How Should We Talk to Our Kids About Epstein? They need to learn that no group that rewards their secrecy is worth belonging to.

The other evening on the couch, I looked over at my 12-year-old son messing around on the iPad and saw that he’d searched for Epstein’s island on Google Earth and was zooming in on its various pools and pavilions. “Wow,” he muttered to himself. “It’s pretty big.”

This is a great important thread. In today’s technological world, we need to prepare to have conversations we never should have to, or sooner than we want to. Ask questions, but more importantly — listen to the answers. Kids are much smarter and more aware than many adults give them credit for...

Did employers think the first amendment would be struck down to honor his memory?

It’s a wonderful bay. The beach has been ‘rearranged’ a few times from storms but it’s worth going to swim.

Thanks for bringing these stories to public attention. It matters. I was just talking tonight to my hairstylist about the history we were never taught. She’s seeking out and learning hidden Black history - I was pleased to learn & encourage her initiative.

Do you know what happened to them after their discharges? That is one more (unjust) difficulty to overcome for a Black man of those times. 🤬

produced a trial record, and that lived mostly in fragile, non‑digitized sources. The scarcity of information isn’t a sign the event was small; it’s a sign of how thoroughly it was erased.

with no full trial, no U.S. press access, and no public transcripts—almost no official documentation was ever created. As a result, the USS Sumter Three sits in a historical blind spot: a major racial justice case that the military had incentives to minimize, that never (cont)

ADDENDUM:

The story of the USS Sumter Three is hard to research because it was never meant to survive in the historical record. The Marine Corps quietly buried the case after realizing the mutiny charges were indefensible, and because the proceedings happened overseas—(cont)

Prosecutors pushed for 65 years in prison. Meanwhile, three White Marines who were also initially implicated quietly had their charges dropped. Under public pressure — including GI newspapers, antiwar groups, and civil rights advocates — the Marine Corps finally backed (cont)

🧵 Today, we're going to learn about The USS Sumter Three — and the mutiny charges that should never have happened. It's apropos for #BlackHistoryMonth—because most people never knew about it.

In fairness, if I'm ever up for a confirmation hearing, all I'm bringing to the table is a copy of the Constitution and a burn binder of every dumbass thing the Senators have said so I can roast them.

🚨"The white community is finally seeing what [Black people] have been saying all along—how government cover ups happen, how those in power lie and manipulate," arrested ICE church protester Nekima Levy Armstrong on Trump cover-ups of Renee Good & Alex Pretti murders.

Trumpists do not believe that people who disagree with them are entitled to a voice in government.

If this isn’t state sponsored terrorism, I don’t know what is!

The only guy ever convicted of fraud wants to stop voter fraud. For cris’sakes. Pretty safe in assuming Americans won’t give up mail-in voting just to stand in line with your “well-regulated” ICE militia.

Oregon woman headed to buy socks for teen son. She’s now stuck in ICE detention U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici has pushed ICE to release Maria Trinidad Loya Medina so she can care for her seriously ill husband and their two children. Medina has lived in the U.S. for more than 20 year...

I recently visited Maria in the Tacoma detention center. She is a loving mom, pays her taxes, and has no criminal history -- not even a parking ticket. She deserves to come home to her two children and her husband, who is recovering from surgery. I will not stop fighting until she is home.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.

The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Jim Jordan called out by GOP strategist for failing to control 'disgraceful' sideshow. "That was a sham of a hearing and I do think Jim Jordan did not do justice to his committee by not holding her more accountable because her outbursts were truly... disgraceful," www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Happy Frederick Douglass’ birthday to all who celebrate!

Calls mount for release of Palestinian protester held by ICE for nearly a year Leqaa Kordia was taken into custody last March, nearly a year after being arrested at a protest at Columbia

"Kordia has been held at the Prairieland detention facility in Texas since then, despite a judge twice ruling that she poses no threat and may be released on bond." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Public shaming and shunning. There should not be a safe place for them to hide.

We need to make sure the secret police disappearing fathers & mothers away from their children - all for not having the right papers - know the deepest of shame for the rest of their lives, a stench they can never wash off

Are you ready for some football?!

SAVE ACT: The Hostile Takeover of U.S. Democracy The SAVE Act isn't about election security; it's a calculated assault on voting rights disguised as reform. This bill represents the latest front in an ongoing war against democratic participation.

The SAVE Act isn't about election security; it's a calculated assault on voting rights disguised as reform. This bill represents the latest front in an ongoing war against democratic participation. Stopping it is crucial to preserving the integrity of American democracy.

Have recently seen a bunch of articles stating that American households have paid an additional $1000 bucks in 2025 for Felon-trump's tariff taxes.

Can ONLY imagine his obedient Fed Chair will try to give our Economy a fake sugar high by quickly dropping int rates, right in time for Midterms
