This PSA is being released today by survivors of Epstein’s child rape trafficking in anticipation of Ghislaine Maxwell’s closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee Monday and AG Bondi testifying in front of the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday:

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

The Way to Beat Back Trump Was Just Revealed There is a word for what ICE’s opponents in Minneapolis represent, and it has a long, successful history: dissidence.

Those who oppose ICE in Minnesota are battling not for a political agenda but for the goal of dissidents throughout history: a normal life, @galbeckerman.bsky.social argues.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

A reminder for these times.

We’ve received too many reports about GOP voicemails being full for this to be a coincidence.

If your Republican representative is avoiding you, show up to one of their local offices.

You can also send an email to make it clear you don’t want to pay the price for the GOP’s billionaire tax breaks.

Many people are asking me if Elon Musk is stealing tax-payer money or using our private information to enrich himself?

I’m a Member of Congress on the committee for Government Oversight and I can’t tell you that he’s not. That’s a problem.

Apparently Murkowski said calls to the Senate have gone from the usual 40 calls/hr to 1600 calls/hr, and it occurred to me that with enough pushing to set us off, Americans can Karen like no other people on earth 😂

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
