It would still be unacceptable if they'd done this in a way that allowed people time and a process to follow the law - a license that outs you is a safety and discrimination risk. But THEY DID NOT. Their explicit goal is to punish trans people for changing their gender marker under the law.
NEW: WSJ now confirming my reporting that the DOJ is withholding at least three FBI interviews with a woman who told the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child
www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
The DOJ has not released records from three interviews the FBI did with a woman who alleged she was a sexual assault victim of Epstein and made sexual abuse allegations against President Trump, according to an NBC News analysis and information provided by a source familiar with the investigation.
Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.
Except in the United States.
Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.
We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.
Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.
Any second now, I'm sure.
He was a white guy, if that helps?
Hello? NRA?
That is fascism. It is tyranny. It is governmental criminality.
And the ultimate legal check the Framers of our Constitution provided to stop this kind of tyranny and criminality in the executive branch is impeachment and removal of the executive.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Many survivors came forward, and we began comparing notes and working with people in Congress.
As we started connecting the dots, we realized that some of us were sent to the same person in Hollywood for movie auditions. Some of us went to the same modeling agency…
I’m going to need to see the declination memos from DoJ where they declined to prosecute the Epstein co-conspirators, and I’m gonna need to see them for every single person they declined to prosecute.
I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.
The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?
here's today's post: "the DOJ is already playing games with the Dead Pedo Bestie files" — sleazy photos of Preznit Fuckwit are disappearing from the Epstein website.

"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
Very alarmed to see that Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior for spurious and dishonest reasons. It does not bode well for this platform, which I find very disappointing. You can read about what Sarah experienced here. What’s this about @jay.bsky.team?!

Now: Thousands of people in Charlotte have gathered to let Border Patrol & ICE know they’re not welcome here. We will not bow down in the face of Trump’s terror tactics. When our communities are under attack we stand up and fight back!

Moral depravity, as driven by partisan political bias. Part of the lasting effect of Trump may be to drive the broad acceptance of the sexual abuse of children among a political sect that used to define itself as the defenders of children against sexual abuse. This truly is the devil's work.
Yesterday we learned why JD Vance has done a 180º turn on whether the Epstein files should be released—the central role of Trump has overshadowed the appearance of Vance's mentor and funder, Peter Thiel, as a major Epstein playmate.
Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?
You can’t just pick out the email where the convicted pedo calls him dirty Donald and the one where Epstein says Donald was in the room with a victim for hours and the one where he says Donald knew about the pedophilia and the one about Donald and teens in bikinis, you’ll give people the wrong idea
Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.
We spent months working to rebuild the Democratic brand in the eyes of young voters who wanted leaders who'd fight for them.
Senate Democrats just lit all that work on fire.

ICE detain father in unmarked white van—drive off in his car with his toddler still in the back car seat.
One agent threw volleyball into the car—it bounced hitting the toddler in head.
"There's a baby in there!" people cry out. "They covered up his face! That's child abuse!"
(Part 1)
Excessive force. PERIOD!
They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.
“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.”
Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.
