"Epstein. Palestine. There is so much that needs to be said."
And yet, as she also says, how hard to direct atention these subjects in the middle of summer heat as many of us are traveling and not paying attention to the news — especially when so much is being said daily.
Analysis: The US & Israel, alone, voted against a 2021 UN resolution to make food a human right.
The Gaza aid blockade foretold:
"The UN resolution was adopted despite opposition from Washington & Tel Aviv."
It reaffirmed that “starvation of civilians as a method of combat is prohibited under international humanitarian law."

But guess what, sometimes they publish facts & evidence.
It's called discriminating between lies and truth. Doing so is called free speech.

Among the Moss Piglets: The First Image of a Tardigrade (1773)
The very first drawing of the microscopic "water bear" by a theologian turned microscope explorer.The Public Domain Review
Seeing these posts of drawings from 150+ years ago, has really helped me understand the difference between learning from illustrations vs learning from photograph.
I remember a point in childhood where textbooks started to populate with more photographs than drawings, & I truly believed that the shiny, colorful pages of photographs were superior to the flat, boring pages of illustrations. How wrong I was!
Now, I appreciate the process of drawing as part of learning. Tyvm. 🌸

My money is on commutation and head spinning immediate deportation, out of the reach of Democratic or legal subpoena. She has three passports (that we know of) US, UK, France, and a reported stash in an overseas bank.
She traded her testimony for Trump's benefit, and the grift will be on full display.
Will this stop the bad PR? Unlikely, but they are neutralizing witnesses, as they appear. But Trump needs her silence, and he has Russian friends who help people fall out one story windows to their deaths. Maxwell is a fool to trust Trump, but she must think she has kompromot safe from his designs. She doesn't.

Acting on his mob boss instincts, Trump was eager to get to Maxwell first and ensure her story would align with his."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"The prospect of a pardon for a monster like Maxwell is horrifying, but that’s also why it’s actually a terrible public relations move. The visits and lengthy interviews by Blanche—which violate every norm in the U.S. Attorney’s office because he was once Trump’s personal attorney and seems to be acting to protect him now—have also served to keep the Epstein matter at the top of the headlines."
