Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of the Epstein files.
What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable?
We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

They abducted this person from Mayo Clinic and not even an elected rep has been able to get them the anti-rejection meds they need to not die AFTER AN ORGAN TRANSPLANT.
These are the worst people empowered to do the worst possible things.
I really do not see how we can have a functioning democracy & keep DHS.

A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

49 doses in, 75 pounds down, scale mostly spitting back numbers beginning with 1 for the first time since…. well, certainly the W administration.

48 doses in, 72 pounds down. pretty ready for this cold snap in DC to be over, which it won’t. Felt lack of insulation and mass keenly while shoveling.
47 doses, 71 pounds down, bouncing around some. had some abdominal discomfort this week for the first time in a bit, that was unpleasant and not really obvious what if anything triggered it.

Learned from the Posting Through It podcast just how many MAGA-era influencers turned to politics after failing at more glamorous pursuits — theater, comedy, fashion, TV, movies, music. Knowles, if I’m not mistaken, had dreams of Broadway.
Michael Knowles and the other Daily Wire chuds play act at being celebrities because it’s the thing they actually crave
“You can sense, particularly from characters like Knowles, a cloying desperation to be seen as important, shiny media figures in their own right. They want the glow of stardom, and they hate the people who have it.” www.liberalcurrents.com/none-more-wo...

For many of them, democracy ended when Obama was elected twice and Black Lives Matter rose to prominence.
This is them “fixing” a system that felt broken and newly unsafe to them.

What we all seemingly failed to understand is just how many of our "countrymen" were perfectly willing to resort to treason to end democracy. And all in service of a convicted felon and lifelong conman who wasn't even very good at it.

My family was imprisoned behind barbed wire and armed guards by our own government.
Not for what they did. But because of who they were. I was born in that internment camp.
My family history lives with me every day. It drives me to fight for my neighbors—for their rights and for their dignity.

What’s a TV episode that still makes you laugh out loud on repeat viewings? (I’ll take movies too.)
A few of ours:
Frasier: Nightmare Inn, Ski Lodge, the Seal
Somebody Somewhere: St. Louis Sushi
What We Do in the Shadows: Jackie Daytona
Derry Girls: Rock the Boat, pilot
Insecure: Coachella

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

/6 Most of the people who normalized Jeffrey Epstein after his conviction are not legally liable for child rape.
But I submit they are morally culpable to some degree.
