To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

If Democrats ever get power again there needs to be a proper reckoning. Criminals need to be indicted, prosecuted and convicted for trying to subvert our democracy and rights for Trump.

There is no room for Merrick Garlands and milquetoast centrists anymore.

You need accountability.

You may have warm feelings for Mickey Mouse and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but the reason Kimmel is off TV is that Disney surrendered to fascist extortion.

A sign at a protest reads β€œyou lost” next to a Confederate flag, β€œyou lost” next to a Nazi flag, and β€œyou’re next” next to a MAGA hat.

Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

Ha ha ha ha! The US Code! There'll be a kerfuffle for a while and then she'll be gone. They know they can get away with it and they'll push ahead. No offense personally, Stephen, but that's what's been happening in most cases. Hope I'm proven wrong. And I'm with you!!!!

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

250 years ago tonight: Paul Revere's ride, made famous by Longfellow in 1861 reminding us to fight for freedom.

LISTEN, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year

β€œThey walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their citizenship status. According to the conductor, who has worked nearly 40 years on that route, this was a first. In all his decades of service, federal agents have never boarded his train like this.”

The modern US Republican Party may be the most openly, brazenly, and shamelessly hypocritical group of people to have ever existed in human history.

And "CRIMINAL REPUBLICANS!" None of this happens without the support and approval of ALL the trump-fluffers throughout the country. If we don't take them down as well, they'll just find someone else to take his place.

Americans' biggest mistake--made by legal experts and us commoners for the past 10 years--is that there's this "sky referee" who'll swoop down and preserve&protect our democratic rights & norms. Not so! That is done by flesh and blood humans on the ground. Republicans do not care about norms now
