What is happening with: The Epstein files, The investigation into Reform’s dodgy dealings and the investigation into the dodgy COVID contracts? Why so quiet?

Both of these guys lied about their friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and less than a year later we learned that they both hung out on his island. It’s weird nobody talks about that anymore.

Israel has just banned all Arab Parties from running in their upcoming elections. Arabs make up 21% of Israeli Citizens they have now been banned from having any representation. Israel isn't like Nazi Germany. It is Nazi Germany.

Strange how the people who shout the loudest about refugees ‘invading our land’ are not also shouting this good news that numbers have dropped by nearly 50% year on year. If you really cared about the numbers wouldn’t you be celebrating?

I am really scared of what’s happening. Massive donations from billionaires, masked thugs who are no doubt bankrolled by the same billionaires. I am scared and the police just arrest peaceful people. I am scared.

A letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after he was murdered by ICE.
suzpretti
18 hours ago

Today marks the six-month anniversary of Alex's murder. No one has been held accountable, no apologies, not a single phone call from any governmental official, hospital personnel, or the mpls police dept. Six-months of pain, a roller-coaster of trauma over and over. Every time another a death, another mention, a picture, a tribute, a sorrow so deep. I wonder how to move forward. Will I ever get over this loss and this pain?
Will I ever be able to enjoy life again? How does one live knowing that I have no power to change what has happened?

And yet the outreach not only from Minnesota, but from around the world has been nothing less than spectacular. Every card, every gift, every heartfelt letter has been read, touched, held, and cherished by us all. The kindness you've all shown us is beyond words. Please never forget Alex and what he believed in ~ equality and peace for all. I will remember the things that made you, you. It will never take your memory. As long as I'm here, you will never be forgotten.

For all you asking what you can do. Continue this fight. Never give up your right to speak out, protect your neighbor, your community and don't forget to spend time with those you love...

In the middle of the Danube river separating Serbia and Romania, a rusty hull is visible along with a broken mast. The ship, near the Serbian port of Prahovo, laden with weapons, belonged to Nazi Germany’s Black Sea fleet. Baking temperatures and drought have driven water levels to record lows
