/7 I don’t think these people encouraged Epstein to rape more children. I don’t think Epstein needed encouragement.

But they did send him an unmistakable message: raping children is not a deal-breaker for notable, powerful and influential people to have a relationship with you.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

I’m so glad you went. I had many people ask me - “is it safe? Should I leave my phone and ID at home? Do I need an exit strategy?”

We’re building this bizarre and paranoid civic culture based almost entirely on miasmatic online fear endlessly feeding itself. Selma marchers didn’t even mask!
Online security theater posting made me really afraid about having my phone or showing my face before going to a no kings protest and then when I got there it was a great time and my mom was taking pictures of everything lol. I felt ridiculous because I almost didn’t go people made it sound so risky

I don’t think this is a particularly hot take. As we keep telling a particular federal agency, wearing a mask generally indicates cognizance of guilt and an intent to do something illegal. Protest works best when done confidently and unashamedly
An entire generation of people raised on social media simply do not have an understanding of how the media, protests, and surveillance work.

My hottest take is that masks at protests are cowardly and have done absolutely nothing but make all protests themselves look unserious to neutral parties.
Anyone who is cagey about who they are or what they’re doing, do not trust. Real journalists exist in a kind of social compact where they tell us their role and their rules, they respect our rules, and in exchange for that they get access. Almost all of them are extremely scrupulous about this

Q: What was Tulsi Gabbard doing an election center in GA?

TRUMP: She's working very hard on trying to keep the election safe. As you know, they got into the votes. She got a signed judge's order. You're gonna see some interesting things happening. They've been trying to get there for a long time.

Everyone wants to use data centers (where do you think this post lives?) but nobody wants them in their backyard. So like many things they’ll end up in poor communities where people can least afford to reject them.
The Madison suburb of DeForest announced it will not move forward with a proposed $12 billion data center, saying the project is “not feasible.”

It is wild to me that a military incursion to steal another country’s resources so the president can have a personal slush fund in Qatar is like the 5th most scandalous thing currently happening.
this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough
