Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released.

https://joshwho.net/EpsteinList/black-book-unredacted.pdf (verified pre-Bondi) Trump is on page 85, or pdf pg. 80

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

Trump’s promise to his daughter: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-ivanka-trump-dating-promise_n_57ee98cbe4b024a52d2ead02 “I have a deal with her. She’s 17 and doing great ― Ivanka. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”

Trump’s modeling agency was probably part of Jeffreys pipeline: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/08/donald-trump-model-management-illegal-immigration/

What a coincidence, that's also what Putin wants.

[–] Iapetus@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

It shouldn't bother me as much as it does that despite everything visibly getting worse in real time around us, and fascism literally being on the rise everywhere, there's still people pushing dangerously stupid propaganda like this thread claiming the earth can support billions more people and that perfect communism is possible.

The mental gymnastics involved here require an ice pick to the brain.

As an American: we aren’t your allies anymore. Please, I beg you, treat this situation seriously, and act accordingly. You will be forced to make some harrowing decisions before this settles into a steady state. And please note that trying to preserve the status quo ante (that no longer exists) is a complete waste of resources at this point. Even in the best case, you will almost certainly have to significantly change how you frame your interactions with us.

I don’t say this gleefully. It breaks my heart in so many different ways to have to say this, much less so often, and to so many people. But it’s what’s happening, and ignoring the situation is actively harmful, and will likely (well, is, and will continue to) get lots of people killed, and make a shitload of peoples lives worse all around the world.

The day I have to bow my head in front of neo-nazis and fascists is the day they cut it off.

Alerta, antifascista! No pasaran!

For the good of the world Trump needs to go.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

With Friedrich Merz, the US unfortunately already has the German chancellor more or less in its pocket: The man was Head of the supervisory board of Black Rock Germany until 2020, was chairman of the "Atlantik Brücke" from 2009 to 2016, a lobby organization for economic relations between Germany and the US, held various positions in other business-related lobby organizations, and stands for almost the same kind of mindless hate speech against foreigners as MAGA.

In short, it is fair to say that Merz is more of a US lobbyist than a politician.

He is certainly not the best pick, was considered very conservative 30 years ago, but I don't think he is an open pro US lobbyist. From what you hear in the news, he seems to cooperate quite well with France and the like.

Makes sense. Trump is willing to burn america to the ground in order to be king emperor of the world.

Musk outspokenly supported AfD (German's far-right populist party) before the last election, in 2024 already, and did much the same in the UK. Even though he's fallen out of grace now, the headline is a forgone conclusion.

I'd still like to know more about it, but the article is paywalled :(

And the El Pais link seems borked, here it is again:

Try that again but remove thw word democratic, and also add that the USA is not alone in this effort.
