Is there a website or news service that you turn to for the best analysis in the Epstein files?

Struggling to sort through social media hyperbole/fakes being sent to me and the actual (horrible) truth.

7-Year-Old Migrant Girl Dies Of Dehydration And Shock In U.S. Border Patrol Custody The girl's death underscores the crisis precipitated by large groups of families seeking asylum where there are inadequate facilities to detain them.

CBP didnโ€™t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

โ€œ8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

Oh nonononono, I'm so sorry. (And don't even get me started on their hate for higher ed!)

I keep seeing it happen. The condemnations have been nowhere near loud enough to help disconnected folks avoid the trap.

Sadly, I think a lot of us know someone who engages with Nick Fuentes. And most of us know people who laugh him off as "just joking."

They should all have to account for this.

Saw that Epstein thanked ED Secretary Betsy DeVos for making it harder to bring Title IX sexual assault complaints and immediately thought of this story.

They're rigging every system they can...

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congressโ€™s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Exclusive | OpenAI Executive Who Opposed โ€˜Adult Modeโ€™ Fired for Sexual Discrimination Ryan Beiermeister, who served as the vice president leading OpenAIโ€™s product policy team, had raised concerns about the upcoming launch of erotic content.

In Jan OpenAI fired VP of public policy (safety) for discrimination against a male colleague. There are no details about the alleged complaint but she had raised concerns about the ChatGPTโ€™s proposed adult mode and was vocal that co wasnโ€™t doing enough to stop CSAM. She also led mentorship for women

U.S. Atty Gen. Pam Bondi and FBI Dir. Kash Patel have both sworn under oath that zero evidence of other people committing crimes exists within the Epstein Files.

Here are emails from people whose identities have been redacted, both attaching photos, both adding notes stating โ€œAge 10โ€ and โ€œAge 11.โ€

90% of student discrimination and harassment complaints were dismissed last year. Here's why. Students with disabilities and survivors of sexual misconduct canโ€™t rely on the Department of Education โ€” the target of budget cuts and staff reductions โ€” to intervene for them, new reports find.

The Dept of Ed spent $38 MILLION paying attorneys to not enforce civil rights laws.

"...their goal is using Title IX for their own purposes and not to bring justice for these students who have asked for help, which is just appalling.โ€ (Me)
