Guillermo del Toro could be handed the task of narrating the dictionary on screen and he'd find a way to make it compelling.

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum
(also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

That Oswald killed Kennedy, acting alone, is comprehensively proven beyond all reasonable a doubt, well beyond most historical facts we'd never question. The conspiracy theories did do a lot of real harm, but belief in them is essentially unfalsifiable. It wasn't a failure of the investigation.

Jovan tries SO HARD to be a good person and do the right thing. She slips of course, sometimes in small ways sometimes big. But beneath it all is a sense that justice, peace, equity, are things we have to work for, sometimes suffer for, sometimes even die for.

It’s not your job to defend them. If their name is in the files then they are welcome to provide explanations or defense of their own character. And also, those “innocent people” are not more important than the survivors and justice. Starting to think Mikey is in the files. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Mike Johnson expresses concern that requiring the Epstein files to come out "could ruin the reputations of completely innocent people, such as those who may just have known Epstein but knew nothing of his crimes or whose names he exploited and used to try to get close to his intended victims."

The debate over whether this is 'fascism' is a silly semantic one in which a small minority mean 'completed fascist authoritarianism' and the vast majority mean 'the people in power say and do things that demonstrate completed fascist authoritarianism is what they want to achieve.'

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Authoritarians never, NEVER, solve the problems they yelled about to get them elected. This is always where it goes, and it will continue until enough people are hurt by it to stand against it.
A huge amount of state resources intended to fight crime - from the FBI to state and local police to DEA agents to IRS tax enforcement - have been redeployed to immigration enforcement. It is a great time to be a criminal in America.
“Homeland security agents investigating sexual crimes against children…have been redeployed to the immigrant crackdown…hampering their pursuit of child predators…efforts to combat human smuggling and sex trafficking have languished…”
