Every day it becomes more & more apparent how Epstein got away with everything he got away with for so long. There’s so many rich & powerful people connected to him that it’s mind blowing & sick AF.
I’m pretty sure we need some states to step in & start charging people so pardons are off the table.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Bad Bunny answered vile comments from Trump’s administration and followers with a performance that barely acknowledged their existence. Rather, he invited the audience to celebrate what has been villainized.

I could not be more proud of all the U.S. athletes at the Olympics using their platforms to speak out against the hatred and violence of the Trump regime. We have a Team USA giving us pride in a moment our government is causing us so much pain and embarrassment.
