Of course, all that stuff in the files between Epstein and Bannon doesn’t bother Donnie, who goes out of his way to pay tribute to Bannon today.

“I cannot, of course, deny that these men are surprised that this is the law; they really are surprised that there is any such thing as law.”

- Prosecutor Robert H Jackson, Nuremberg opening address.

Child sex trafficking rings have always been illegal. These people have no idea what’s coming.

Joe Manchin is in the Epstein files.

Sloppy redactions in Epstein documents are traumatizing survivors An abuse survivor whose sensitive personal information was released in latest drop calls the Justice Department’s mishap “profoundly distressing.”

“MS NOW’s initial review found more than 40 known or suspected survivors’ identities were revealed in some manner in the files produced on Friday.”

“Those failures, she continued, constitute ‘what may be the single most egregious violation of victim privacy in one day in United States history.’”

I had the same reaction today after the last few weeks.

For the record: I will not send another cent to Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller while the department they run is shredding the Constitution and murdering American citizens in the streets.

A two-week extension is two weeks too long. I’m voting no.

Why a Scared 5-Year-Old Boy Shook Our National Conscience What the image of Liam Ramos, grabbed in Minnesota and thrown in detention in Texas, means for our democracy.

"Two clients Lawyer Eric Lee visited last week, a boy and a girl who are twins, turned 5 in the detention center....The twin 5-year-olds, and their family members who are 9, 16, and 18, have been there for an appalling eight months."

Actually that’s not a crime. There is no Good Samaritan law. Aiding and abetting requires actually assisting in the crime itself, not just seeing something and doing nothing.

What you want is COPWATCHING. The cameras turned on THEM.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

Amen to this whole thread.

“It’s just weird to see a toddler in a pink onesie getting their eyes washed out from tear gas, you know?”

The White House cover up continues.

It's so grim that ICE are out murdering and kidnapping and the Trump admin is like "yes this is great we're gonna do more of this and livestream it, let's get some camera crews out to film this."

and Democrats are like "OK but we need more money for body cameras if we're gonna keep funding this"

Scathing end to the opinion allowing Haitians to remain on Temporary Protected Status. Well done.

Thank the gods. Springfield OH is rejoicing I’m sure.

People have been shouting for years that no one should be a billionaire, that wealth on that level is personally poison and societally catastrophic, and now we have millions of terribly written emails demonstrating in the clearest terms that every one of those shouts was impossibly correct.

Yep. CLAW IT BACK.

And PS. It IS a crime to have sex with a minor.

Christ, these people.

We have all seen the videos of Trump partying with Epstein. That’s what this is about.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’ Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

Are you mansplaining to me how the block button works?

(I just blocked two of you. See ya.)

perpetrating sexist tropes against women for whom we have plenty of other descriptors and reasons for outrage.

Older white women especially: cut that shit out. Sexism is still sexism even when it’s against people you hate, and you’re replicating systems that got us here when you do it.

when they came home. Jeffrey Epstein’s victims were slandered as whores including by Epstein himself.

I don’t give a good goddamn if Melania was a sex worker, though there are *strong* indications in the files that she herself was trafficked by Epstein.

I care about whether we’re going to continue

You know who honestly pisses me off the most right now, apart from the obvious fascists?

Women who think it’s ok to call other women whores. No matter who they are. Yes even if they’re married to the president.

In the wartime rape cases I handled, the women and girls taken were callee whores

LFG

The Dilley detention center should be shut down immediately. Because of the close-quarter conditions at Dilley, lack of prompt medical response and capacity, and lack of expertise with diseases such as measles, Dilley is not equipped to combat any spread.
