BREAKING: As the Super Bowl gets ready to kick off in Las Vegas, someone just protected this video onto a building there!

It’s the “P-do Bowl” featuring the men who are in the Epstein files the most.

Hint: Donald Trump, Howard Lutnick and Steve Bannon are the all-stars of this game.

Hello, Germany …. ?
Norway has also launched an investigation. So that's the UK, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Turkey....
France just raided X's headquarters and summoned Musk for questioning on CSAM charges.

While the U.S. won't investigate his correspondence with a convicted child sex trafficker sitting in DOJ files.

If you still support Trump and his administration, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.

I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.

I judge you for your support of pedophilia, racism, treason & fascism.

So will others. So will history.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.

Not one more penny for ICE.

Demand:
End the terror in the streets.
We want our neighbors here, in our cities and in our country, not in detention concentration camps or on deportation planes.
All ICE off our streets.
Impeach K. Noem and investigate Homan’s bribe.
Likewise: murderers and assaulters within ICE and CBP.
I don’t believe Tom Homan. I think this is a ploy to get @democrats.senate.gov to fund DHS. They lied about deescalation last week and I don’t believe a word the Cava Czar says.
Trump 'border czar' Tom Homan says 700 immigration officers will be withdrawn from Minnesota immediately.

Roughly 3,000 officers are currently deployed in the state.

“as late as 2018, Epstein was invited to or attended dinners alongside the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Google vice-president and later Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer.”

What a surprise.

Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.
Yes, we’re looking at you, Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins & Thom Tillis, you absolute oath-violating cowards.
These 5 people could caucus with the Democrats, giving them a majority & firmly opposing the fascism, any time. It might be nice for an enterprising journalist to ask them why they keep not doing this every day as the crimes & corruption continue & John Thune refuses to fulfill his oath of office.

Na klar. Keinen Zentimeter weichen für die Schwestern: kein Frauendiakonat und keine Frauenordination. Erst recht nicht Entscheidungsgewalt & faire Mitbestimmung für Laien. Dagegen: größte Toleranz für diese Brüder. Bis wir alle weg sind und nur noch die rechten Brüder (read as you like) übrig sind.
Die traditionalistischen #Piusbrüder wollen ihren Fortbestand sichern und neue Bischöfe weihen – trotz eines Verbots aus dem #Vatikan. Gespräche mit der #Piusbruderschaft würden fortgesetzt, »mit dem Ziel, Brüche oder einseitige Lösungen in Bezug auf die aufgetretenen Probleme zu vermeiden«:

Illinois is joining the World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network.

I refuse to sit by as Donald Trump undermines science and weakens our nation's ability to detect and respond to global health threats.

Russian terror bombing of Ukraine continues. Ukraine's allies donate generators but not long range missiles to strike Russia's capacity to terrorize. Western media ignore the humanitarian disaster altogether.
Ukraine was rocked by a massive overnight Russian assault, with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles slamming into the country’s energy system.

Rescue and recovery operations are continuing across the country.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Politico …. Not. It’s Springer Press (German-owned).
Nice try.
Thanks for catching that for everyone to see how it is normalized immediately.
Trump said: “The Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

Which outlet do think got it right with its headline?

This is just sick. His family knows. Voters didn’t listen & we are paying the price now. Miller maybe the worst of them all. But they all fall in line. They love their power because they have nothing else to show for. They are weak. And they know it.
I’m from Germany. I know exactly what he means.
Full rights and citizenship actually means they’re not a “foreign labor class.” And that’s what he’s angry about. He’s mad citizenship is universal rather than restricted to white people like before the civil war bsky.app/profile/gbbr...
