I can still remember the days when Trump was only in the Epstein files 38,000 times instead of over 1,000,000. Oh wait that was yesterday.

She endured the embarrassment of a public hearing and impeachment of her husband over a blow job, 11 hours of testifying about her emails...she don't give a fuuuuuuuuck

And they know it, and they're terrified

β€œMr. President, what would you say to sex abuse survivors of Epstein who haven’t seen justice” - Kaitlan Collins (Journalist)

β€œYou know, I’ve never seen you smile” - Donald Trump (President)

EVERY survivor heard this.

When I do promotional events for my book, John Candy: A Life In Comedy, people often ask me to identify, out of the hundreds of interviews I did for the book, who were the most significant. Without hesitation, I tell them, Catherine O’Hara.

44 days past the legal deadline, the DOJ still hasn’t released the full Epstein files.

That’s not a delay. It’s defiance.

They know what’s in them. What they’re weighing now isn’t review. It’s the fallout.

With more #Epsteinfiles finally dropping, it’s as good a day as any to reshare my essay about what Epstein-circle and other survivors like me deserve now. Hint: blow up the cycle to save others. That is our obsession.

Please read if you can (note: graphic in parts; honest in every sentence):

Jim Pattison won't sell U.S. warehouse proposed as new ICE facility | CBC News Jim Pattison Developments has announced it will not sell an industrial building in Ashland, Va., that was set to be turned into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing facility.

Turns out that you can simply chose not to sell your warehouse and prevent it from becoming a detention center

All of the most damning testimony is in this document that has not been taken down…. What made them take down that one and not this?? (I don’t have time to sift through but maybe a good challenge for someone!) www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

A black-and-white photograph of a group of women standing outdoors in front of a stone building with an arched doorway. The women are dressed in early 20th-century clothing, including long coats, dresses, and wide-brimmed hats. Several women are holding flags on poles, and one woman near the center is holding a small booklet or pamphlet. The group is arranged in a loose line, facing the camera, with expressions ranging from neutral to smiling. The stone architecture fills the background.

On this day in 1916, Manitoba granted women the right to vote in provincial elections. It was the first province to give women the right to vote. Asian women did not get the vote until 1948, while Indigenous women were given the vote in 1952.

Food, Beverage, & Pharmacy - The Jim Pattison Group The food and beverage divisions of The Jim Pattison Group has been helping to feed families for 100 years.

If you're a Canadian who hates everything going on with ICE south of the border and feeling powerless to do anything, one step would be to stop supporting any Pattison Group businesses. This includes Save-On Foods, Choices Market, Urban Faire, Oceans Seafood, and other brands. And let them know why.

The continued detention of 5‑year‑old Liam Ramos is a moral failure of staggering proportions. We’re watching a government justify the unjustifiable: the incarceration of a child who poses no threat to anyone.

We cannot normalize this. We cannot shrug. We cannot scroll past it.

Demand his release.
