If Trump is right -- and the Epstein Files allegations are all a Democratic hoax -- why is DOJ redacting the files into oblivion?

A gross historical fact about white slavery panics (that's all those narratives around trafficking going back 100 years that blame Black & Brown men for the trafficking of white women) is that anytime you dig into actual trafficking cases there's rich white men in the mix as purveyors and customers
A central motif throughout the drug panics has been the specter of predatory drug dealers forcing innocent young white girls into sexual slavery. Swap out “scary young Black guy” with “old rich white man” and suddenly there’s no urgency.

Hanging out with my buddy, Marlowe. Anybody who has ever had a cat knows that I'm in a perilous place here - caught between the proverbial Scylla and Charybdis of a belly skritch and the possibility of having my hand, wrist, and arm mauled.
For the record, this did not end in bloodshed.

Just learned that my Health insurance provider @cignahealthcare.bsky.social may be dropping @thedacare.bsky.social (the second largest provider in the entire state of Wisconsin).
Am I supposed to move my entire family to new providers on a few weeks' notice?
I call bullshit, Theo.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

A President has no power to declare war, but Donald John Trump just did that by declaring blockade on Venezuela.
In international law, such a declaration is equivalent to a declaration of war.
If the GOP wants an escape, they could use that and impeach him before the weekend.
As if.
