Two Minutes To Midnight (Iron Maiden)

Now that the Doomsday Clock is now officially at 85 seconds to midnight (!) as of January 27, 2026, I felt that this famous 1984 classic rock song by Iron Maiden is rather appropriate at this moment in history:

ENOUGH!

ENOUGH!

Rest in Power, Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Keith Porter, and all of the many others whose lives were cut short by the modern-day Gestapo known as ICE.  Your deaths shall NOT be in vain!

And let's not forget Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez either!

Remember The 1971 May Day Protests

Fun Fact:  When NOTHING else seemed to work to end the Vietnam War, the 1971 May Day protests in DC actually DID work.  Basically, they went right into the belly of the beast and shut down the city by blocking/disrupting traffic for hours.  More than 12,000 people were arrested in total, making it the largest mass arrest in US history, overwhelming the system in the process.  Why are we mentioning this now in this current moment in history?  

No reason.

Rest In Power, Renee Good

Rest In Power, Renee Good.  May her ultimate sacrifice NOT be in vain.  Abolish ICE now, and throw the book at the MURDERER(S) who cut her life way too short.  Then begin the Nuremberg 2.0 trials for this entire evil fascist regime (ALL of them), and hold them in Nuremberg, PA.  Yesterday is not soon enough!

The more protesters take it to the streets, the better!

To any protesters:  No matter how angry you are, and how much you want to "bash the fash" right now, please resist the temptation, and keep it peaceful, lest you play right into their hands.  Show that you are better than the "Not See" thugs.

Keep putting the pressure on him and his administration to release ALL of the files, without blacking them out:

Well, They Finally Released The Files (Or Rather, A Tiny Fraction Of Them)

Well, on the December 19th deadline, they finally released the much-awaited Epstein Files.  Or rather, they released only a relatively tiny fraction of them (exact percentage unknown), and among the ones they DID release, over 500 pages (!) were entirely blacked out, and many others were at least partially redacted as well, while cynically claiming that the rest will be released over the coming weeks (likely with even more redactions).  

So much for transparency!

This move was of course entirely predictable, and sadly not shocking.  And also illegal, as the law requires ALL of the files to be released on or before the deadline.  Seriously, WTF are they trying to hide?  We already know the answer, of course.

FOR THE EPSTEINTH TIME, RELEASE ALL OF THE FILES!  YESTERDAY!

And may this winter be the winter of the Donald's discontent!
