Today, we honor and remember Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her passing. Her courage has allowed countless survivors to be seen, heard, and to be believed. Sending love to her family on this difficult day—and to all the survivors out there still on this journey for justice.❤️

If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?

London was a turbulent place, where immigrants’ place was contested and a source of social strife among laborers. And while their children too faced stigma as times, they were not strangers to the realm. Their birth on the king’s lands made them Englishmen.

Watched Shōgun over Christmas? 📺
In 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu became shōgun and issued a shuinjō after advice from navigator William Adams. The original document is now on display in Treasured.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).
