Where are Somalis in the Epstein Files? Oh wait there aren't.
It was rich men, overwhelmingly white men, who raped girls with Epstein. Allegedly Daddy Trump was Epstein's closest friend for 10 years.
So where are the Epstein Files?
Hit MAGA back and don't let them demonize Somalis. Enough.

Schmitt’s argument is unintentionally revealing.
The “color revolutions” were non-violent, pro-democracy political movements aimed at ending autocratic regimes in former Soviet bloc nations.
If the Democrats are leading a “color revolution,” then Trump is an autocrat & Schmitt is pro-autocrat.

This is one advantage of having the historical memory of authoritarianism, as I have from Brazil: you know that, when the regime is gone, the people who collaborated and acquiesced look terrible in retrospect. It may look reasonable and justifiable now, but believe me, it will age like milk.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

To the Coast Guard leadership signing off on this: You are trading your honor for political favor. By bowing to an administration that flirts with neo-Nazis, you are destroying the integrity of the service. If you can't define a swastika as hate, you aren’t fit to command. Period.
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Debate over imported solar panels just got awkward. A new study finds these imports already saved nearly 600 American lives by slashing massive amounts of air pollution. While policymakers argue about trade, the panels have just been quietly cleaning our air and preventing premature deaths.
New study reveals that solar panels are preventing premature deaths across the US: 'Their broader societal benefits are underexplored'
"These are benefits that extend well beyond electricity prices."

Think of how much of the fuckery around Trump is due to Legacy Media.
I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?
