Students shouldn't lose their rights when arriving at school.
And parents shouldn't have to worry that their child will be questioned by the police without their knowledge.

Stop the abuse of the *one thousand survivors* now. Epstein stole their youth.
Allow their future to have some peace.
🚨This DOJ/admin is further abusing these survivors.

This dramatically enhanced pressure on Europe/Denmark and the new outrageous sanctions on info researchers coming at a time when Putin is escalating his physical attacks on Ukraine suggests that the US is now *coordinating* with Russia to weaken Europe and Ukraine.

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.
They’re again advocating against Denmark when it comes to Greenland

I just taught my lecture course on mid-20th c US history, which starts with Harding and concludes with Nixon.

For the first time, I had to pause and stress that those scandals were actually shocking at the time and, what’s more, that Americans actually demanded people be held accountable.
All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

~ How did they lose his body? Really

Remember the horrible story in the Epstein files about the limo driver who met a survivor of Trump and Epstein who was afraid for her life if she reported it and was then found shot to death?

Venezuela, Iran and Nigeria are all in Trump’s gunsights. Turns out that together, the 3 countries also hold almost a third of the world’s oil reserves.

Canada, aka Trump’s “51st state,”holds an additional 10 percent.

When folks are surprised I’m not eager to run for office again, i assume they’ve never sat in on call time.
Candidate fundraising call time is one of the most demoralizing, radicalizing experiences in politics.

this is a really incredible thing to fully consider
It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

Everyone should read this week’s WSJ story on Trump selling pardons. It’s some of the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen—you can literally corner him at one of his lame parties and walk away with a pardon. How is this not the biggest story in the country?

Merry Christmas to the nice. 🎄

The Epstein files are sorting out the naughty. Here’s hoping they rot in prison one day. And it’s clear many of the authorities who still protect them to this day deserve to rot right along with them.
