Democratic Congressmember @rokhanna.bsky.social calls for Jeffrey Epstein associates to be investigated. He also says the Justice Department's sloppy release of the files and its treatment of survivors shows "there are two tiers of justice in America."

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Trump’s disgusting sexist attacks on female reporters are an assault on every American woman. His agenda is to 2nd classify women and stripping women of their reproductive rights is just a part of it. Here’s my report: open.substack.com/pub/bonniefu...
