“He’s my first born,” Susan Pretti said. “He’s the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day.” “No,” her husband said. I urge you to read this today.

Reposting for those of us who need to see this again and again. Every little bit of truth shining through will help us remain hopeful that someday soon, this madness will end. Pam can't even look the Epstein survivors in the face. She won't apologize. She protects Trump. Both of them are guilty.

To be clear, we're saying they have no money and no documentation but somehow they're snatching up homes? In this economy?

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

A painting by Maria Farmer, that she sent to the FBI, demanding they take action. I will be posting more of Maria’s work soon. She’s incredibly talented and has survived so much.

Rep. Neguse: “The man in that video, the one…allegedly yelling 'kill em' at police officers on Jan. 6. His name is Jared Wise." Bondi: "He does work for us." Neguse: "This is who you choose…to hire at DOJ?" Bondi: "I believe he was pardoned by President Trump."

"If [Jewish Legacy Organizations] do not want to lose a generation of Jews from having any relationship w/Israel, they would do well to reconsider the decades-old policy of pushing aside those who believe that real commitment to Israel’s future requires fighting also for the rights of Palestinians."

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd of hundreds of rabbis, cantors, and other Jews have gathered outside ICE headquarters in DC for the largest ever Jewish protest against ICE’s violence and crimes. #jewsagainstICE

I know this should go without saying, but the AG is not being asked to testify about the state of the economy (as if the Dow is a measure of that). Unless she wants to draw a connection between the stock markets and white collar crime....

How quickly some have forgotten: No Irish No Blacks No Dogs. We say: No Trump, No ICE, No White House Shamrock. #trump #eu #ICE #ForTheLoveOfDublin

I think it is fair to say that Pam Bondi crashed and burned today. She disgraced herself and her office (once again). While it may have provided light entertainment for her addled boss, it only revealed how unfit she is for her job. I hope she spends a lot of time reliving these moments. In jail.

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

Haunting photo of Pam Bondi refusing to look at the Epstein survivors

holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

Pam Bondi has nothing more to say about why she hired a Jan. 6 insurrectionist who was indicted on multiple charges and yelled for the killing of police officers defending the Capitol

These men are a threat to the long term survival of all life on earth

G-d Bless @raskin.house.gov 🙏 Pam Bondi is running a massive coverup.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

I’ve never once shown my ID boarding a train or buying a train ticket.

Donald Trump’s DOJ just tried—and failed—to indict me in front of a grand jury. We will continue to fight back against their rising tyranny. Don’t Give Up the Ship.

Rep. Lieu: “Howard Lutnick must resign… The Epstein Files new release shows that not only did Howard Lutnick lie to the American people, he went into business with Jeffrey Epstein, he visited Epstein Island, and Howard Lutnick did this knowing how evil Epstein was.”

"This is Mia, 7 years old -- 'I don't want to be in this place. I want to be in my school'" -- Walkinshaw confronts Lyons with letters written by kids being detained by ICE

One of the administration’s more brazen and alarming assaults on democracy: trying to criminalize speech by legislators from the opposition party.

Thirty years ago Susan Collins pledged to retire after two terms. Today she announced she’s running for a sixth term. Her word, as always, meant nothing.

Howard Lutnick must resign as Commerce Secretary because he lied about his close dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. After Epstein’s sex trafficking conviction, Lutnick went into business with him! Of course there are many other reasons why Lutnick is unfit for public office, as this thread shows. 1/7🧵🧵🧵

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is calling for the urgent release of pro-Palestine NJ resident Leqaa Kordia, who has spent nearly a year in ICE detention after protesting in NYC.

The 10/2019 interview "not previously reported,has shed new light on Trump’s involvement in the early stages of the 2006 JE investigation in PB, FL.It also raises questions about how much Trump knew about Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes." @jkbjournalist.bsky.social www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Absolutely thrilled to see @nishaagarwal.bsky.social appointed Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities. Our mutual friend @adybarkan.bsky.social is smiling on the choice. Nisha embodies what it means to #BeAHero. Love to see Christopher Alvarez with the scoop!

"If we aim to rebuild a US foreign policy that is grounded in human rights, that respects sovereignty, that builds multilateral coalitions to end forever wars, one important place to start is by ending US complicity in the genocide in Gaza." @bradlander.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/poli...

DOGE spent all last year destroying the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, the agency in charge of stopping big banks and financial institutions from cheating working people. Now with the agency gutted, an estimated $19 billion that should have gone back to people is gone forever.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Disturbing news. SSB 6239 just cleared Senate Ways & Means and is now in Senate Rules, one step closer to a full vote. If this becomes law, Tatiani Elliot and survivors like her could be forced into mandatory arbitration before reaching a courtroom. @wadems.org @housedemocrats.wa.gov

In a letter to the National Park Service, @speakermenin.bsky.social, alongside LGBTQIA+ Caucus Co-Chairs @chiosse.bsky.social and Justin Sanchez, denounced the Trump administration’s removal of the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument and urged its immediate return.

NEW: The White House and NARA must preserve and prevent the destruction of presidential records created on President Trump's Truth Social, including his now-deleted post of debunked 2020 election fraud claims and racist images depicting the Obamas. Read our full letter:

"Mandelson’s treachery is an extreme instance of the dominant mode of UK politics over the past 45 yrs:The subordination of democracy to the demands of the ultra-rich.Abuse and exploitation-of women and children..poorer countries..and workers -are baked into the system." @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

Rep. Kennedy: "Do you believe your agency has a legal obligation to follow court orders?" ICE Director Lyons: "Yes." Rep. Kennedy: "You have a very strange way of showing it, with a federal judge finding that your agency is in violation of 96 orders in one month alone."

No way will I attend the White House dinner with this President. I’m standing with @govwesmoore.bsky.social and @colorado.gov — and standing against Trump’s corruption and hatred. And I’m calling on my Republican colleagues to do the same.

Every word of this 🔥 “The mask is off… for so long, many of us have been able to say that there is something deeply anti-democratic and racist at the heart of this MAGA project and of Trumpism.” - @maragay.bsky.social

Time to start disabling ALL of the neighborhood Ring cameras in your area. I'm sure the people insisting the feature is voluntary and you can turn it off, are the same people who insisted Google wasn't listening to our conversations for marketing purposes.
