Schumer:
"I have many jobs as leader.. and one is to fight for aid to Israel — all the aid that Israel needs. I will continue to fight for it.
«We delivered more security assistance to Israel, our ally, under my leadership than ever, ever before. We will keep doing that."
Doesn't seem like this should be his job

Alex Pretti killers: Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez.
Renee Good killer: Jonathan Ross.
All three have something major thing in common. The Trump regime openly lied about their crimes and tried to cover them up, going as far as going on TV to defame & smear the victims as terrorists.

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year:
“As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.
we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.
delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

A bystander took a heart-wrenching picture of Liam Ramos in his hat and Spiderman backpack, and there was pressure, and he and his father are free. We must not forget all the prisoners still in the camps whose names and faces are known only to their loved ones. We must make miracles for them, too.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

That which is for me through the medium of money - that for which I can pay (i.e., which money can buy) - that am I myself, the possessor of the money. The extent of the power of money is the extent of my power. Money's properties are my - the possessor's - properties and essential powers. Thus, what I am and am capable of is by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy for myself the most beautiful of women.
Therefore I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness - its deterrent power - is nullified by money. I, according to my individual characteristics, am lame, but money furnishes me with twenty-four feet.
Therefore I am not lame. I am bad, dishonest, unscrupulous, stupid; but money is honoured, and hence its possessor. Money is the supreme good, therefore its possessor is good. Money, besides, saves me the trouble of being dishonest: I am therefore presumed honest. I am brainless, but money is the real brain of all things and how then should its possessor be brainless? Besides, he can buy clever people for himself, and is he who has [In the manuscript: is. - Ed.] power over the clever not more clever than the clever? Do not I, who thanks to money am capable of all that the human heart longs for, possess all human capacities? Does not my money, therefore, transform all my incapacities into their contrary?
As a side note, it’s funny to see so many of these emails with thirsty academics repeatedly enact Marx’s bit in the 1844 Manuscripts about the power of money. “Oh Mr Epstein, your house in New York is enormous and, unrelatedly, your questions at dinner were so intelligent, so insightful, so deep.”

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Chicago Woman Shot 5 Times By Border Agents Will Testify In Washington Next Week
Marimar Martinez will speak at a federal forum on immigration agents' use of force as she fights to unseal evidence in her now-dropped prosecution.
Marimar Martinez is a hero.
She was shot 5 times by ICE.
The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire.
He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”.
DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her.
Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

What I’m seeing here is that Epstein is a nexus point for the “intellectual” cabal that shores up the race science justifying our current immigration and anti-DEI policies (Huberman), as well the tone policing moderates (Brooks) that hamstrings oppositions. Oh and their billionaire benefactors.
