No, seriously.
The arrival of the automobile in the opening decades of the 20th century led to increasingly deadly conflicts in the street, and the public was generally unsympathetic to motorists or to early attempts to legislate pedestrian behavior.[3][4] In response, the US automobile industry and associated organizations undertook public campaigns to frame pedestrians, newly impugned as jay-walkers, as a problematic element in the new automotive age.[3] The first widely successful criminalization of jaywalking was enacted in Los Angeles in 1925, using legislation drafted by the auto lobby that inspired similar ordinances in other American cities.[3]

A horizontal bar chart titled “Americans back a long list of ICE reforms.” The subtitle explains that the data represents "Net support (favor minus oppose) for Democratic position on each question" in percentage points. The chart shows widespread public support for various ICE reforms based on polling from January-February 2026. The most popular reforms are “Require ICE agents to wear body cameras” at +87 and “Independent investigations of ICE shootings” at +65. A red box highlights the third-highest item: “Require judicial warrants to enter homes,” which has a net support of +50 points. Other notable reforms with high net support (+40 to +49) include: Acceptable to record video of ICE officers making arrests (+49) Unacceptable to use appearance/language to profile residents (+45) Ban ICE from entering schools and churches (+44) Balanced approach to immigration over strict enforcement (+41) Target criminal convictions (+30) Ban agent masks (+26) Withdraw from Minneapolis (+24) Decrease ICE spending (+23) Share arrest locations (+19) Remove Stephen Miller (+18) Impeach Kristi Noem (+16) Lowest Support: Arresting helpful citizens (+10) Most items on the list show positive net support, with the only negative value being “Unacceptable to report suspected immigrants to officers” at -4. Data sources include Quinnipiac, Navigator Research, Data for Progress, Pew Research Center, and YouGov. The image is attributed to gelliottmorris.com (Strength In Numbers).

An email from unknown sender to Jeffrey Epstein, sent on 11 March 2014. "Thank you a fun night... Your littlest girl was a little naughty. Sent from my iPhone"

"...raising fears that long shielded details could now come fully into public view."

Words that raise many more questions than they answer.
This is a transcription of the text in the image: Gandalv ✔️ @Microinteracti1 · 1h 🚨 BREAKING: Breaking reports indicate growing concern among wealthy and powerful individuals worldwide following the launch of extensive investigations into Jeffrey Epstein’s network by authorities in France, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Lithuania. Prosecutors in these countries are pursuing the cases independently and are not expected to restrict or suppress evidence in the manner seen in previous US proceedings, raising fears that long shielded details could now come fully into public view.

Epstein certainly thought he could broker a meeting between the Congressional delegate for the US Virgin Islands, Stacey Plaskett, with whom he was on good terms in 2018, and Senator Chuck Schumer.
This email, released as part of the legal discovery from the Jeffrey Epstein estate, documents a request for political influence involving high-ranking U.S. officials. Transcription From: jeffrey E. jeevacation@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2018 11:01 AM To: Erika Kellerhals Subject: Re: Schumer should not be a problem need to know the=reason and subject. On Wed, Jan 24, 2018 at 12:24 AM, Erika Kel=erhals [redacted] wrote: We have to help Stacey get a meeting with Schumer. Any=thoughts? Erika A. Kellerhals Member Kellerhals Ferguson Kroblin PLLC[1] 9053 Estate Thomas, Suite 101 St. Thomas VI 00802 [redacted] Commentary & Analysis This exchange from early 2018 illustrates Jeffrey Epstein’s role as a "fixer" and political intermediary, even a decade after his 2008 conviction as a sex offender. The Players: Erika Kellerhals: Epstein’s primary attorney in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). She managed his tax-incentive programs and handled many of his local legal and business affairs. Stacey: This is widely identified as Stacey Plaskett, the Delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives for the USVI. Plaskett previously worked at Kellerhals’ law firm and received campaign donations from Epstein and his associates. Schumer: Refers to Chuck Schumer, the U.S. Senator from New York and the Senate Minority Leader at the time of this email. The Request: Kellerhals is asking Epstein to use his personal connections to facilitate a meeting between a sitting U.S. Representative (Plaskett) and a top Senate leader (Schumer). Epstein’s confident response—"should not be a problem"—reveals the level of influence he believed he held over the Democratic leadership. Significance: This email has drawn intense scrutiny as it provides a concrete example of a high-level political meeting being brokered by a convicted sex offender. It highlights the overlap between Epstein’s professional legal team in the Virgin Islands and mainstream U.S. federal politics.

