering it up.
