I just published the deepest thing I’ve ever written on the Epstein files...and it explains EXACTLY why they will never fully come out. Not in your lifetime. Maybe never. 👇

Your regular reminder that anyone calling Ukraine a proxy is ignorant or disingenuous. Ukraine has held back Ru military aggression for 11+ yrs completely alone; secured moderate Western aid since 2022 through tireless advocacy; and has now defied US diplomatic pressure to surrender for over 10mo.

Yeah. I just can’t even figure why anyone, left OR right, would say “color revolution” unironically. Do…do they not know the origins? It’s bizarre. But as Jamelle says, it’s just a clear tell that they’ve cooked their brains in bad environments.

It is the birthday in 1949 of the American author and illustrator Jan Brett. If you’ve gotten books for a child in the last 30 years, you know her work. Her titles include "The Mitten," "The Hat," "Gingerbread Baby," and "Who’s That Knocking on Xmas Eve?"
