He died in prison before trial.

It is not clear who Massie meant by “the Hollywood producer worth hundreds of millions.”

But just days ago Woody Allen told The Times that he and his wife Soon-Yi dined with Epstein after his 2008 conviction and said Epstein “couldn’t have been nicer.”

🚨 JPMorgan kept Epstein as a client for years after he was a convicted sex offender.

They processed $1B+ in suspicious transactions, including routine $40k cash withdrawals, while execs overrode compliance.

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Thomas Massie just named former Barclays CEO Jes Staley as one of the men survivors were trafficked to by Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell — saying there are at least 19 others. This came during FBI Director Kash Patel’s tense House Oversight hearing.

David Copperfield, like Epstein, owned a private island.
In 2007, a young woman said she was flown there under false pretenses, isolated, and assaulted.
The FBI investigated for 2 years, but no charges were filed.

Right? Make it make sense 😫

Calling antifascism “terrorism” is unconstitutional.
Under federal law, only foreign organizations can be designated as terrorist entities . Never domestic political movements or ideologies.
This is unAmerican.

The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that advocacy (yes, even of radical or unpopular ideas) is protected speech unless it incites imminent lawless action. Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) made that clear.

Under the U.S. Constitution, antifascism is protected political expression.
It’s the government’s job to protect speech. It’s a constitutional right.

The First Amendment doesn’t have a party. It has a purpose: to protect the unpopular from the powerful.
