NEW: @rokhanna.bsky.social is calling for Congress to haul in every person who emailed Epstein about visiting his island.
He says he won’t rest until those who committed these crimes are held accountable.

The electoral college was sold to us in history classes as a way for sensible people to undo a bad election.
That didn't happen in 2016 or 2024.
So, let's do away with it.
We've been taught a lie.

Reminder that Tulsi Gabbard, running for POTUS as a Dem in the 2020 race, sued Hillary Clinton because she implied Gabbard was being groomed by Moscow as a 3rd-party candidate, then soon dropped the suit because, she said, the focus should be on beating Trump, for whom she now works as a Republican.

Pay attention to the men clawing the hardest to hold onto power. They are the child rapists and sex traffickers named in the Trumpstein files.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

MAGA, you say "this isn't what I voted for!", yet you continue to cheer it, justify it, argue, shriek "MAGA!", & call everyone who shows you facts "liars."
It's time to STOP. You were lied to. Conned. Manipulated.

My wife's enthusiastically following a reduced-calorie diet with nothing sweet allowed.
I, of course, am supporting her and eating the same foods.
Would discreetly eating the lone white chocolate magnum choc ice I found in the freezer this morning, to remove temptation, count as "supporting her"?

The DOJ was supposed to redact identifying data for Epstein victims. Not only did they NOT redact identifying data for the victims, they redacted the names of the rapists and killers! They broke the law. Again. When is Pam Bondi being impeached?

I'm thinking of looking at the scholastic book club model - a catalogue you pick titles from.
Something that changes per quarter or season.

I'm looking at making an indie distribution company for indie books and idk if a model for that exists already, but if anyone has information on how indie book stores order (before I contact a bunch) that would be cool.
I'm specifically looking at Naarm/Melbourne but all info is good info

Wouldn't it make more sense to legalize 2 or 3 million of these non-criminal immigrants and collect billions in tax revenue rather than paying billions of taxpayer dollars to round them up and house them in detention centers and transport them to their home countries?
