TikTok US is now controlled by Trump ally Larry Ellison. Result? Negative speech about Trump gets restricted. Messages about the Epstein files are blocked. Mine were. My friend’s too. Funny how MAGA “free speech” warriors vanish when it’s about their Dear Leader. Silence is loud.

Same reason educated left folks have tended to minimize or ignore or deny the scale & effectiveness of Russian state interference and disinfo campaigns in foreign countries —conspiratorial thinking is distasteful hangover of the cold war, mccarthyism etc that only vulgar simpletons engage in

I'm convinced one of the reasons epstein was able to coast for so long is that for many sensible people including and especially educated liberals, viewing the world through a conspiratorial lens was always seen as vaguely distasteful and rube-coded

Horrifying and unnerving. DHS sent an administrative subpoena to Google for this retiree's records and even sent armed agents out to his house for the "offense" of writing the following completely anodyne email to a federal prosecutor using an email address he found via Google.

Reminder that this is the guy Trump sent to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, who was then moved to club fed days later.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

A screenshot of a tweet by Nick Adams (@NickAdamsinUSA), verified, posted about four hours earlier. The tweet claims he overheard several college women at an OrangeTheory gym talking about “Melania” after a workout. He writes that they admired the First Lady’s “class, humanity, and business acumen,” and includes quoted dialogue using slang like “Period sis” and “Slay queen,” saying they were surprised by her intelligence and talent. The tweet continues with a quote claiming the women said President Trump is a good husband and a gentleman and that the media lies about him. It concludes with the author asserting that the film he references has secured the female vote for the GOP in the midterms.

Of all the things in the history of the world that definitely did not happen - this is the pinnacle.

fun fact the military didn't look into this at all when they were studying tear gas back in the 1960s

but in addition to stuff like irregular periods, there's evidence tear gas exposure can be linked to miscarriage

more than enough data to suggest caution

I don’t know who this Ken Turner guy is, and I don’t know if the allegations against Amb Wayne are true, and I don’t know if there really were shootouts over a sex trafficking ring. Nor do I know if the State Dept was involved in a coverup.

But it seems like this email is worth investigating, Pam.

Pam Bondi: There’s nothing worth investigating in the Epstein Files.

Just one page of the Epstein Files: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Explosive from @faisalislam.bsky.social about that call that did take place with Dimon and Darling.

Quite the contrast:

In one part of the Epstein files, DOJ published unredacted nude images of women and potentially minors.

In another part, officials redacted President Trump’s face from a news image that was shared in a text exchange.

Man on a local news street interview: The earth is a resort for like 500 rich people and the rest of us are just the staff.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

One thing I keep thinking about is how Hereward the Wake was just a messy party boy until William’s thugs messed with his family.

Then he launched a rebellion and nearly brought down the House of Normandy.

It was banned back in 2020 in Portland. We also have civil penalties on the books for people who deploy it.

The Feds don’t care though because they believe they’re super citizens who are above the law.

we absolutely need to know who he sent this to. how is this something the public is being kept in the dark on???

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.

So after this latest drop of Epstein files, do you think Robert of Belleme would have been invited to Davos… or was his behavior too gauche for their tastes?

Years ago, a friend asked me why billionaires want MORE money when they could never spend the tiniest fraction of what they have.

My answer is that they want immunity. The immunity to do literally any horrific they want without consequence.

Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind.

If you ever wonder why more women don’t play games… they were literally dealing with Jeffrey f’ing Epstein.
