Not being financially able to start a family and being forced to risk your life during pregnancy isn’t “anti-family propaganda,” — they are anti-family policy decisions.

The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument is home to vibrant ocean life, like the endangered blue whale, and is vital to ocean ecosystems’ health. The Trump administration is opening this protected area to harmful commercial fishing, and we're in court to challenge it. https://t.co/2bUEsNAjdt
She Called The FBI In 1996. They Opened A File. Then They Told Her It Never Existed. She Spent 29 Years Being Called A Liar.
September 3, 1996.
A file is opened inside FBI headquarters.
Classification: child pornography.
The woman who made the call is identified only as "a professional artist."
She described photos she had seen inside a Manhattan mansion. She described the man who owned those photos. She described what she witnessed being done to young girls.
She gave them everything.
Then she waited.
Nobody called back.
Nine years later, a local detective in Palm Beach knocked on a different door. Found forty victims. Handed the FBI photographs, videos, and documented evidence of child trafficking across multiple states.
The FBI opened a formal investigation.
Two years later — they closed it.
One plea deal. Thirteen months. Out by noon every day on work release.
The trafficking continued. The FBI kept receiving tips. For eleven more years, women were brought to his island, his Manhattan townhouse, his private ranch.
For eleven more years — the file sat there.
It took a newspaper reporter to force the arrest in 2019.
Thirty-three days later, he was dead.
Now twelve women — listed only as Doe 1 through Doe 12 — are standing in federal court.
They're not suing his estate.
They're suing the FBI.
They want $100 million. And they want every internal document, every memo, every email showing exactly who received each tip — and made the decision to do nothing.
But here's the part that changes everything.
When the FBI's own internal review was published in 2020 — it didn't mention the 1996 complaint. Not once.
For another five years, the woman who made that call was told: your report doesn't exist.
In December 2025, the DOJ confirmed it did.
One page. Dated September 3, 1996.
Which means someone inside the FBI knew that file existed — and chose not to include it in their own review.
The question isn't whether the file was real.
The question is: who decided to make it disappear?
The Epstein files should have united Americans.
Because the real divide was never left vs right.
It’s the public versus a protected class of wealth and power that believes rules are for other people.

Oh, what we are normalizing!
A report by the Brookings Institution found that more than 100,000 children have been separated from their parents during the Trump regime's immigration crackdown. Roughly three-quarters of the children separated were U.S. citizens. The numbers far eclipsed the 5,500 children who were separated under the first regime's "zero tolerance policy."
The report also found that about 205,000 children have had a parent detained, including 145,000 of which are U.S. citizens.

Farmers are sounding the alarm after President Trump said he will continue allowing China to buy American farmland.
“We’re a stronger nation when we continue to have our own production and our own stewardship of ground that’s owned by domestic farmers.”
“Food security is national security.”
“America's farmers are some of the most productive and efficient in the nation.”
“And that’s done when American farmers own the ground that they grow food on.”
A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper.
Her name is Audrey van der Meer.
She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth.
The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time.
Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen.
Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task.
When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once.
The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected.
When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely.
Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG.
Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events.
The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem.
Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next.
Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve.
Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews.
Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad.
Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page.
A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched.
The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall.
The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down.
The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page.
That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it.
Two studies. Two countries. Same answer.
Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast.
Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth.
You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick.
The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew.
Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.
THIS is how to discuss abortion and women's health!!!👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"When you see Rep. Gill’s shit-eating grin, you’ll know exactly who he is.
Since Rep. Gill is so interested in our favorite types of abortions, I thought I’d share a few of mine.
My favorite type of abortion is the one that prevents a raped ten-year-old from breaking her pelvis in childbirth.
I also like abortions that keep women from carrying dead fetuses for weeks on end, which is what happened to Marlena Stell in Rep. Gill’s home state of Texas.
My favorite abortions are the kind that stop women from going septic, or prevent 28-year-olds from losing both of their fallopian tubes.
Another favorite? The abortion that means a Texas 21-year-old won’t be forced to carry a fetus developing without a head.
I like the abortion that means a pregnant mother of five with cervical cancer doesn’t have to beg a hospital panel for chemotherapy.
I like the abortion that doesn’t force a woman to travel far from home when faced with a fatal fetal abnormality.
I like the abortion that doesn’t force a woman to travel far from home when faced with a fatal fetal abnormality.
I really like the abortion that stops patients from having to plead for help in videos made in hospital parking lots.
My favorite types of abortions are the ones that allow women to live. Maybe if Candi Miller, or Amber Nicole Thurman, or Tierra Walker had access to abortion, they would still be here.
My favorite types of abortions are the ones that allow women to go to college.
My favorite types of abortions are the ones that let women leave abusive relationships.
My favorite kinds of abortions are the ones that mean women get to choose their own life path, to decide what is best for them, and to figure out if and when they want to start a family.
My favorite types of abortions are the ones that allow us to meet the person that we’re supposed to be with.
My number one favorite abortion is probably the one that allowed me to meet my husband and for us to have our daughter, who is now 15 years old.
Actually, scratch that—my favorite is the abortion that saved my life when my daughter was three, and ensured that she didn't grow up without a mother.
So Rep. Gill, it is really hard to choose just one favorite type of abortion. There are so many, and they’re all my favorites. Does that answer your question?"

NOBODY IS TELLING YOU HOW FUCKED THE FARMERS ARE IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW.
The Agriculture Secretary just confirmed it publicly.
1 in 4 American farmers has NO fertilizer secured for spring planting.
No fertilizer. No crops. No food.
Farm bankruptcies are up 46% in 2025.
160,000 farms closed since 2017.
Less than half of all farmers will even turn a profit this year.
They're not struggling. They're being wiped out.
And the media is busy covering everything else.
The real story behind this hasn't been told yet.. follow me because i'm about to tell it 🚨
