Democrats need to take the worst Epstein emails and turn them into full-size ads. Giant screenshots of these emails with a QR code that links to a website. Put them in subways and buses and on billboards. A 30 sec. commercial that has just the email on screen and the QR code and nothing else.

For the CEOs and university presidents and other responsible leaders who have been biding their time and waiting for him to cross the magic red line before speaking up, maybe when he starts arresting Senators is a good time to get off the fucking sidelines.

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump 187 million dollars and his top Middle East envoy 31 million dollars. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Post image CIA and the American Government is now implicated in covering up for an arrested Epstein client and Jeffery Epsteins dealings in Mexico which resulted in the confiscation of videos of minors and American Citizens violating them.
The file is EFTA00164984.pdf
🚨The attached email is the most shocking email I've seen yet in the Epstein release and I haven't seen anyone talking about it. 
"We've had another serious incident since an American shot the trial judge in our child sex trafficking case here."
I'm sorry, WTF? An American was in Mexico and shot a trial judge overseeing a child sex trafficking case? Yes.
It goes on "He and I both think this latest incident is tied to the fact we have reached out to your team. Who on your team knows we are talking to you, anyone assigned from NSA, CIA or US State Department? Please understand peoples lives here are in jeopardy."
The guy writing the email is accusing the DOJ of having someone from the NSA, CIA or State on his team AND suggesting their knowledge of prosecuting a sex trafficker would generate a hit on the judge assigned to the case.
It gets way worse.

That wasn't the first violent attempt to stop the prosecution of a sex trafficker. "We have had 4 armed attacks against us, my partner has shot and killed 2 and wounded 5 American agents to date, numerous white American agents following us in vans assigned to US Embassy. Jorge was attacked and lost his arm."
Holy crap!!! In 2019, US Embassy (likely CIA) vans were stalking our own guys assisting in MX to prosecute sex trafficking. 
"The President of Mexico is keenly aware of our case against Marcinko and other US Officials. This case we have here is most certainly connected to yours, we have the proof. Our case will help bring a whole new dynamic to what you know and who is involved, Prince Phillip is small fry compared to what we have uncovered." 
Richard Marcinko is late founder of SEAL Team Six (who died in 2021). 
"You may want to question the Ex US Ambassador to Mexico; Mr. Earl Anthony Wayne about his involvement with an underage girl when he attended and was arrested by the Federal Police. We believe that Marcinko and Epstein were involved organizing this party and it was held in Juarez, Mex in 2014 at a US Consulate controlled housing facility."
Under aged females at a US Consulate facility for a part organized by a former SEAL and Epstein.

"Ask him (Epstein) how he knows Richard Marcinko. He (the ambassador) was sentenced in Mexico in 2017 to a life sentence for impregnating an 11 year old girl, her son's dna matches Waynes 100%, but he is allowing an ex-US Marine to stand in his place to serve his sentence in Mexico. That was an agreement worked out between our US State Dept and a judge in Mexico after a huge payoff. Mr. Anthony has an outstanding arrest warrant here in Mexico for avoiding sentencing." 
You read that correctly, a former Marine was imprisoned for raping an 11 yr old girl KNOWING it was the ambassador that raped her and the deal was set up by the State Dept.
"I want confirm that the phone you will be using has been swept for malware and key loggers. After our call you'll understand why we are so concerned with secure comms here."
The agent on the ground in Mexico insists that the person ensure his phone is free from spyware to ensure the safety of the ppl involved in uncovering a child trafficking ring which is exposing corruption of State Dept personnel and CIA. The response:
"My Task Force is not affiliated with the intelligence community"
Wayne is also currently a professor at American University.
This now goes way behind a simple DOJ and FBI coverup.

So I just met w/MI state rep Parker Fairbairn. I asked what he was doing to protect his constituents from ICE and BP. He literally told me he DOES NOT CARE about non-white citizens. I repeated that back and he said he's fine with me telling others. So I am. @nomiindivisible.org @mi-swim.bsky.social

Anyone surprised? Feeding info to Putin? Today we read he’s invited Putin to serve on his peace team for Gaza?

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

I'm with @pearlmania500.bsky.social on this, and just as angry—as we all should be. A wife and mom was murdered by an incompetent ICE agent, and the first thing the government does is vilify her—labeling her a domestic terrorist.

Do not let this go, America.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.
