A Turnau Life

What Jamie said 👇🏽

Burchett really thought he had something clever here

A large, solid black bird (looks like a blackbird) occupies the left and bottom portions of the frame, facing right. A grey bird (pigeon-like) is inverted and nestled within the curve of the black bird's neck and back is the head of the grey bird, facing left. Had an interlocking composition which has yin and yang style to it. Title of the piece is Night and Day, I think.

UN panel says Epstein abuses may constitute ‘crimes against humanity’ Experts say newly released documents show the need for an independent investigation into Epstein's sex-trafficking ring.

Trump: It’s a hoax. We should move on.

Trump’s DOJ: There’s nothing to investigate.

The UN: The revelations suggest a global criminal enterprise…a number of the abuses meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity.

“If this guy isn’t impeached and removed, what’s the point to the whole Constitution? You can’t have a fucking criminal running the government for his own benefit screwing the people. And that’s what we have.”

This was earlier…

‘Residential protesting’ could be a crime in Minnesota under new GOP proposal A bill that’s backed by a coalition of GOP lawmakers set to be proposed at the start of the upcoming session would make “residential protesting" punishable under Minnesota law.

The GOP is once again showing its disdain for the Constitution.

So they drove a 2 mo old baby to the brink of death and then deported him as quickly as possible so Kristi Noem & DHS doesn’t get blowback if the child’s health worsens. Reminds me of what North Korea did to Otto Waimbier under Trump 1.0.

To unnecessarily deport a sick baby and his entire family is heinous. My staff and I are in contact with Juan’s family.

This is just thing that should be released with names.

Hey so, can Congress please do something about the DOJ STILL breaking the law with the Epstein files?

At some point law either matters or it doesn’t.

FBI will not provide the BCA access to evidence gathered from Pretti shooting, BCA says Minnesota criminal investigators have again been denied access to evidence and other materials collected by federal authorities after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, state officials said Monday.

FBI refusing to share Alex Pretti shooting evidence with state investigators. "BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said Monday that the FBI formally notified the state on Friday that it won’t grant the access." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Donald Trump is a vexatious litigant. He's made a career out of suing people, often for defamation of character. He once even sued someone because they called him a millionaire instead of a billionaire.

But he's never sued anyone for calling him a pedophile.

Why?

Watched Colbert’s interview with Talarico. Worth your time. Up to 1.5 million views on YouTube.

There is a sexual predator in the White House. The Epstein files,

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

"Just making s**t up" — David Roberts sounds off on the EPA "To say members of Congress didn’t anticipate a specific pollutant is just f**king comical."

It appears that I am unable to discuss the EPA's current course of action without considerable cursing.

Note: DHS has repeatedly claimed the agency "does NOT raid churches."

It's unclear what they mean by "raid," but @rns.org already tracked at least 10 reports *by last August* of apparent federal agents conducting enforcement activity on church grounds or nearby.

There were videos and photos.

Frederick Wiseman, 96, Penetrating Documentarian of Institutions, Dies

Frederick Wiseman, RIP — and thanks — few filmmakers have come closer, in any form, to seeing and making us see the vital drama, strangeness, harshness and comedy of our existence in society and its systems than he did in his many masterpieces

There is no constitutional right of law enforcement to detain me, throw me to the ground, and then put five bullets in my back while masked and unidentified.

There is a right to vote.

Still can’t even get all democrats on board to impeach Secretary Noem.

Congress needs to stop this. That’s their job.

Me, to the MAGAs still sticking with Trump:

Shapiro admin tells ICE to drop plans for PA detention centers ICE detention centers planned for Berks and Schuylkill Counties would burden residents and possibly violate state legal requirements, officials say.

"In Pennsylvania, the Shapiro administration is warning federal officials that it will not issue required state permits for two planned immigration detention centers..."

a man is sitting in a dark room talking to another man . Alt: Hoban “Wash” Washburne, played by Alan Tudyk, from Serenity 2005, says "Watch how I soar." sitting in the pilots seat in the Firefly class ship, Serenity.

I am still, after 21 years, very upset that Wash died.

After 70 days of ICE surge actions, Minnesotans grapple with the impact — The Minnesota Star Tribune The weight of the federal government has borne down on Minnesota in innumerable ways.

Let’s be honest, Minnesota was brutalized…

Polls show cratering trust in ICE in Minnesota & nationally. Two-thirds of Minnesotans viewed ICE negatively & believed federal agents’ tactics went too far, according to poll, nearly 60% blamed Trump administration for unrest.
