After 7 l-o-n-g weeks, wishing Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva, who is the 158th & final vote to release the EPSTEIN Files, a wonderful Swearing-In Day, although not everyone is all that happy about it.
#AccountabilityIsComing
the newly released Epstein emails are getting coverage on Fox News 👀

A normal reaction to today's news, dear Nancy, would be to express shock and horror at the significant possibility that the president of the United States is a child molester.
12.11.2025 19:59 — 👍 23902 🔁 5743 💬 1912 📌 406The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

The Epstein email dump reveals those who continued to talk to the world's most famous pedophile, even 10 years after he pleaded guilty to sexually soliciting minor girls.

Brava, Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social!!
BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files.
As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed.
Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.
The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.
1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.
08.06.2025 02:05 — 👍 17458 🔁 6078 💬 615 📌 338The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be *the* most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was.
People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.
I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
Silence
Is
Complicity
Straighten your spine
Speak & live your truth

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!
18.03.2025 03:49 — 👍 30127 🔁 10156 💬 1037 📌 384This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.
There is a lot of misinformation being spread suggesting that I deleted my Twitter account in the last few days. In December 2024, I announced that I was leaving Twitter and I deleted my history.

When Israel and its supporters say ‘but there was a ceasefire on October 6th’, this is what a ceasefire looks like to them - they get to keep killing Palestinians but not the other way around.

A federal judge has ruled DOGE is wielding so much power that its records will likely have to be opened to the public under federal law.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said the "unprecedented" authority of DOGE warrant the release of documents under FOIA. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
