Ava Cordero was 16 when Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted her.
When she came forward in 2007, the New York Post outed her, mocked her identity, and called her a liar.
If she had been believed, over a thousand victims might have been spared.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

The only reason you go to the mattresses to keep the masks on is because you know people are gonna find pardoned J6ers and guys on those sex offender lists who couldn't get jobs elsewhere amongst the ranks
Rep. Kennedy: Will you commit to immediately unmasking every ICE agent and requiring them to wear standard uniforms with identifiable badges?
ICE Chief Lyons: No.
Rep. Kennedy: Your answer is completely unacceptable.

Thinking back to the ivermectin delusion days, I wonder if anyone written a take about how hiding their faces behind masks proves that ICE agents are *brave* — because a few years ago a lot of these same people were terrified that having a scrap of cloth on their faces would asphyxiate them.

A lot of "Dudes Rock" movies are also "Dudes Suck" movies, I'd say. Like "The Thing." That's definitely both in one.
OK, we're all familiar with the concept of "Dudes Rock" movies
I would like to propose a counterpart: "Dudes Suck" movies
Great films with nearly no women in them — but which are ultimately about how certain kinds of Dudes, when left to their own devices, really Suck

The ivermectin stuff is *so stupid*. It’s a garden variety veterinary parasiticide that’s been in use about half a century in numerous species.
I guarantee if it had magical anti cancer properties *in any species at all* we would have noticed by now!

A year ago, we were on the cusp of turning many cancers into chronic rather than terminal diseases through immunotherapy and mRNA vaccines. Today, we're working through the curative qualities of a magical horse paste instead.

Many burns alleged to be from CS gas turn out to be actual thermal burns (2nd degree, with blistering at times) from getting too close to the grenade. This is one reason why I tell people to never try to pick them up.

So, TLDR: Do not try to neutralize tear gas or pepper spray on your skin or in your eyes. You may end up doing more harm than good, especially your eyes.

Some people clearly but wrongly think that the burning sensations from CS tear gas or OC pepper spray are because they are "Acidic". Acids burn, as we all know. But tear gas and pepper spray are not acidic and using antacids to react to things that are not acids is silly.
