The US Virgin Islands have their own territorial court system, and any crimes committed there may be territorial crimes, not federal crimes.

The prosecution of such crimes would not need US DOJ nor White House permission to proceed.

Epstein Island is in the US Virgin Islands.

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000.

Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600.

The US must end its complicity.

Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

This is a Super Hero. Rep. Cory Booker.
Want to see the MPs here putting up a good fight against cuts to the most vulnerable and hand outs to the rich.

My youngest may have said The Goonies Is an old people thing.
I may have just screamed F**k You! at her.
She may be feeling sorry but who am I trying to kid.
Grrr.

You're damn right I am virtue signaling. Maybe if you had any virtues, you'd understand they're something to be proud of.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Dear Government and Press.
Autism is neurodevelopmental. A form of neurodivergence. It is not a mental health condition, or behavioural condition, or a learning disability.
It concerns me that people in charge want to slash benefits but apparently haven't the slightest idea what we are.

A teenager is still a child.

Just because that child looks older.

Just because society is racist and strip Brown and Black children of their child status as a way to persecute them.

Does not negate that teenagers are children and deserve our protection.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

Planes fall out of the sky. Children die from measles. Billionaires run the government. DEI has been replaced by DAF.

Small transistor radio in black casing. Dial and speaker on front. Control wheel on side.

Remembering my first transistor radio. I got it for Xmas.
Hidden under blankets, mono earphone clamped in my ear and the aerial extended. Listening to the police, shipping and Radio Luxemburg.
Always struggled to sleep but itwould help.
Couldn't find a photo of the one I had. This was the closest.
