Dina Doll: “Buried in a footnote of Ghislaine Maxwell’s court filing, she makes the bombshell claim that there are twenty-five accomplices of Jeffrey Epstein who entered into secret settlements and that there are four unnamed employee co-conspirators of Epstein.”

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

DOJ’s “ransom” letter to Minnesota reveals how Trump plans to rig the midterms After a Border Patrol agent killed Alex Pretti, Attorney General Pam Bondi tells Minnesota to hand over its voter roll to “bring an end to the chaos.”

“It’s a shakedown. They’re trying to use the power of the federal government to scare Minnesota officials into handing over voter rolls... Trump wants that state voter data so that he has the ability to interfere with the upcoming midterm elections.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

She often posts earlier. That I know this has nothing to do with insomnia.

Perfect example of the barriers to voting that are being built with laws like the SAVE Act. Getting a certified birth certificate is not easy for everyone. The exact opposite of motor voter. Glad that you started early! #handsoff #votersuppression #stopthesaveact

Exactly. Thanks for doing that research and posting.

Hilarious!!

Fantastic!!

Awesome ! Call your reps anyway!!

Most things I have read specify two forms of ID for most people and they have to match. Easy place for voter suppression to make it harder for folks without a passport or who live in a state without RealID

It’s clever. They don’t want people to vote.

This is the least of what they are trying. They have the courts ruling that 60,000 people who legally voted have to validate their registrations because the GOP candidate refuses to concede.

Read the act or look for summaries in your news sources. Voter suppression at its sleaziest.

It’s a voter suppression act.

Not sure if they will require it…
