I’m disgusted by the amount of hate Pam Bondi is getting at the moment.

It’s nowhere near enough, and we can do better.

Nick lied and people died.

It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.

Another day, another sex offender in Trumps regime.

Your DHS reform demands are the bare minimum and if you cave (again), you will fail to meet this moment (again).
No compromise.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

For context:

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

A post by Roxane Gay that discredits Trump's claims that a "staffer" posted the racist photo of the Obamas.

Truth.

Don't cave. Shut. It. Down. bsky.app/profile/chic...

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Yes, Donald Trump doesn't deserve to have his name on anything—except maybe a landfill or indictment—but think of how *delightful* it is going to be to crowbar his name off of buildings before bulldozing his tacky architecture.

Good Q @SarahKSilvermam

Left: Why were Zuckerberg, Musk and Theil having dinner with Epstein in 2015? They must all have known he pled guilty to child abuse in 2008...

Right: Zack Polanski criticising the UK gov for repeated contracts with Theil's Palantir

Trump’s Plan to Nationalize Elections Using Fabricated Claims of Foreign Interference A recent history of Donald's attempts to conjure up foreign election interference in an effort to seize voting machines and control elections in the name of national security.

On the Emails Between Jeffrey Epstein and Noam Chomsky I am heartsick. As a young boy, I experienced horrific sexual violence, which I have written about before and which continues to mark me even decades later. It means that I cannot tolerate anyone who ...

Yup. Can't dismiss this or excuse it.

So painful to see Chomsky behave this way.

If by rein, you mean abolish, then yes, we do.

AOC: Why haven’t so many people been prosecuted? Why are Pam Bondi and the DOJ continuing to hide the majority of the Epstein files, which they admit contain even more direct evidence of genuinely shocking crimes and abuse of women, minors, and increasingly men…

The GOP is going to be known as The Guardian of the Pedophiles by the end of the week.

They're too far deep with Trump.

All the way up.

All the way down.

Alex Pretti’s death ruled homicide after Minneapolis shooting by federal agents The death of Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis man killed by federal agents, has been ruled a homicide, the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office said.

The death of Alex Pretti has been ruled a homicide, the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office said. Pretti was shot Jan. 24 during a chaotic encounter with federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez were named as the two officers who fired at Pretti.

ICE is now claiming it can arrest people without a warrant.

This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant.

Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.

Sounds like a federal tax strike is in order.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

The "worst of the worst," according to Trump.

Luckily, 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father (both asylum seekers) are headed back to Minnesota after a federal judge ordered their release yesterday.

Do not forget this regime's cruelty and lawlessness. [Cartoon by Dennis Goris]

The trauma this boy has endured is appalling. Abolish ICE.

Will you though? The house and senate leadership is woefully lacking. I mean, you’re negotiating for them not to deport citizens. So, negotiating with the GOP to follow the law?

Jesus fucking Christ, Democrats’ deal with Republicans is just politely asking Republicans to follow the law? We’re so fucking cooked.
