To "Pro-Life" Christians, The Epstein Victims Were Sacred in the Womb, But Worthless Outside of It. You hear it, don’t you?

Right now, as millions of pages filled with the most despicable, depraved atrocities human beings are capable of, cover every square inch of America’s collective consciousness, the pro-life Christians are nowhere to be found...

I think maybe the remarkable part is that the US Attorney tried to indict six Democratic elected officials (and veterans) who made a video saying that everyone should follow the law.

Two senior Norwegian diplomats being investigated over Epstein links Financial crimes squad investigate husband and wife in connection to alleged relationship with late sex offender

Refreshing to see criminal and journalistic investigations go forward in Norway. The scandal is meaningful and there is a meaningful response. All of us should do so well.

Again it’s important to remember the context of these chats is that a woman was shot five times in her car as she was attempting to donate clothes at a church.

Sens Jon Husted (R-OH) & Bernie Moreno (R-OH) both got big payments from Les Wexner and then on cue started to disparage investigations into the Epstein files. This is how the corrupt system works.

“I’ve mentioned before that concentration camp regimes in their early stages often make use of large open infrastructure to convert into detention spaces. Dachau was converted from a shuttered factory into a concentration camp in 1933.”

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Leslie Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret, was the other man named by Ava Cordero as her rapist and abuser alongside Jeffrey Epstein in 2007, only to be mocked and degraded and dismissed as crazy because she's trans.

Damn, we removed all the places kids could go to socialise, then destroyed all kid centric hang out websites and games and then we banned them from social media and we're surprised that they find friendship in a positive reinforcement robot?

So, Leon Black being connected to Epstein ends up affecting a *shit ton* of seemingly wildly disparate companies and brands.

McGraw Hill textbooks, Hostess twinkies, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the Jacuzzi brand (for a bit), and Chuck E Cheese, the connection is a private equity pedophile.

They lent $184 to Kushner in 2017 for Chicago slumlording, they own private military contractor Constellis, they own ADT, they bought Hostess in 2013.

They bought McGraw-Hill in 2012.

One of the results of corporate consolidation is that now every company is actually just the same 5 companies, and all 5 are owned by Epstein associates.

Like, *one* high ranking exec is found in the Epstein files and bam, that's like 200 seemingly totally different products and brands.

A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured - The American Prospect ICE is not required to report any use-of-force incidents against the public. So The American Prospect created our own running tally.

As Trump's DHS leaders cry to Congress this morning about how deadly Minnesota is for immigration agents, we updated our tally of people ICE and CBP agents have killed since last January. It's up to 25.

Schumer said repeatedly that his foremost goal is to serve Israel, a genocidal state. He sees what ICE does as normal and good, just like he sees what Israel does to Palestinians as normal and good. He spent his life excusing evil. He will not help innocent people; he is there to help their abusers.
