This is another important story of our times. Consider sharing.
The link to the segment is up...

It's powerful. And may be useful to share with others, including students.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe.

Share it widely.

Repugnant. Full support to Mr. Kim.
Both parties should support this. Using AI to generate a video of a candidate saying something he didn’t say should be illegal. Especially since many voters think it is real. I will condemn any candidate from either party who does this.

This. We're back to a version of this, at the highest levels of government. Vance is scum.

JD's family has spent $35M on vacations.

Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date.

Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term.

ALL WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS.

But you think a single mom getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

I'd take one Tammy Duckworth over 1,000 dickless Scott Perrys.
If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

SMH so hard I'm getting nauseous. Elect a pig, expect fucking pig-like behavior.

We can never live this down, this abomination of a presidency. We just have to make it as short as possible, and try to correct the multitude of wrongs that have been done to our nation, our people.

I haven't kept lots of vintage Esties, but I have a fondness for their pastel 'purse pen' line. The plastic is softer, so you look for cap cracks. When this was up for auction it looked ok, and cleaned up well. The 9668 nib is also a sweet writer, and this 4-1/2" fountain pen has a forever home.

This is all such a bullshit scenario. The real terrorists are shown in the photo below.
Prosecutors ultimately declined to pursue charges against several Chicago protestors after video evidence apparently failed to sustain the original allegations.

Could not agree more!
this is a prime opportunity for democrats to explicitly tell their voters "they say you're a terrorist, but youre just a patriotic american who is trying to get by in this world."

It is NOT supposed to be "President and Benefactor of Some Of the United States".
Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

I prayerfully hope this is on-point.

And setting the ending aside, the bullet points are worth pursuing no matter what.
As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

A bullet list of what made us a fine nation. Time to reclaim.
Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

THIS is the kind of strength I have been hoping to see. I know it is out there, and I hope there is a growing wave of reasoned, responsible pushback and refusal to cower before the most illegitimate regime that has ever pretended to be the government of the United States.
