Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals. We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Today is Data Privacy Day – a perfect time to take advantage of a powerful new tool that makes it easier than ever for Oregonians to protect personal data online: Universal Opt-Out. #dataprivacyday #orpol #dataprivacy #universaloptout
Protecting your data with Universal Opt-Out. 
Learn how to protect your personal data online -> “You could be doing something very ordinary online – looking up a medical concern, researching a school for your kid, or just reading the news – and that information quietly gets packaged and sold without you ever saying yes. Universal Opt-Out changes that. It gives Oregonians a simple way to draw a line once and have it respected across the internet, instead of having to hunt for a ‘do not sell’ button on every site.”

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

House Dems released emails where Epstein calls Trump “the dog that hasn’t barked,” says he spent “hours at my house” with a trafficking victim, and writes in 2019 that Trump “knew about the girls.” New 23k docs deepen ties despite denials. #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles

This morning, the president ordered states to not distribute full SNAP benefits for November, and demanded that states “undo” any benefits payments that have already been sent to working families for food. Read our statement in response.
The president is abusing his office and bullying hungry Americans. Putting food on the table is not a political bargaining chip. It’s our responsibility to hold him accountable. We will continue to do everything in our power to ensure that people continue to receive their SNAP benefits, and that includes the benefits that went out on Friday.

Maria Greeley is a U.S. citizen who was detained by ICE and told her passport “isn’t real” and that she “doesn’t look like” her last name. What do they think an American should look like? This racial profiling happens every day under Trump’s lawless regime. It’s un-American.

Epstein made $$$ billing himself as a tax wizard. Here's the catch: he wasn't an accountant or lawyer. His financial advice was ordinary at best. It looks like a cover story to hide his sex trafficking. My question: why didn't investigators follow the money?
