Hello everyone, it’s important that we realize just how oppressive the Epstein class has become, and nothing shows this more strikingly than EFTA01830200.

Apparently back in 2010 Epstein paid Seckel tens of thousands of dollars to clean up his image online. They used bots and hacking campaigns to drive the sex trafficking news stories out of search results and instead pushed Epstein’s supposed "philanthropic work" funding scientists. They also fucked with his Wikipedia page big time. You want proof we’re living in 1984 and the Mandela effect isn't just your imagination? This is it right here.

That was 16 years ago, now imagine the unseen shit they’re doing with the tools of today, like targeting individuals. It’s only going to get worse.

This file is a scan of a web printout of (once) publicly available data from the NY State Sex Offenders Database. Yet all the licence plates of all his vehicles and his Paris address are redacted, over 5 years after his death.

This is proabably the most blatant evidence so far the perpertrators, even when deceased, are being protected with redactions, which is a clear violation of the EFTA. {Sec 2.a.3 & 2.b, not to mention they failed to disclose why Sec 3.2}

There it is folks.

Remember that name: Chabad-Lubavitch

declassified FBI memo from the Epstein files, released on Friday, includes incendiary allegations about US President Donald Trump.

The memo says that Trump was “compromised by Israel”, that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epsteinworked with Israeli intelligence, and that a Jewish religious group calling itself Chabad-Lubavitch sought to hijack his first term in office.

The memo, written in 2020, formed part of an FBI investigation into domestic or foreign influence over the US electoral process. It draws on information from a confidential human source (CHS) and appears among a vast trove of Epstein-related files released by the US Justice Department.

“CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency,” the memo states regarding his first term. 

Chabad-Lubavitch, a religious Jewish sect founded in Russia, has grown to an estimated 90,000 members. Its messianic, ultra-Orthodox ideology has repeatedly been linked to hardline settler colonial politics in Palestine.

The killing of Alex Pretti, and the immediate lies and propaganda about his death from President Trump and his cronies, offer another dangerous example of how authoritarianism threatens our democracy. The administration immediately blamed the victim—a nurse who worked at a VA hospital—attempting to gaslight the public into not believing their own eyes. This is a clear hallmark of authoritarianism. The president and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have tried to wrongly frame Pretti, prior shooting victim Renee Good, and others as domestic terrorists, because they dared challenge the Trump administration’s illegal and immoral actions.

As I have written elsewhere, authoritarianism in today’s world comes about by chipping away at democracy, piece by piece. We are witnessing state-perpetuated violence and the rapid erosion of democratic norms that put all of our families at risk. Consolidation of executive power, with acquiescence of Congress and the highly partisan Supreme Court, are serious warnings of authoritarianism in the United States. But we know we can defeat authoritarianism, and history provides powerful lessons for the special role that scientists can and must play to defend democracy.

Scientists play a part in civil society

The vast majority of Americans—77%—trust scientists to act in the public’s best interests, according to a poll just released in January 2026. Scientists as a group have higher levels of public confidence than many other groups, including business leaders and elected officials. We must also recognize that democracy is an enabling environment for science, which is premised on an unfettered search for truth. The attacks on science in the past year under the administration’s funding cuts for lifesaving research slashed tens of thousands of scientific jobs, used fear and intimidation to stop scientists from speaking to the public, extorted universities, and ignored the best available evidence for policy making. The Trump administration has even ordered USDA scientists to investigate their international collaborators. This is the chipping away that threatens not only science, but democracy. Scientists cannot keep our heads down. We must use the trust the public has placed in us to help protect our neighbors, our communities, and our country.

These tactics below are simple, no-nonsense actions proven to defend against authoritarianism. But to be effective, you must start. Immediately. Apathy and despair are powerful weapons of authoritarianism, because they allow silence, fear and resignation to thrive. Courage—the triumph over fear—will help us defend democracy.

1. Speak out, fight propaganda

When democratic norms are threatened, we must speak out. Challenge authoritarian rhetoric in your own social circles. Learn to speak out against the dehumanization used by President Trump and his cronies as they seek to divide “us” and “them.” If you are able, write an op ed, engage with media, make your voice public. Those of us opposing the Trump administration’s authoritarianism are actually a majority. Normalize speaking out against state-sponsored violence and propaganda. Do not wait for them to come for you.

2. Show up, build community

For those of us able to do so, it’s time to use and protect the public square. Learn how to practice nonviolent resistance and show up to rallies, marches, vigils, meetings, and more. We are most powerful when we work in coalition with others. Use a toolkit to find and work with others or start a local rapid response network. Build community by connecting with groups already organizing, like faith groups, schools, local nonprofits, veterans groups, and unions. Push the scientific and professional societies you’re part of to publicly challenge the rising authoritarianism: urge conference organizers to include themes on authoritarianism and democracy, support independent science initiatives, and fight for scientific integrity.

