The U.S. Released the Epstein Files. The Arrests Are Overseas.

This article should have made the basic point that other countries are governed by the rule of law. It’s not about β€œeagerness” to prosecute and it’s not a puzzle. It’s a marker of a deep US problem.

Funny how our Senate and Congress were firmly against all wars and military action for the last 4 years when Ukraine was obliterated but now it’s absolute silence

Unpopular opinion. Democrats boycotting the State of the Union does not help anyone. As a Democrat I want them to be there and boo and yell and protest like GOP did when Biden spoke. I need people yelling β€œliar.” I need people to show up not stay away.

Today is the day that 4 years ago I watched bombs strike my birth city in Ukraine and I sobbed in disbelief. And yet, still, 4 years later, missiles, drones, bombs strike my city and leave my friends and family hungry, cold, hopeless. Not enough help. Not enough efforts.

I am a Psychologist with Tourette’s and have family with Tourette’s and specialize in treating children with Tourette’s. While I am very happy there’s a movie bringing attention to Tourette’s, only a tiny number of people will have it severe and also we have excellent treatment options.
