the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women β€” and interactions with them β€” through the lens of sex

It is def the best true crime show. The way it presents cases is done very well and usually without being super sensationalized.

Amazon pulls all screenings of "Melania" from a Portland movie theater after it displayed a marquee urging locals to see the movie to help them "know" and "defeat" their "enemy."

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc β€” with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets.

Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract.

And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts.

Always follow the money.

A link to SAUSA Julie Le's admission that ICE & DOJ haven't released individuals who were ordered released because no one in the entire system has responded to her repeated entreaties to get the individuals released.

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan.

It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

After paying $40M for the Melania movie, Bezos is firing hundreds of Washington Post reporters who tell us actual facts.

All while turning the editorial board into a billionaire-defense operation.

Too often, the billionaires who control our biggest media outlets are selling out our country.

She’s been a lawyer for just four years and at the DOJ since 2025??? And she’s going to be the THE United States attorney for New Jersey? Comically insane.

To give u an idea of how powerful men protect each other, remember Moira Donegan's "Shitty Men in Media" list? Here are former Paris Review Editor Lorin Stein (who got fired for being named), Michael Wolff, & Epstein discussing backing Stephen Eliott to supress MeToo

I have been doing investigative reporting on misconduct for years & it got harder and harder to do over time. Of course I blamed myself to an extent. But yeah, anyway, the plutocratic class & their minions destroyed the media & what remained formed up like Voltron to protect the worst of the worst.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
