I know this kind of language is infuriating. They wouldn't be talking this way if they were winning though. A guy like Ogles - who hates the US, who loathes the constitution - is apoplectic about the resistance the regime has met in Minnesota. This is the talk of a bully who's being defeated.

The civility police lose their minds when you accurately describe a racist person as a “racist” but this is nothing. Imagine if a Democrat talked about red states like this.

I cannot emphasize enough how good reviews provide your fave authors with both happiness and algorithmic favor.

Most people find new books via Amazon, and Amazon picks the books they want to show you (in part) from sales velocity and reviews.
"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—"

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

I trust major news organizations, members of Congress, and public interest groups are publicizing their secure tip lines so DOJ and FBI employees with knowledge of political interference in the Epstein files review process, can explain safely and confidentially what they saw.

Excellent check-in. One of the most interesting aspects to me is the defectors.

Not only did #TeslaTakedown make opposing the regime fun, visible, and cool, but it also helped spark Musk's fit of defection, which was mainly for show, but opened the floodgates on Epstein.

I’m not even going to publish a copy of Trumps comments about Reiner and his wife. But occasionally he reminds me that he is simply one of the worst, most degenerate individuals who has ever existed in American public life. Hard to think of any more vicious, vile and sociopathic.

Can There Be Human Rights in a Security-Obsessed World?

77 years ago, the UDHR proclaimed all humans “born free and equal in dignity and rights,” without distinction of any kind. But human rights and dignity are not being respected in the US under ICE. Pls share:

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison
