Hey @osuwexmed.bsky.social are you ready to take the name of a serial rapist and sex trafficker off of your school yet?
Jeffrey Epstein’s emails show that then-Ohio State University Board of Trustees chairman Leslie Wexner was served in a Jane Doe lawsuit against the deceased sex trafficker in 2009.

Donald Trump was also served in the lawsuit.

Epstein later settled.

Ohio State should have known about Wexner's Epstein problems by Sept. 18, 2009
Epstein files show that then-Ohio State Board of Trustees chairman Leslie Wexner was served in a Jane Doe lawsuit against the since-deceased sex trafficker in 2009.

My "ICE is a legitimate law enforcement agency" statement has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my statement.
Homan: "ICE is a legitimate federal law enforcement agency. We're not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process."

Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them.

I remember being taught in high school social studies that destroying evidence would be considered evidence of guilt.

I wish it were true for governments, but we do not impeach enough justices.
The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death.

The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post.

This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide.

This is devastating for women’s rights, LGBT rights, and human rights generally. It’s also a shocking encroachment on free speech, especially coming from a nation that, not so long ago, promoted the values of free speech, freedom & democracy overseas.

New from Nansi Guevara: "We know where the checkpoints are. We warn one another when the Border Patrol is nearby. In public space, we adjust our bodies and behavior, attempting to go unnoticed, offering smiles of compliance as a way to disarm."

There have been many violent murders at the hands of Border Patrol agents. This is not an aberration but part of a broader federal apparatus built and refined over decades.

I know some people say that Fuentes is like this because he is closeted and ashamed of his ethnic heritage. I also believe that he is closeted and ashamed of his ethnic heritage. But please understand that he is like this SOLELY because he is a monster devoid of any moral integrity.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.
