One the MiVote positions (written into our constitution) was that 16 years old could vote.

Needed more than ever.

WTF Gen X. We were supposed to be the good guys, not making the mistakes our parents made. Property prices have cooked us.

“I heard it absolves me”

Read as: we won’t release 3 million files and the files we did release had hundreds of FBI agents removing incriminating evidence of decades of my child raping.

Only a guillotine will do.
Trump on Epstein Files: I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it's the opposite of what people were hoping, you know, the radical left.

This is not a right/left issue. This is a social class issue where rich men feel they can do anything with impunity.

Chomsky was pals with Epstein, does not get much further left.

In #Australia Palantir surveillance is being used by Coles, Bunnings Kmart etc. (think flybuys) and #auspol has just invested in Palantir. Do you really want to support these companies / government using this vial inhumane algorithmic killing tool? www.instagram.com/reel/DSGEOlh...

2026

A ceasefire where dozens are killed daily

A mass rape investigation where only perpetrators are protected

A climate catastrophe where the response is led by the worst offenders

A media industry that editorialises the opposite of the footage they air

And they wonder why we don’t trust them

Has anyone calculated the number of court hours wasted by the child rapist in chief across his thousands of lifetime legal cases?
And now he wants
$10B from us for leaked tax records.
For tax records he refused to release for public disclosure which is part of the requirements as our president.
Fuck him. He needs to pay us for this failure and frivolous litigation.

“Unamerican” propaganda Megan? What a slap in the face for the millions of Jews, British, European, Soviets and allied

It has always been a failed and conflicted agency

It was set up that way

It assassinated Malcolm X & MLK
It knew and cooperated in the assassinations of JFK and RFK
Hoover was a member of secret Texan Big Oil groups (along with his very close friend LBJ)

FBI was never about the 'little people'
