Breaking News: Trump's attacks on Iran fail to kill everyone on Earth who knows about the Epstein Files.

Firstly, abolish ICE; secondly, prosecute and imprison ICE.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

I missed that Konan v. USPS came out yesterday. This is the case where the Post Office refused to deliver mail to a Black woman. Of course Clarence Thomas, 5-4, says it's okay.

Clarence Thomas is the worst thing to happen to Black people since Roger Taney

β€œIt’s no longer a political calculus. It’s a moral and legal and Constitutional obligation of Congress to [impeach]. It would be a violation of the oath of office for a member of Congress not to push for impeachment when it is possible.”

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works.  On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork.  On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with β€œI am a wild beast.”

Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.

Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

It’s one thing to be a Trump sycophant, but it’s a whole other thing to participate with complete complicity in the coverup of the most heinous of crimes against children.
Trump will die of old age & never seen accountability, but this one? She must be held accountable for her multitude of crimes.

Donald is having quite the Trumpertantrum after the SCOTUS declared his massive tariff program illegal…

Even some of his pet Justices ruled against them.

RFK Jr. last month: "I believe that glyphosate causes cancer.”

QT: Trump has signed an executive order to increase production of glyphosate, a weed killer thought to cause cancer.

As a Non-Hodgkin’s Cancer survivor, I’m outraged at this Regime’s actions!

Nothing will happen in the U.S. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on Epstein because the system protecting elites is still intact. Powerful friends, immunity deals, and silence shield predators while justice stays a fantasy. #EpsteinFiles #Accountability
