Venezuela, MN, Greenland, etc, are not "distractions" from Epstein or anything else. They are all connected in that they are the fruits of unqualified and unstable people given absolute power and wielding it in ways that profit them and hurt others. It's not a conspiracy, it's an ethos.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

The news about Harlequin translators getting fired en masse?
You should care about that. They're doing it there because they think nobody gives a shit about romance and so it's fine to experiment with it first.

Reminder that in June, 2016, a suit (w/witnesses) was filed against Trump re: his repeated raping of a 13 year-old child at an Epstein party.
(She wasn't a "teen," in anything but the most technical of senses. She was a 7th, maybe an 8th grader.)
We've known he was a child rapist THIS WHOLE TIME.

They can call anyone “illegal” and declare their documents fake. If there isn’t due process for everyone, there is no due process for anyone.

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.
