DOGE got our Social Security information and bank account data. Palantir has access to passport, Global Entry, TSA privileges. As in the Hamdmaid’s Tale, the Trump regime can now control every one of us by locking up our bank accounts and revoking access to travel. This is war. None of us are safe.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Newsrooms across the world should be treating the Epstein files as a top-tier story.
If coverage is being sidelined, that editorial choice is worth paying attention to.

Quote from Trump just minutes ago:

"The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting."

In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

Trump is a violent, vindictive, sadistic rapist. Releasing the names and photos of victims is violence. It is a threat.

“If there is complete impunity now, it will spread, and it will be far, far worse. Even regular police will say, ‘You know what? They can do it, I can do it.’”

Most presidents seek to unify the country after a national tragedy. Trump stirs up and tries to exploit deadly violence any chance he gets.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Trump’s DOJ revealed the names of Epsteins’s victims. See their intentional transgression for what it is: This is violence. This is a threat.
“A review of 47 victims’ full names on Sunday found that 43 of them were left unredacted in files that were made public by the government on Friday, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Several women’s full names appeared more than 100 times in the files. “

It's been 10 years of watching him cry like a baby at 1:00AM about people talking about him. His supporters think this is normal behavior. And now he's threatening to sue Trevor Noah? We know you were on the island dude. He's such an infant and I can't wait until we have an adult in charge again.

“There is no conceivable degree of institutional incompetence sufficient to explain the scale, consistency, and persistence of the failures that occurred —particularly where the sole task ordered by the Court and repeatedly emphasized by DOJ was simple: redact known victim names before publication,”
