Aside from Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, none of his associates have been criminally charged in the U.S. Millions of pages of Justice Department records help explain why, and how Epstein was able to act with impunity for so long. trib.al/Jw3IVYj

Report of attempted whitewashing at Mississippi civil rights monument under dispute Reports conflict about the National Park Service’s attempt to update brochures on Medgar Evers, who was killed by a white supremacist in 1963.

Props to @san.com for being the first news org I've seen to cite our stories debunking the claim that staffers at the Medgar and Myrlie Evers National Monument removed brochures describing Medgar Evers' assassin as racist.

Dozens of other news orgs uncritically repeated the erroneous claim.

High rents outpace federal disability payments, leaving many homeless Supplemental Security Income, a federal program meant to be a financial floor for people unable to work, hasn't kept pace with inflation. Many recipients are homeless, unable to save for an apartment.

A reminder: there is not a single housing market in Americaβ€”not one city, state, or countyβ€”where someone relying on SSI can afford a one-bedroom apartment.

Deaths like these are always preceded by engineered abandonment. Disproportionate homelessness among people with disabilities is no accident.