Anyone wanting a sense of what fraction of Jeffrey Epstein's brain was devoted to evil sex stuff and what percentage to everything else should consider the share of images on this dead asshole's **desktop** that had to be blacked out by the FBI.
A screen capture of Jeffrey Epstein's desktop. A large blacked out photo of a naked woman in the center of the screen, showing a Skype call with someone in bed. In the background on the right, a large number of images are on his desktop. About half of them are censored by the FBI. At the right, there is a gmail email client open with a message highlighted.

I regret to inform you that there is another picture.

Here Brett Ratner is pictured with a third girl in a red ball cap and Jean-Luc Brunel, a European modelling bigwig whom Epstein claims procured "over 1000 girls" for him.

Two of the men in this image are now dead.
This photograph, from the collection released as part of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, shows a group of five people seated on a white couch. On the far left, Brett Ratner is seated and smiling at the camera. Next to him is a girl with long blonde hair wearing a grey metallic-knit sweater and light-blue jeans; her face is redacted. He is cuddling her full body, and he has is hand on a pillow over her side. She is seated next to another girl with light brown hair who is sitting on Jeffrey Epstein's lap, which partially obscures him from view. The blonde girl has her hand placed on the chest of the girl sitting on Epstein's lap, touching both of her breasts. The brunette's hand is on Ratner's hand for the picture. To their right, Jean-Luc Brunel is seen laughing while wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans. His head is on the central brunette's shoulder. On the far right is a young girl with long brown hair wearing a red shirt and a pink baseball cap, tucking into the picture. The faces of the three young girls in the image have been redacted with black rectangles. In the background, a wooden shelf holds numerous framed photographs.

I hate to do this, but this picture of Brett Ratner hugging an unnamed brunette is sending me. The sheer amount of evil radiating from this picture is devastating.

N.B. Ratner is the director and co-producer of the movie Melania.
An undated photo released by the Department of Justice from the Jeffrey Epstein files. On a sofa, Jeffrey Epstein (left) sits next to a woman or girl with long blonde hair and sweater whose face is redacted. Next to them, a girl or woman with long brown hair wearing a white tank top, also with a redacted face, is being hugged from behind by director Brett Ratner (right). Ratner wears a white button-down shirt and has his arms around the girl or woman's waist. A shelf with various framed pictures is visible in the background. The brunette looks quite young.

Here's more on the Heterodox academy, what it does and what it's for.

