So so angry about everything Epstein-linked, but this? This is the icing on a putrid, rotting oligarchal cake. All the heartache, the ruined lives, the divided communities… to line their pockets even more.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Lots to say about this front page, but wouldn’t it be refreshing if the image on the story top right was a middle aged man? I’m sure it’s not meant to be telling women what they should or shouldn’t do? Surely?

White House posts digitally altered image of woman arrested after ICE protest

The woman, Nekima Levy Armstrong, also appears to have darker skin in the altered image. Armstrong was one of three people arrested on Thursday in connection to a demonstration that disrupted church services in St Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. Demonstrators alleged that one of the pastors, David Easterwood, was the acting field director of the St Paul ICE office. Bondi announced the arrests on social media Thursday morning.
