The Alleged Trump Victim's Claims about Blackmail Are as Important as Her Claims about Rape - emptywheel One day before Jeffrey Epstein suicided, the woman who claimed Donald Trump had abused her told the FBI that Epstein and Trump had spoken about blackmail in front of her.

"DOJ not only withheld documents documenting a claim that Trump raped a teenager, and with it, a claim that Trump and Epstein discussed blackmail, but they’re still withholding the originals of all that." @emptywheel.bsky.social emptywheel.net/the-alleged-...

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

One thing about these big camp systems is that they inflict a tremendous amount of harm through sheer momentum. When a system is built to be both negligent and punitive, it tends to cause suffering by default.

No country in history that has concentration camps has ever wanted to call them concentration camps. That’s who we are now.

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

It is no accident of language that the presidents’ lawyers do not themselves determine whether he has constitutional authority to act β€” in other words, whether his wars are legal. Instead, they leave that to him. The president β€œcould decide” is the new OLC theory of war powers.

In contexts from Iran to Venezuela, to boat strikes at sea to deportations without process to sending troops into U.S. cities, the President has been claiming the absolute, unreviewable authority to determine whether we are at war, have been invaded, whether there’s a threat. No matter the evidence.

Very important thread. He is not talking like this by accident; it reads like a lawyered response. Unfortunately, the legal theory is that he gets to decide when and how the US gets to use military force and no one can second-guess him.

Authoritarian religious institutions are designed by and for people who want to commit abuse. The abuses are not "sin," in the sense of being a violation of someone's intent. They are the goal, from the beginning.
