Buried in the "fog of war" are reports that 47,635 files were removed from the Epstein files that were made public by the Justice Department in accordance with the Transparency Act..
The unredacted Epstein files belong to us.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is primarily funded by taxpayers through annual congressional appropriations.
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”
-Dwight Eisenhower 1953
The Declaration of Independence says that we not only have the right but we also have the duty to alter or abolish any government that does not secure our unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Illustration of a young pale skinned woman with long black hair in a white patterned dress laying flat on her back in grass with black tears streaming down her face. Text states, “Touching Grass is NOT ENOUGH. I need horrible things to happen to powerful people.”

Be aware of which political party wants the American people to vote and will protect our collective right to do so…and which political party wants to restrict that right so that they may remain in power indefinitely.
The difference could not be clearer than at the present moment.
Uihlein = Uline
Stop supporting hate and tyranny with your consumerism.

7. Uihlein is far from the only billionaire pouring money into anti-trans causes. Elon Musk poured $25 million into a Wisconsin Supreme Court race where anti-trans messaging was a central feature.

3. Now, voters may directly determine the fate of transgender youth in schools across the state after a massive signature drive bankrolled by billionaire Republican megadonor Richard Uihlein, the latest in an attempt by ultra-wealthy conservative donors to export anti-trans discrimination.
U-Line is owned by this ultra-conservative, anti-trans billionaire who couldn’t buy his blue home state of IL, where human rights/bodily autonomy for trans folks are codified in the State constitution, so his hateful cash flows into purple states. Mainers, you know what to do. SHUT IT DOWN. 🏳️⚧️⚧️
Listen to this 13 year old who went to her city's council meeting.
She had some things she needed to get off her chest
Floor plan for an ICE concentration camp.
(Gift link for the @willbunch.bsky.social piece is in the thread.)
Chicago police officers disproportionately used force against Black Chicagoans, even when considering they are more likely to be arrested or suspected of committing a crime in the city, according to the results of a court-ordered, first-of-its-kind study.

You still with me?
Let’s drift back to ’65 for a second, and three ladies step out in high heels and heartbreak with this song. Minor key. Not just pop polish—a little ache behind the mascara.
They’d already stacked three number ones, and wanted another crown.
Yeah… let this one talk.
SAME. Folks outside big cities have zero clue what was endured. We were in a high-rise apt in downtown Chicago for lockdown-2022. Those first few months were terrifying w/an immune compromised mom & a disabled partner. The city use of an ice hockey rink for bodies. 1M+ Americans DIED ffs!
News you can use, from the @wired.com security team (who are the best in the biz).
They asked technologists, activists, aid groups, and cybersecurity experts for guidance on how to organize and collaborate in an age of surveillance. Here’s the result:
Well goddamn if Hamnet didn’t gut my arty sad lil heart. We sat rapt & just wept. For the deep respect shown to nature, for cruelties endured by women, & for the communal grief shared through art in the Globe. The cinematography! Overwhelming & tragically beautiful. A gift of a film by Chloe Zhao.
🔥 WATCH: “I feel much safer with undocumented immigrants than I EVER will with ICE agents!!!”
Sheriff deputies descend on a WILSON COUNTY man as he spouts some hard truths in opposition to a rumored ICE detention center (which they have now backed off of)
"Jesse Jackson Made It Possible for Democrats to Speak About Palestine"
Activist James Zogby pays tribute to his late friend, who was the first politician to welcome Arab Americans into the Democratic Party - and even met with Yasser Arafat when others wouldn't.
Insanity. They are laughing at us.
How is this not bigger news?
“A broad range of legal specialists on the use of lethal force have said the strikes are *** illegal, extrajudicial killings *** because the military cannot deliberately target civilians who do not pose an imminent threat of violence.”

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”
UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:

Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to expanding who gets to belong in American democracy.
From civil rights to economic justice, he challenged power and widened the path for Black Americans. May we honor his legacy not just with words, but by continuing the work. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...
Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.
This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.
The President of the United States raped underage women.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has seen the proof in the Epstein files and doesn't care.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
