Over the weekend, Brian May announced that Queen won't tour in the U.S. for the time being because it's too dangerous here. This morning, Roger Taylor released a new song, "Chumps." Take a listen. It's pretty good. youtu.be/nJuv-dzrpKw?...

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Jeffrey Epstein's ties to politicians, business titans and other figures
The U.S. Justice Department's release of millions of internal documents related to Jeffrey Epstein has revealed the late financier and sex offender's ties to many prominent people in politics, finance, academia and business - both before and after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to prostitution charges, including soliciting an underage girl. Evidence in multiple legal and criminal cases has also shed light on these connections.

Am I the only one who thinks there’s been enough of the files to prove that he is a pedophile? Or am I missing something? Where’s the outrage from the Republicans? 77% of Americans according to the polls want the files released which means Republicans as well. Are they hiding under a rock or what? 🔄

The authoritarianism taking shape in the United States today is not an aberration. It is an inheritance. It is the continuation of one of its oldest governing doctrines: Manifest Destiny.

Manifest Destiny Never Ended
What looks like a new authoritarian turn is the return of an old governing logic—one that treats land, life, and dissent as obstacles to be cleared.

But his intention to train European fascists and put them in contact with super-rich backers was very clear.
