And just like that, the most damning Epstein files completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
Here's a story about his death www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

US authorities must immediately release journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. Journalism is not a crime. Reporting on protests is not a crime. Arresting journalists for their reporting is a clear example of an authoritarian practice.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Five years ago today, Donald Trump ignited a violent mob to attack the Capitol and disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
Last year, Donald Trump pardoned over 1,500 of those insurrectionists.
It's an assault on American democracy.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Before she died, my great-grandmother told me what her mother told her as swastika uniforms took her to the gas chambers:
"Remember you're a Jew; I'll return soon." She never saw her again.
A new Coast Guard policy says that same swastika isn't hate but "potentially divisive."
Never again is now.