3. Hold elected leaders accountable

Holding elected leaders accountable is a critical feature of democracy. Those leaders work for us, not for a party, president, or ideology. While Congress has played a key role in allowing President Trump’s authoritarian tactics, demanding accountability is the path back to democracy. To stop further consolidation of power, we must fight for the rule of law. Call your elected leaders, from local to state to federal, as it is proven to make an impact. Use the Ballotpedia tool to identify your elected leaders and their contact information. Use a toolkit to help you advocate effectively. Learn to write a sign-on letter. Share your story of how you have been personally impacted. Attend a town hall or local meeting. Remind your elected leaders that their power is derived from you, the public.

4. Defend elections now

Authoritarians seek to corrupt elections by undermining the norms, institutions and minority rights critical to a true electoral democracy. They tilt the rules in their favor through tactics like gerrymandering; they suppress votes through restrictive voter laws; and, historically, the worst regimes have tried to deter voting and civic participation through fear and intimidation, including the use of military forces on neighborhood streets.

In the wake of the killing of Alex Pretti, US Attorney General Pam Bondi demanded the Governor of Minnesota turn over voter rolls, to which the federal government has no Constitutional right, before the federal government would reduce the presence of immigration agents in Minneapolis—directly connecting the intimidation of Minnesotans with the administration’s effort to control and manipulate elections.

To safeguard elections you can volunteer to become a poll worker, engage your community on issues and candidates through events, or support get out the vote efforts. Learn and train others to fight election disinformation—deliberately false information about voting, election security, election outcomes and more meant to change voter behavior. States hold the key to protecting election systems and structure, so hold your local leaders accountable.

5. Provide mutual aid for others

Mutual aid is an act of resistance that fights fear and builds solidarity. Mutual aid is about neighbors helping each other by exchanging material resources and services, such as delivering groceries to folks who cannot safely leave their house. Mutual aid turns networks of care into networks of power and reduces dependence on coercive institutions. Talk to neighbors, faith groups, and schools to see if there are immediate needs. Use the mutual aid hub or check local social media to find ways you can support your own community. Learn more and share with others about the benefits of mutual aid, or go deeper and learn how to get involved with mutual aid organizing.

Resistance is an act of hope

Scholars who have studied authoritarianism around the world note the gravest danger is not repression but complacency. President Trump and his cronies will continue to use fear and intimidation, and we must guard against exhaustion and resignation. Now is the time for scientists to step forward: to speak publicly against state-sponsored violence, to stand up for evidence-based policy, to advocate for institutions and norms that protect scientific integrity, and to engage your communities in the shared work of defending democracy.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requests support from the Department of War (DoW) to provide existing infrastructure to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a component of DHS, specifically an area for parking approximately 300-500 vehicles and 10 storage trailers, a ready room space for approximal 500-800 CBP personnel, a space to house, maintain and operate five CBP Air Assets, access to a magazine to store munitions, and other necessary facilities to support operations in the Minneapolis, Minnesota metropolitan area,” the email said,

The approval strongly suggests that any withdrawal without prosecution of ICE and Border Patrol is temporary, and that they are planning on a return in greater numbers.

This post uses a gift link which requires some people to register. Not including an archive.is paywall bypass because Hearst's lawyers dont like it when people cut and paste their article URLs into that site.

The Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA) has expressed “profound dismay” and “unequivocal rejection” of a decision by the US Department of the Treasury to sanction it over its role in organising Gaza aid flotillas.

The organisation described the move as part of a “continued pattern of political targeting against Palestinian structures and organisations operating abroad”, particularly amid growing international solidarity with Palestinians during the Israeli war on Gaza.

The sanctions on Wednesday also identified six other groups: Waed Society, Al-Nur, Qawafil, Al-Falah, Merciful Hands and Al-Salameh.

The websites and Facebook pages of these groups show projects designed to help amputees from a series of wars in Gaza, as well as advocacy campaigns for Palestinians held in Israel.

so yeah if you try to find this news article, at least on the first page of Google and I guess now DuckDuckGo toO you just gonna find a bunch of puff pieces about how much of a solid try the Democrats are putting in “refusing to increase” ice’s funding.

Fuck america

Donny’s feeling the heat. Keep the fire going. Let’s make 2026 the year of accountability

President Donald Trump has called on the Justice Department to release the names of all Democrats tied to Jeffrey Epstein, as he called the controversy over the so-called Epstein files a “witch hunt” and a “Democrat inspired hoax.”

“Now 1,000,000 more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat inspired Hoax,” Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social. 

“When do they say NO MORE, and work on Election Fraud etc. The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans. Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our Country! The Radical Left doesn’t want people talking about TRUMP & REPUBLICAN SUCCESS, only a long ago dead Jeffrey Epstein - Just another Witch Hunt,” he added.
