For a moment, try to put yourself in Zelensky's shoes. When I do so, I imagine the rage he must be feeling as miserable scammers like Kushner and Witkoff treat Putin, a true war criminal, as a hero, while seeking to enrich themselves in corrupt business deals. Z knows that Trump

Fascists winning German elections, blackshirt thug gangs on British streets, and a world descending into war. It’s all very 1933, isn’t it?

[skumm🧊 @skumWgmi]

just got off the phone with my university friend.

His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in March.

He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.

5 months later:
Savings wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren't their problem.

He told me he's not the same person anymore.

Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn't go away.

They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.

One diagnosis all of it in 7 months.

And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting $35 million bonus this quarter.

I don't know how people defend this system with a straight face.

i really don't.

This is becoming surprisingly normal, like Trump being married to an immigrant, Vance being married to the daughter of immigrants.

BREAKING: “JANE DOE” IN EPSTEIN CASE IDENTIFIED! Woman behind massive $72.5 MILLION lawsuit reveals her identity for the FIRST TIME – and tells how she escaped Epstein’s “CULT!”

For more than a year, the Epstein survivor at the center of a massive lawsuit against Bank of America was known to the public only as “Jane Doe.” Now she has a name and a face.

Julia Molchanova, 37, has revealed her identity for the first time in a blockbuster new Wall Street Journal investigation – telling the harrowing story of how Jeffrey Epstein ensnared her when she was just 22 years old.

Molchanova was a young Russian design student who spoke little English when she met Epstein by chance on a New York City street in 2011. He offered to help her get into the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Instead, Molchanova says, he sexually abused her and pulled her into a nightmare that consumed years of her life.

“It was like a cult,” Molchanova told the Journal. “He was very manipulative.”

Epstein controlled what she wore, how long she kept her hair, which doctors she saw, whom she spent time with and how she spent her money, she says. He even had a company put in her name without telling her and used it for financial transactions she didn’t understand and he didn't explain.

Then, in early 2019, Molchanova discovered credit cards and spending she didn’t recognize and started demanding answers.
She wanted to see her tax returns, wanted out of the company and finally confronted Epstein, telling him she wanted to “have my normal life.”

Epstein summoned her to Palm Beach, but Molchanova was terrified to go. “I thought for sure, at that moment, someone would find me on the bottom of his pool if I go." Shortly after, Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges.

Molchanova went on to become “Jane Doe,” the lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit accusing Bank of America of knowingly helping Epstein maintain the financial network serving his sex-trafficking operation despite glaring warning signs.

The bank denied wrongdoing, but agreed to pay $72.5 MILLION to settle the case. The money will go to dozens of Epstein survivors.

Molchanova also pointed to the institutional failure that allowed Epstein to evade justice before he lured her into his web, despite his earlier prosecution for sexually abusing girls.

“The man was supposed to be in jail,” Molchanova told WSJ. “It was the system that failed us.”

That may be the most important line in her entire story.

The payout is a major victory for Epstein’s survivors. But no settlement can start to answer all of the questions that still surround one of the most disturbing sex-trafficking scandals in modern American history – or explain how a wealthy, well-connected predator was allowed to operate for so long.

The Epstein files cannot be allowed to quietly disappear from public attention. Molchanova’s story puts a human face on what is at stake: a young woman who says Epstein controlled her body, her money and her life, who became so frightened of him that she believed answering his summons could get her killed.

She escaped. She fought back. She helped win $72.5 million for his survivors.

Now the world knows her name.

Here is a piece of history about Alice Weidel from AfD party worth knowing🇩🇪🇵🇱

Alice Weidel’s grandfather, Hans Weidel, was not simply “a German who lived during the Nazi era.” He joined the Nazi Party in 1932, joined the SS in 1933, and later became a Wehrmacht military judge. From 1941, he served as a military judge in Nazi occupied Warsaw, and by 1944 he had been promoted to Oberstabsrichter, a senior military judicial position.

That matters because Nazi military justice was not some ordinary court system operating in unfortunate circumstances. It was part of the machinery of the dictatorship. Nazi military courts issued tens of thousands of death sentences, and more than 20,000 were carried out.

Alice Weidel leads AfD. Her party opposes German military support for Ukraine and has advocated ending sanctions on Russia. Weidel herself has called for restoring German economic and energy relations with Russia.

Weidel says she did not know about her grandfather’s Nazi past because there was no meaningful family relationship with him and the subject was not discussed in her family. I don’t believe that, and it’s up to you to judge her.
