The PSA video by Epstein’s survivors is devastating.

The President has immunity from SCOTUS? I watched the press conference on YouTube with Mr. Acosta! There is clearly courage among these women! The women were so very brave in public! About the Epstein! Joy’s house showed all those women who were just children! Let hope shine a lot for them rising up and not being afraid! Virginia you made this happen! Bless you! Keep smiling upon every moment in heaven!Thank you!

I want the Brett Kavanaugh case reopened!

This is in effect an exact corollary to the Epstein scandal: the many people who called the FBI to say they had evidence against Kavanaugh who were never even interviewed!

We have TWO sexual bad-actors on the court that decides everything for lesser Americans? Intolerable!

Let’s not “Mike Pence” the 212 Republicans that voted to release the Epstein files. Instead ask the question “where were you for the 50 days that Mike Johnson held up swearing in the 218th signature?”

Like Pence those 212 are not heroes, they only did the right thing once they had no choice.

Victims of these kinds of horrific crimes should never have to wait this long for something resembling justice. I applaud everyone who's been pushing to get this discharge petition passed. Accountability, IMO, needs to go back to the original sin in this case - the sweetheart deal crafted by then US Attorney Alex Acosta. The public deserves to know how and why that deal came about over the objections of local law enforcement who were pressing for much more serious charges.

Let’s hope Schumer stays out of the fucking way. Him and Coons and the rest of the 8 neoliberal dinosaurs.

The conversation should be about raping girls and women, who cares who did it. Just ask my mother and my aunt about being raped by their father.

After the press conference that was incredibly moving if you have a heart or shred of empathy, both Trump and Mike Johnson completely defied their request to drop the politics and doubled down on the rage, overt lies, whataboutism and shocking lack of graciousness. Johnson feigning concern over the victims while haranguing democrats revealed the autocratic, delusional and lack of humanity that characterizes a disintegrating, malignant narcisssist and his poisoned enablers who can’t even get in touch with their own humanity..

I'm not sure it's their humanity they need to get in touch with. It's something higher, something more pure than humanity that lives within all of us that's been squashed by forgetting what and who we truly are — what we're born with. Love, innocence (blamelessness and lack of guile), inherent understanding of right and wrong. It's not humanity the state (“ity” suffix) “doing” (Latin verb “man”) the breath of divine “hu”. It's HUMILITY — the state (ity) of magnifying by a thousand (mil) the breath of the divine “hu”.

We're born with it. We need to embody it. And yes, we need to “man” (as in doing with hands) it. Put it in action.

Time For D’s To Go Mad Max On GOP/Nazis

The House Rules committee just voted to NOT condemn fascism In a New Republic piece, “A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends,” wrote Vice President Henry A. Wallace for The New York Times in 1944

Pretty well sums it up for the Nazi/GOP Perry Bacon in his podcast(https://bit.ly/4nZ1Izx) talks about it’s time for D’s to take their gloves off and begin an anti-corruption campaign to salvage the country from the Nazi/GOP who has shown that it’s ok for immoral conduct, disgusting political retribution, reprehensible immigrant policy, political monetary opportunism, attempted government oligarchic takeover, rigging elections and persistent gerrymandering, attempting to buy elected offices, abuse of executive power, abuse of SCOTUS power The American public has seen and had enough

36 House Nazis are not seeking re-election in 2026 They’re seeing the writing on the wall The jig is up….the MAGA façade has been ripped away and there is no turning back But a unanimous House vote for the Epstein file release cannot wipe away decades of power grabbing politics with nothing in return to the American people Vote the Nazis out until they have a moral compass if that's at all possible because I think this Nazi group is beyond hope
