Dr. Oz emailed an invite to a Valentine's Day party in 2016 to Jeffrey Epstein. Oz appears several more times in the Epstein files, including an email sent from an account under his name to Epstein on Jan. 1, 2016, that has the subject line "Dr oz." The body of the message is completely redacted.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

Precisely this. It’s too classified to send to *some* members of Congress. But there are absolutely folks who are (or could be) cleared to be read in. Even if it’s got to be a Gang of Eight only issue, send it to Congress.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts. From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time. The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets. I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

Be the Spark
A country once proud
now hangs its head in shame.
The facade of freedom
has cracked and fallen,
ugly, exposed.
Lives lie in ruin,
all sold for a price.
Greed rules the land,
its whispers louder than truth.
The towers of promise crumble,
streets echo empty dreams.
Children inherit ashes,
hope buried beneath false gold.
The flag flutters hollow,
its colors faded,
its song silenced.
Yet somewhere, faint and fragile,
a spark resists the dark,
a memory of what was,
a whisper of what could be.
