Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

President’s Day Reminder:
The presidency is a job.
It requires integrity, humility, restraint, and responsibility.
Not a crown. Not a blank check. Not a get-out-of-accountability card. 🇺🇸

This thread is the we are going to win thread, is the kids are alright thread, is the STOP ICE thread, is the civil society rising thread; read it through.

💯! Fixed it. PEDO prez is mentioned a million times.

If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

GEORGE RETES: “My name is George Retes. I was born and raised here in Ventura, California. I’m 26 years old and I am an Iraq combat veteran. I was going to work like normal. I show up. ICE is there. There’s kind of like a roadblock. I get out. I identify myself — that I’m a U.S. citizen, that I’m just trying to get to work. I’m trying to leave. I’m getting ready to leave and they surround my car, start banging on it, start shouting these contradictory orders. Even though I was giving them no reason, they still felt the need to — one agent knelt on my back and another agent knelt on my neck. And during that time, I’m just pleading with them that I couldn’t breathe. I was in isolation. I was in basically this concrete cell. I was stripped naked in like a hospital gown. And they leave the lights on 24/7. They just came out and they said that I was violent and that I assaulted agents. Why lie when it’s on video of everything that happened? Why lie?”

Trump is clowning his evangelical base He's not even bothering to pretend anymore.

"The version of Christianity that Trump's most devout supporters embrace (and he pretends to) has no room for Christ’s actual teachings. Anyone who references Jesus’s declarations to aid the sick, poor, and vulnerable is quickly labeled a socialist and/or antifa."

I remember hearing her in this video speaking about her dad when he was first taken by ICE. I was struck by the conviction, moral clarity, and strength in her voice at a young age & as she struggled with stage 4 cancer. She’s an example of what anyone can do even in the toughest of circumstances.

The Jeffrey Epstein cover-up is an affront to US democracy | Rebecca Solnit Democracy means a society and system in which everyone’s rights matter. Rapists count on this being untrue – and Trump is proving them right

The new batch of Epstein files make me retch. They reveal the rot of abuse & corruption at the highest levels of government, finance & tech.
As Rebecca Solnit observes, it feels like: “rapists all the way down, and enablers all the way up.”
