Unmasking The Masked Men ProPublica identifies the agents who killed Alex Pretti because there’s no place for secret police in America

Alex Pretti's killers are now known: Jesus Ochoa & Raymundo Gutierrez. This is thanks to ProPublica. It's a travesty and intolerable that Homeland Security & the Justice Dept have hidden these federal agents' identities. @markjacob.bsky.social & I discuss. www.americaamerica.news/p/unmasking-...

I was going to work for hours, draining myself in a way that meant I would spend all my animated body on material work that would outlive my dessicated husk, burned out from within by passion of creation. But I sleeped instead

I think all these men who benefited financially from proximity to Epstein POST CONVICTION OF PEDOPHILIA should have to pay reparations to his victims, whether they abused women and children or not.

They all knew what was going on, and help legitimize him with their association.

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism?

BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism

SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism?

BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

Opinion | Dan Bongino’s happy to be back where he can serve Trump best β€” podcasting Philip Bump: Bongino quit his job as second-in-command at the FBI to go back to podcasting, where he won't have the pressure of having to work in the reality-based world.

The Trump attention economy runs almost exclusively on lies, so Dan Bongino realized he’d get more traction if he wasn’t anchored to the truth. www.ms.now/opinion/dan-...

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

This is so incredibly cynical, except that it is probably mostly naive.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.
