As you go through your day, remind yourself…Donald Trump raped children. Because if you don’t, there is no other reason you would guess he was a pedophile.
No apologies from Bafta until Monday evening.

The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

Every day it’s a lot. I appreciate the work on this blog highlighting the worst of the worst just to keep us informed. I would just like to go back to not having to worry about my liberties on a daily basis and see some justice for the actual worst of the worst. I don’t see that happening anytime soon though.
Stay safe all.
These memes are so spot on. I hope we just see the press keep on top of these stories. So many pedophiles, so few court sentences and real justice.
Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump
The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.
Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.
NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers appearing before and after the pages in question, stamped onto documents in the Epstein files database, FBI case records, emails and discovery document logs in the latest tranche of documents published at the end of January. NPR’s investigation found dozens of pages that appear to be catalogued by the Justice Department but not shared publicly
The Justice Department declined to answer NPR’s questions on the record about these specific files, what’s in them, and why they are not published. After publication, the Justice Department reached out to NPR, taking issue with how its responses to questions were framed. Justice Department spokeswoman Natalie Baldassarre reiterated DOJ’s stance that any documents not published are because they are privileged, duplicates or relate to an ongoing federal investigation.
Other files scrubbed from public view pertain to a separate woman who was a key witness for the prosecution in the criminal trial of Epstein’s co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking. Maxwell is seeking clemency from Trump.
Some of those documents were briefly taken down and put back online last week, while others remain hidden, according to NPR’s comparison of the initial dataset from Jan. 30 with document metadata of those files currently on the Justice Department website.
NPR does not name victims of sexual abuse.
When asked for comment about the missing pages and the accusations against the president, a White House spokeswoman told NPR that Trump “has done more for Epstein’s victims than anyone before him.”

Robert Carradine, a member of a Hollywood acting family who starred as a dorky college student in the film “Revenge of the Nerds” and portrayed the well-meaning and sometimes goofy father in the Disney series “Lizzie McGuire,” died on Monday in Los Angeles. He was 71.
His death was announced in a family statement provided by Oren Segal, a representative of Mr. Carradine’s brother Keith. His daughter Ever Carradine said on Tuesday that he had died by suicide. The family said that he had struggled with bipolar disorder for years.
“We are bereft at the loss of this beautiful soul and want to acknowledge Bobby’s valiant struggle against his nearly two-decade battle” with the illness, the statement said. “We hope his journey can shine a light and encourage addressing the stigma that attaches to mental illness.”
Mr. Carradine was born into a family of actors and made his big-screen debut in 1972 in the Western film “The Cowboys.” His half brother David Carradine, who was the star of the 1970s television series “Kung Fu” and the title villain of the “Kill Bill” movies, convinced him to audition for the role.
This needs to be pushed through and passed quickly!

“Democrats introduce ‘Virginia’s law’ bill to end statute of limitations on civil sexual abuse cases
Proposed legislation, named after Virginia Giuffre, a survivor of Epstein’s abuse, also tackles jurisdiction
Democrats in Congress were joined on Capitol Hill by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse to introduce legislation to end the statute of limitations and restrictions on jurisdiction in civil sexual abuse cases.
The move comes less than two weeks after the justice department released 3.5m pages of heavily redacted documents related to Epstein, as ordered by the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act.
“When the truth of Jeffrey Epstein finally started to come out, when the world finally started to listen to their stories, oftentimes the laws in the books said, ‘Sorry, it’s too late. The deadline to bring your case has passed,’” Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, said, introducing the legislation on the Senate floor on Tuesday. He added that the bill – called Virginia’s Law in honor of the late Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most well-known accusers – “will change that, because justice for victims of abuse should not have an expiration date”.
In September 2022, Congress passed a law removing the statute of limitations for victims of child sex abuse, previously set at 28 years old or 10 years after the incident, but the change did not apply to any crimes committed before that date.
Schumer and Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández, who is sponsoring the bill in the House, were joined at the US Capitol by Giuffre’s family, the anti-human trafficking coalition World Without Exploitation and attorney Sigrid McCawley, who represented Giuffre and other survivors of Epstein’s abuse.
Alongwith ending the statute of limitations, Leger Fernández said, Virginia’s Law “clarifies that traffickers cannot escape accountability by committing abuses in another jurisdiction. You don’t get to escape prosecution by simply putting predators and victims on a plane to a private island or a mansion in Florida or a ranch in New Mexico”. Leger Fernández represents New Mexico, where Epstein owned a 10,000-acre ranch outside Santa Fe.”
