There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

Man detained by ICE found dead, hanging with hands and feet tiedβ€”attorney The Chinese national died in Pennsylvania in August, but his family's requests for answers from DHS have gone unmet.

My god.

After 4 days in ICE custody, they found the man in a shower stall hog-tied, with a sheet around his neck.

The medical examiner claimed there were other instances of this.

Which means this is not an isolated case.

don't forget that the asset based economy is in control. this (or more likely a more substantial drop) is the first phase. the really weak consumption and labor data will come *after* assets fall

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

Trump’s Epstein Humiliation Grows The president saw defeat and ran. But that doesn’t mean the fight over releasing the files is over.

Trump retreats on Epstein files. Three lessons:

1. It can be easier to fracture the MAGA coalition than get "responsible" Republicans to step up.

2. Democrats should fight rather than find reasons not to fight.

3. Dems need to be anti-elitist not just anti-GOP.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Devastating piece on the human toll of Kavanaugh Stops.

Especially infuriating to know that rich white guys like Brett K can simply close their eyes to the human suffering their racist jurisprudence has unleashed.

Deportations actually _increase_ housing prices because they shrink the construction industry.

The reduction in new houses being built swamps effects from lower demand

She was 17 and a high school junior in Florida. She was working at McDonald’s. And she was living in and out of a homeless shelter.

Hoping to save up to buy braces to fix her teeth, she falsely advertised herself in 2017 as 18 years old on a website that matches men looking for β€œcompanionship” with young women looking to make money.

What followed would set off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of one of the men she would encounter, Representative Matt Gaetz, the Florida Republican.

Had an amazing day celebrating our veterans yesterday in Arizona and honored to have been a guest of the founder of the Anthem Veterans Memorial. What a beautiful concept with the Great Seal being illuminated at 11:11.

Trump bragged about grappling women by the pu**y & barging into rooms of partially dressed, young pageant contestants. A jury concluded he assaulted E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room. So nothing that’s in the Epstein emails is a surprise. It’s just confirmation.

Your weekly warning that one way to bring prices down is to plunge the economy into a demand-loss recession. Belts tighten, demand falls, prices ease - usually. Not what Trump voters wanted, but a sure-fire tactic if you are utterly indifferent to the suffering of tens of millions of Americans.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being β€œnon compliant”

He couldn’t β€œcomply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota
