Let's stop reining in ICE amd abolish it. Follow the model of 50 thousand abolitionist who drove 2 thousand federal martial out of Boston. Next time they occupy a city, we send 100 thousand from neighboring cities and STOP them. Reining in is white supremacist. Don't slow them down, STOP them.

No one tells you that ending generational trauma is a form of self sacrifice. you might end up completely alone. I’d still do it again. There are so many worse things than being alone

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.
She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Schumie won't do it. After all, he's an Israel 1st guy and Epstein was a Mossad asset working the billionaires.
People need to understand the Israel/Epstein/Putin connection.
And, by extension, the Epstein/AIPAC connection.

"Why Is the Media Not Touching Jeffrey Epstein’s Clear Connection to Israel?"
They’re instead focusing on the possibility that Epstein was a Russian asset, writes Prem Thakker for Zeteo.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.
They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Two ops on social media. 1: a massive flood of made up things about the files so people don't know what is true. 2: a flood of argument attacking anyone who states the obvious that Epstein worked for Isthatreal. Those voices say it was R ussia, not Isthatreal, when clearly it was both.

Disgusted by how little the MSM is covering the Epstein files. Thank God for independent media.