They exist to expand conservative viewpoints in law, psychology, and sociology.
Article from Wikipedia about the Heterodox Academy Heterodox Academy Article Talk Language Download PDF Watch Edit Heterodox Academy (HxA) is a nonprofit advocacy group of academics working to counteract what they see as a lack of viewpoint diversity on college campuses, specifically political diversity. The organization was founded in 2015 by Jonathan Haidt, Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz, and Chris Martin, who each cited a lack of politically conservative viewpoints in their academic disciplines. As of 2025, the organization had approximately 7,000 members in both faculty and non-faculty positions across 22 countries. History edit In 2011, Jonathan Haidt, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia, gave a talk at the Society for Personality and Social Psychology in which he argued that American conservatives were underrepresented in social psychology and that this hinders research and damages the field's credibility.[3][4] In 2014, along with political psychologist Philip Tetlock, social psychologist Lee Jussim and others, Haidt published the paper "Political diversity will improve social psychological science".[5] In 2015, Haidt was contacted by Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz, a Georgetown University law professor, who had given a talk to the Federalist Society discussing a similar lack of conservatives in law and similarly argued that this undermines the quality of research and teaching.[4] Haidt says he was also contacted by Chris Martin, a sociology graduate student who had published a similar paper about a lack of ideological diversity in sociology.[6] Haidt, Martin, and Rosenkranz formed "Heterodox Academy" to address this issue.[7][8][9] Programs and activities edit In June 2018, Heterodox Academy held an inaugural Open Mind Conference in New York City, featuring several academic guests recently involved in campus free speech issues, like Robert Zimmer, Lucía Martínez Valdivia, Allison Stanger, Alice Dreger, and Heather Heying.[16] The organization administers a "Campus Expression Survey", designed to allow professors and college administrators to survey their students' feelings about freedom of expression on campus.[17] Heterodox Academy has advocated for institutional neutrality policies. In February 2024, Heterodox Academy, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression and the Academic Freedom Alliance "released a joint open letter calling for institutional neutrality".[18] In March 2025, Heterodox Academy released a report tracking the adoption of institutional neutrality statements by colleges, which saw a significant increase after the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, ensuing war and campus protests.[19][20] Ideology and reception edit In 2018, the group's website described its mission as encouraging political diversity to allow dissent and challenge errors.[12] In a study responding to Heterodox Academy's contentions of bias against conservative professors, Jeffrey Adam Sachs, a professor of political science at Canada's Acadia University, found that liberal professors were more often dismissed for their speech than were conservative professors. He argued in a Heterodox Academy podcast and elsewhere that the campus free speech crisis was "a myth" and "largely imaginary".[21][22][23] According to Vox's Zack Beauchamp, Heterodox Academy advances conservative viewpoints on college campuses by ignoring the data and arguing that such views are suppressed by left-wing bias or political correctness.[24] In the same 2019 article, Beauchamp argues that advocacy groups such as Heterodox Academy do more to narrow the scope of academic debates than any of the biases they allege.[24] Speaking at Heterodox Academy's conference in 2022, Wesleyan University president Michael Roth, who has advocated for viewpoint diversity in the past, challenged Haidt's assertion that academia had been "taken over" by the progressive left, and said that Haidt had been silent about the threat to academic freedom posed by Donald Trump.[25]

Headline: Newark Archbishop Urges Congress to Defund ICE as 'Lawless' Timestamp: Last updated 1 hour ago Body text: On January 26, 2026, Cardinal Tobin spoke at an online prayer vigil hosted by Faith in Action, challenging people to contact Congress ahead of the January 30 deadline for the DHS appropriations bill that funds ICE. He mourned recent deaths like nurse Alex Pretti, shot by a Border Patrol agent while filming a protest in Minneapolis, and tied his plea to Pope Leo XIV's criticisms of migrant treatment, drawing from literature and Martin Luther King Jr. to advocate a 'culture of life.' Reactions divided online, with supporters praising his stand and critics accusing him of political overreach amid debates over enforcement and deadly incidents.

Whoa. Something is actually HAPPENING, people.

Republican candidate for governor Chris Madel leaves the race over the national GOP's attacks on the state and its people.
Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor's race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP's "stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so." In a surprise video announcement, the Minneapolis attorney said he supported the originally stated goals of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's operation in Minnesota, including the deportation of undocumented immigrants with serious criminal records, but the effort has "expanded far beyond its stated focus on true public safety threats." “United States citizens, particularly those of color, live in fear. United States citizens are carrying papers to prove their citizenship. That's wrong," Madel said.

As Duncan points out, this is how you report on the shooting.
You can't "both sides" a video.

If you do anyway, you are signaling your complicity to both the regime and to all of your readers.
An image containing a paragraph of text from the Economist. The full text reads: THE LATEST shooting by federal agents on the streets of Minneapolis unfolded just after 9am on January 24th. At least half a dozen masked Border Patrol agents were conducting a “targeted operation”, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), when they encountered a man on a part of Nicollet Avenue known as “Eat Street” and tackled him. A video shot from across the street captures the struggle after it had begun. One officer is seen apparently repeatedly punching the man in the head. A gunshot rings out, then another, and finally an agent appears to shoot multiple bullets into the man’s prone body.

