The Epstein files is the shiny object distracting the American public from the growing immigrant gulag archipelago.
Take it from a Trump appointed judge:
“ICE has been deploying its ‘holding rooms’ in a manner that shocks the conscience,” Judge Brown wrote.

Last night, I went to see the powerful documentary From Ground Zero. These 22 short films are harrowing, beautiful, and pierce the heart. Filmed over a year ago, we see Gaza in moments of a kind of digital amber that leaves you breathless and wondering who in the films remains alive. #FreePalestine

Pam Bondi didn’t “whiff” the Epstein files, she deceived the American people, bent the law, and treated his victims like dupes and pawns.
Wiles isn’t saying anything we or Trump supporters don’t know.
These interviews are merely more servings in a buffet of this administration’s deplorability

i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

President Trump sanctioned nine ICC staffers, including six judges and chief prosecutor Karim Khan, barring U.S. entry and prompting banks, tech firms and service providers to close accounts, freeze payments and disrupt ICC operations.
Cut off by their banks and even iced out by Alexa, sanctioned ICC staffers remain resolute
International Criminal Court judges and prosecutors are trying to live and work under the same financial and travel restrictions brought against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Osama bin Laden

In the wake of the Bondi beach mass shooting two incendiary voices will get loud:
1.That this was a Mossad-led false flag operation
2. That global anti-genocide marches are to blame
The voice most needed is that targeted violence against innocent civilians everywhere must stop.
🙏🏻 for the families

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.
Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.
Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

BREAKING: Another avoidable American mass shooting.
Early reports indicate 20 people or more may have been shot at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
It’s never too early to politicize this for a safer America. No other country in the world does this happen so often.

All of these murderous global Robber Barons are linked by corruption and death.
