Incredible energy and work ethic!🎶

Depending on the timing, a Supreme Court ruling that weakens Voting Rights Act protections against racial discrimination may lead to more states redrawing congressional maps before the 2026 midterms. n.pr/4r76bDg

Immigration lawyers say those deported to Ukraine could be conscripted to fight in the war, contrary to international laws that prohibit deportations to places where people could face violence. n.pr/4r7dRp1

Both the House and Senate have moved to send to President Trump's desk a measure that would compel the Justice Department to release its documents regarding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

If you know what striving for proximity to whiteness does to people, you already know what this is about. I don’t trust Marjorie Taylor Greene for even a split second. And before you hand her grace she has not earned, hear this gentleman first.

Yay! A federal judge has again halted Trump’s attempt to shut down Voice of America. Judge Paul L. Friedman blocked Trump’s August order canceling the union’s collective-bargaining agreements.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly shared state voter-registration data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite earlier assurances to state election officials that the information would only be used for routine voter-list maintenance. Beginning in May 2025, DOJ

Massie: "There are a thousand survivors. They can't open enough investigations to cover up everything that's in these files."

Epstein, Maxwell, Mohammed bin Salman, Congress, and Fake News? youtu.be/Rd9AaRqcwmA?...

Congress votes! The Senate may vote tonight… youtu.be/XMbiwzL-Xmk?...

Cost of abolishing university tuition fees = £17bn Cost of making care homes free = £8.3bn Cost of making trains free to use = £11bn Cost of hitting net zero = £30.7bn The annual cost of the above is £67bn, which happens to be the amount of money given in tax relief to the richest 20% of the UK.

Let’s all call the fire marshals and demand inspections. Any place where it’s this overcrowded is by definition a fire hazard.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain. The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

TRUMP IS SCUM

Guess who’s back? It’s Paul Ingrassia! With a new government gig! That’s right! It’s everyone’s favorite far-right troll who was a fake lawyer for Andrew Tate who became a Trump nominee www.nationalmemo.com/paul-ingrass...

MAGA = Make America Great Again by enabling alleged sex traffickers, like Andrew Tate and protecting pedophiles, like everyone in the Epstein files. GOP = Guardians Of Pedophiles

Doesn’t This Fall Under Obstruction Of Justice?!? HUGE BREAKING: Trump lawyer Paul Ingrassia reportedly obstructed justice into a DHS sex trafficking investigation of Andrew Tate by demanding Tate gets his phone back from DHS – by orders of Trump's WHITE HOUSE. 😳 These people are sick.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

The ones in favour of the current systems are the ones benefiting from them Second hand oppression is complicity in the acts of exploitation, corruption, and injustice There are no innocent bystanders

Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

“ At just 16 years old, she took a job at Mar a Lago, believing she had secured a dream summer position. But that dream quickly morphed into a nightmare when Ghislaine Maxwell preyed upon her…. They trafficked her”

Epstein survivor Sharlene Rochard on how she ended up at Mar-a-Lago: "There were a lot of model parties at Mar-a-Lago"
