Excellent read.
-Trump’s own DOJ headed by Bondi told us in a July memo “that Epstein harmed over one thousand victims.” Yes, more than one thousand people were victims—presumably many when Bondi was Florida’s top law enforcement officer, yet she did nothing.-

Pam Bondi just reminded us that she's part of the Epstein cover up. Bondi's defensiveness/evasive at Tuesday's Senate hearing when asked about Epstein is what prosecutors call consciousness of guilt. Bondi is guilty of being part of cover up. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/pam-bondi-...

Pam Bondi just reminded us that she's part of the Jeffrey Epstein cover up

Tuesday's Senate hearing gave us even more proof

He’s known for promoting far-right talking points and pushing misinformation — from COVID skepticism to election denial.

The GOP Effort to Hide the Epstein Files Just Hit a Disgusting New Low

Republicans are attempting to delay swearing in a recently-elected Democratic member of Congress so she can’t become the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

So glad some of us are here on Bluesky. 🦋

There are other ways to spread news and awareness. Support independent journalism for starters.

Offline: build community connections. Meet your neighbors and share resources. Stop consuming antisocial media; start creating relationships and resilience.

On Tyranny is a must read for every American who wants to resist. Listen to the high points here.

The whole thing is a short, easy read that gives you a lot to think about and some everyday ways to resist.

Corruption all the way down.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

Pentagon to limit journalists’ access unless they agree not to publish certain information

The unprecedented move is the strongest action yet in restricting how reporters cover the country’s largest federal agency.
