Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

Democrats float impeachment after Justice Department’s redaction-heavy Epstein release
Democrats will consider recommending Justice Department officials for prosecution or even pursue impeachment proceedings against them to compel the release of the remaining Epstein documents.

I'm not familiar with this boxer Strickland but apparently he's MAGA and has said he'd love to hang out with Hitler, so this is kinda brutal. Trump can't clear that fucked up low bar.

I am genuinely fascinated how the Trump administration's handling of Epstein punctured his image among bro voters and UFC type dudes. Folks like Theo Von and Rogan began to turn on him almost immediately after that. (Von also criticized Trump on Gaza and Rogan on immigration).

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

So much of Las Vegas is waste and rot there’s a whole sub-industry of YouTuber that tours and explores casinos that are 70-80% closed and just have like a hamburger stand and wall of slots with empty wings and theaters and attractions
The city is full of poor people with nowhere to sleep. Also, empty luxury bedrooms that absorb electricity with nobody in them. The principal industry is tricking addicts into becoming poor

When you break down the actual implications of Labour Party policy, you genuinely have to wonder who exactly Starmer is governing for.
"Are we improving public services that are salient to the swing voter by the next GE? No."
"Are we at least socially liberal enough to keep the metropolitan vote? Also no."
"Are we at least socially liberal enough to keep the metropolitan vote? Also no."
somehow the Starmtroopers are in love with a government incapable of doing radical reform to provide any sort of service improvements that combines it with Blue Labour social politics

I am so tired of seeing this ridiculous transphobe story about "transing gay kids."
It's offensive on multiple levels. It erases a lot of trans people, yes, but also acts like the big threat to GNC gay people is pressure to change genders, when it's punishment and VIOLENCE for our differences.
