Harvard Hillel Sought Donations From Epstein In 2010, 2011 After Conviction | News | The Harvard Crimson Former Harvard Hillel leaders personally solicited donations from convicted sex offender Jeffrey E. Epstein in 2010 and 2011, according to emails released Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Leaders of the Harvard Hillel and Hasty Pudding student groups worked with E*stein (or at least tried to):

Epstein Gave $225,000 More to Hasty Pudding Than Previously Known | News | The Harvard Crimson The Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770 received at least $225,000 more in donations from convicted sex offender Jeffrey E. Epstein than was previously known, according to documents released by the Depart...

I think it's fair to say that nearly every corner of Harvard has been indirectly or directly impacted by E*stein.

From student groups to faculty appointments to research funding, you can't point to one single thing because there isn't one single thing. There are many things. A system if you will.

At my MN precinct caucus tonight, a resolution calling on ICE to be more professional & follow the law got all Nays, but an "Abolish ICE" resolution got a unified resounding "AYE".

All else aside, it’s really weird to hear someone say that Occupy in the U.S. was the first time β€œpeople from the Internet” showed up to do on-the ground activism - uh, what about Iran in 2009? Or the entire Arab Spring (which began well before Occupy)?

"The system sucks," or what a federal lawyer's comments really tell us about the Trump admin Julie Le's comments are shocking, but they are a problem of the Trump admin’s own making. And it goes way beyond one lawyer new to the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office.

like he was there for the foundations of Gamergate, Bannon's push to turn the GOP far-right nationalist, possibly intentionally exposing Bill Gates to an STI to get leverage over him, Trump witnessing a baby being killed, etc

and this is ON TOP of the coverups of the child rape and trafficking!

as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

This is the energy of every woman who has been stalked or doxxed by an ex for daring to exist.

Is it surprising that it's the federal govt?

Yes. But that's what happens when you let 4chan run the govt

Look at the elected officials in Congress on the democratic side compared to the Republican side. Then pretend a very involved complicated legislation had to be written. Healthcare, infrastructure, etc. Is it not pretty obvious no Republican is intellectually capable of a job like that?

Yuh-Line Niou was one of the electeds I most respected during the first years of COVID. She was out there on the ground literally getting meals to folks in need in her district. Very glad to see this.

If they're releasing all these files and nothing is being done about it, aren't they really just bragging about what they can get away with?

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line.

I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.

Outside observer here. Those protesting , in Minnesota in particular, are some of the most admirable people on the planet. They know every time they go onto the streets that their lives are at risk, and yet they persist because they love their country.
These are true patriots.

Guns for me, but not for thee How the Rittenhouse Rules changed the Second Amendment.

"Republicans are more than mere hypocrites. They believe 2A rights are subject to Wilhoit’s maxim...laws are designed to protect some (conservatives) but bind others (everyone else)."

A follow up on this Jesse Watters clip from 3 weeks ago. The victim of ICE testified today before Congress that she was on her way to a 39th scheduled treatment at a traumatic brain injury center.

These people are absolutely inhumane. I spent 2 hours of my morning trying to get at least 6 different vehicles of masked agents to leave the bus stops in our neighborhood. Many schools in the area had to lock down. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #mpls

Sadly, this is the ICE M.O.: Assault innocent people and then tell elaborate lies to blame the victim. No judge should give any credence to anything a DHS lawyer says to them. They have proven themselves to be liars too often.
