BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Epstein files vanish, then appear, then suddenly Trump’s the hero. You can’t make this up, but they do.

For context, it's worth noting that Maxwell has also claimed under oath that she never heard Epstein say or do anything like that either

MAGA aren't republican, they are pro-monarchy, pro-oligarchy, and pro-autocracy. Supporting corruption and removing power from the people to concentrate it in the hands of a few wealthy and corporate entities and individuals is the opposite of republicanism. They are regressives.

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear

Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

Democrats Call Out Trump Administration Over ‘Terrifying’ New Reports In a letter shared with HuffPost, the Democratic Women’s Caucus urged DHS to mandate ICE agents to “visibly and clearly identify themselves" when making arrests.

House Democrats are urging the Department of Homeland Security to mandate that immigration officials clearly identify themselves when conducting arrests. The demand comes in the wake of multiple reports of men impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and assault women.

US BUDGET DEFICIT SOARS

The deficit jumped 19% to $291B in July. This is despite $21B collected from Americans due to higher import taxes, which led to higher costs on goods like furniture, footwear, and auto parts.

The deficit for 2025 is already $1.63 trillion, up 7% from the last year.

"Ghislaine Maxwell remains the only child-rapist in history to receive well-wishes from a president of the United States."

Lawrence O'Donnell

“Thank you for your attention to this matter” makes me irrationally irate.

Yikes!

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response.

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

we’ve made it clear that anyone who visits the US could be disappeared into a Salvadoran prison but I’m sure it’s the kids and their avocado toasts who’re to blame

mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.

Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname “Pedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.

Change your vocabulary and stop using the language of the predator.

1. Underage woman = child
2. Sex scandal (involving children) = rape
3. Sex with child = child rape
4. Sex trafficking = rape trafficking
5. Pedophile = child rapist

The crazy thing about Donald Trump posting an AI video of Obama getting arrested is that Trump once had someone organize a party for him and invite a bunch of “young women” and it turned out Jeffrey Epstein was his only other guest.

Science literacy is collapsing. And with it, the foundation of civilization. People fear vaccines more than viruses. So diseases we once defeated are coming back. They fear GMO’s more than hunger. So we reject tools that could feed millions. They fear nuclear more than climate collapse. So we burn more coal. They trust influencers over scientists. So truth becomes a matter of opinion. This isn’t just ignorance. It’s a threat. You can’t solve 21st century problems with 15th century thinking. Science isn’t a luxury. It’s survival. Teach it. Defend it. Demand it.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

House Republicans block Democratic maneuver to force release of Epstein files One Republican on the House Rules Committee crossed over to vote with Democrats.

Blocking the release of the Epstein files and protecting sexual predators is no longer a Trump-only directive.

It’s now part of the Republican Party’s platform.

120. Upon arrival at CECOT, the detainees were greeted by a prison official who stated, "Welcome to CECOT. Whoever enters here doesn't leave." Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was then forced to strip, issued prison clothing, and subjected to physical abuse including being kicked in the legs with boots and struck on his head and arms to make him change clothes faster. His head was shaved with a zero razor, and he was frog-marched to cell 15, being struck with wooden batons along the way.

After approximately one week at CECOT, prison director Osiris Luna and other officials separated the 21 Salvadorans who had arrived together. Twelve individuals with visible gang-related tattoos were moved to another cell, while Plaintiff Abrego Garcia remained with eight others who, like him, upon information and belief had no gang affiliations or tattoos. 123. As reflected by his segregation, the Salvadoran authorities recognized that Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was not affiliated with any gang and, at around this time, prison officials explicitly acknowledged that Plaintiff Abrego Garcia's tattoos were not gang-related, telling him "your

Make no mistake:

Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’

As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

Of course it’s unconstitutional, it all is.
