The FBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, in contrast to every other investigator who spent any time reviewing the released documents.

No lie.

No, Ms. Little, it is most definitely not your imagination. The sky is, indeed, falling.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Hey Trump an Republicans .

Why the Trump administration is holding millions of dollars from Venezuelan oil sales in a Qatari bank | CNN Business Hundreds of millions of dollars that the United States is raising from the sale of Venezuelan oil is being sequestered in Qatar. It’s an indirect path that could speed the flow of much-needed money to...

Maybe for the same reason I don't see NPR listed when I searched for this story. Passive compliance 🙄

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Poll: Two-thirds of Americans say ICE has 'gone too far' in immigration enforcement A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds a jump in disapproval of the agency among Democrats and independents, but Republicans are standing by ICE and the president.

"One-third of respondents continue to support a federal secret police force, despite the recent murders of two white US citizens."
There, fixed it for you.

Federalizing voting machines would have to be done over my dead, bloodied body.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

Attacked her, for not smiling.

If this is happening on US soil, what's going on in El Salvador's CECOT?

Oh cool, you're on threads? That's what I'm hanging on by

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

The guy's avatar is a penis with flames coming out of the balls. Yeah, Elon, we know you have problems.

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

We started ahead in the votes but then they started counting them

This is not a bug.

This is a feature of concentration camps.

Don’t say, “The most corrupt administration in America history.” There is no comparison between Trump, on the one hand, and eg Grant, Harding, or Nixon on the other. Nixon’s worst day in office was 100x better than Trump’s best day. The relevant comparisons are to non-American presidents in authoritarian societies with indeed media. Trump’s scale of stealing and bribe-taking had never been remotely paralleled in any democratic country ever before.

Hispanic names. I'm certain that has nothing to do with how readily they were released. 🙄

I want to dox the middle school teacher who told me that we live in the best country in the world because we're free.