However, that's crazy expensive, as *everything* in space is crazy expensive. The ISS uses the ammonia internally in a closed circuit to shuttle heat from where it is generated to the radiators that reject the heat to space.
A simplified schematic showing the major components and flow paths of the External Thermal Control System (ETCS) on board the International Space Station. The ETCS is very similar to the PhotoVoltaic Thermal Control System shown in Figure 5. Starting in the pump module, a pump (green) pushes cool ammonia (blue) to either the electrical distribution systems on the exterior of the ISS or heat exchangers on the habitable modules where heat is picked up from the Internal Thermal Control System (discussed below and shown in Figure 10). The warm ammonia (red) passes through a rotating mechanism called the Thermal Radiator Rotator Joint to radiators where the heat is transmitted to space. The cooled ammonia (blue) returns to the pump module to repeat the cycle. A flow control valve in the pump module allows mixing of warm and cool fluid to adjust the temperature of the loop. An Ammonia Tank Assembly (ATA) performs the role of an accumulator, maintaining the pressure on the fluid line as the liquid expands or contracts through the orbit or year. Unlike the PVTCS, the ETCS has a replenishable nitrogen tank to maintain pressure at the ATA. A fixed-pressure accumulator in the pump module is too small to maintain loop pressures year round, but can maintain stable pressure for short periods if the ATA/NTA combination is unavailable.

Of note is the strategic importance of Greenland to the game, which only admits land and short marine connections for moving troops around the world. Greenland in the game is one of the natural blockade points for building "Fortress Americas", a reliable way to secure continent bonuses.
A stylized world map representing the game board for the strategy game Risk. The map is divided into six color-coded continents: North America (yellow), South America (red), Africa (orange), Europe (blue), Asia (green), and Australia (purple). Each territory is labeled with a name and a number; for example, Greenland is shown in yellow and labeled with the number 5. Light grey lines illustrate the connections between territories, including cross-continental links like the one between Alaska and Yakutsk and the connections between South America and Africa.

Hey, has anyone given thought to the possibility that Trump wants Greenland because he played Risk once and it was highly strategically relevant in his defeat?
A top-down view of a classic Risk board game laid out on a plain white surface. The board features a colorful world map divided into six continents: North America (yellow), South America (red), Europe (blue), Africa (brown), Asia (green), and Australia (purple). Small plastic troop pieces of different colors are positioned across several territories. Grey troops occupy most of Africa; yellow troops are in South America; blue troops are in Greenland and Western Canada; and red troops are spread across much of Asia and Australia. To the right of the board sits a deck of Risk cards and three six-sided dice—one black and two red. The board also includes reference charts for troop reinforcements in the corners.

Formally making special legal rules for an identifiable outgroup based on an immutable characteristic that restricts their and only their rights was the evil of the Aryan Paragraph and later the Nuremberg Laws.
This is a historical document from Nazi Germany, used to illustrate the racial classifications mandated by the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. A historical infographic titled "Die Nürnberger Gesetze" (The Nuremberg Laws). The chart, printed on aged, sepia-toned paper, uses a complex system of circular icons to categorize individuals into "racial" groups and dictate their legal rights, specifically regarding marriage and citizenship. Racial Classifications: The chart uses circles to represent ancestors (grandparents and parents) and the resulting status of the offspring. White circles represent "German blood," and black circles represent "Jewish blood." Deutschblütiger (German-blooded): Shown with four white circles for grandparents. Mischling (Mixed-race) of the 2nd degree: Shown with one black circle out of four grandparents. Mischling of the 1st degree: Shown with two black circles out of four grandparents. Jude (Jew): Individuals with three or four black circles for grandparents. Marriage Regulations: Under each category, the chart uses symbols (like a red cross over two circles) to indicate whether marriages between certain groups are: "Ehe gestattet" (Marriage permitted) "Ehe verboten" (Marriage forbidden) "Ehe nur mit Genehmigung zugelassen" (Marriage permitted only with special state permission) Legal Citations: On the bottom right, the chart cites the foundational legislation for these rules: the Reichsbürgergesetz (Reich Citizenship Law) and the Gesetz zum Schutze des deutschen Blutes und der deutschen Ehre (Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor), both dated September 15, 1935. The graphic serves as a primary source document illustrating the state-sponsored pseudo-scientific and legal framework used to disenfranchise and persecute the Jewish population in Germany.

A screenshot of the Danish news website Politiken from early 2026, highlighting the political and economic crisis between Denmark and the United States.
