Marjorie Taylor Greene sends deeply concerning suicide message to fans

To be clear to set the record straight on my support for the Massie Epstein discharge petition.I stand with girls and women who are sexually abused and raped.
Period. Every time. At all times.
For me, it’s not about a pissing contest between political parties or political enemies.
The Epstein rape and pedophile network must be exposed.
The women and their attorney have said over and over that Donald Trump did nothing wrong and he was the only one that helped the women. That is factually true.
Also, the Democrats who had power for the past four years never did a single thing or showed they even cared about these women who were victims of Jeffrey Epstein. They could have exposed the entire thing while they had power but never lifted a finger to do so.
If anyone is implicated, then they have the right to clear their name.
Just as millions of Americans have had to do when falsely accused of a crime.
I’ve had to do that many times and even had to defend myself against lies and pay massive attorney bills to do it.
For example, I was wrongly accused of insurrection and actually had to sit on a witness stand, in a Georgia court of law, and defend myself and clear my name.
Release all the Epstein information by any means possible.
And return the focus to helping Americans.
I hear daily about how Americans can’t afford to pay their health insurance monthly premium, can’t afford rent, can’t afford to buy a home, can’t afford to pay for care for their aging parents, and can’t afford life in general.
The obsession over the Epstein files and fighting about it should not be happening and needs to end.
But it’s only an issue in the news because it has become a political fight and it should not be one.
My name is staying on the discharge petition and I will dive into the Oversight committee investigation just as I do with every investigation.
And to be clear once again, I stand with the women, and the women who were raped at 14.

Just what we need in these unsettling times: A “The Day After” for the 21st century, reminding us that nuclear weapons can still bring the planet to the brink and beyond. Kathryn Bigelow's “A House of Dynamite” is getting strong reviews, and it seems like it might traumatize a new generation of viewers as “The Day After” did in 1983. Coming to Netflix October 24.

Testament (1983) is to America what Threads is to the UK. Nuclear war aftermath but focused on one neighborhood. Supremely depressing.
Interesting, so the most radioactive things here at my house (only slightly above background, not terribly radioactive):
1. Granite countertop (this is a known thing)
2. Night lights (apparently, tritium in there to make them glow)
3. Smoke detectors (bit o'radioactivity in there)
4. Rebar in the garden (hmmmmmmmmmmmm... apparently some radioactivity in the stream, this is where it's shown up in massive contamination events in the past, i.e Ciudad Juarez and the radioactive Taiwanese apartments).
5. Maybe (tough to tell) -- some of the newer drywall. Only slightly more active against it, not a lot.
What provides far more clicking was standing out in the sun. LOL
I am on the #HOA board for my small condo (25 units) in #Phoenix. Just got this from an owner:
“Evo, the rain is falling so quickly that I’m concerned about the level of water in the pool. Is the water draining at all after a certain point or do we need to physically remove a stopper to drain away some water?”
We’ve had 1.5” of rain.
And a pool is not a tub.
🤦

3.55 Francia, Regno Unito e Germania hanno messo in guardia l'Iran contro "azioni di escalation" a seguito della reintroduzione delle sanzioni Onu dopo il fallimento dei colloqui sul nucleare. La reintroduzione delle sanzioni Onu,si legge in una nota dei tre ministeri degli Esteri,non significa la fine della diplomazia. Esortiamo l'Iran ad evitare qualsiasi escalation e a tornare a rispettare gli obblighi di salvaguardia giuridicamente vincolanti", stipulati con gli accordi del 2015. #televideo #ultimaora
The acquisition of knowledge is so slow.
I wish there really were a "tree of the knowledge of good and evil". I would eat that fruit in a heartbeat.
I learn in order to communicate what I find good & useful. That means I must spend so much time where I am only learning & thinking but not yet sharing.
It always makes me afraid that I am being selfish. The world is on fire, & I sit here reading, hoping against hope that what I find will be of use to more than just me.
On a certain level, I'm just glad to be here, sharing this world with you.
It's a world with pain & suffering, to be sure, but it's also what connects me to you.
You are not insufficient. You are not too small or too weak. You are not without value.
You're here, & I'm glad. I'm glad to share whatever all this is *(gestures vaguely at existence)* with others.
We don't have to be heroes or martyrs.
We just have to live & try.
As a child, I learned to fear my own imperfection. God was perfect, & I was to be like God.
My life was one of constant failure. I could never be good enough, kind enough, self-sacrificing enough, or morally correct enough.
In my mind, every moment is a chance to fail to live up to what I should or could be.
I have to let this belief go & just live & be & do & let it be enough.

Portland, Oregon, this 27th day of September, Anno Domini 2025
My Dearest Bedelia,
I scrawl this by lantern light, surrounded by the tattered remnants of our regiment, their man buns sagging, their ironic beards singed by the flames of battle. We are a pitiful sight, but proud still. The National Guard came to crush us, to stamp out our rebellion with their Humvees and riot shields, but they did not reckon with the sheer resilience of men armed with cold brew and irony.
The field was chaos. Bearded cavalrymen on fixed-gear bicycles charged the line, their handlebars glinting in the sun. Squadrons of man-bun sharpshooters took position atop food carts, raining down insults about craft beer purity standards. The Guard returned fire with rubber bullets, but the beards absorbed much of the impact, acting as natural armor, thickened by years of kombucha and smug self-regard.
I myself led a company of artisanal soap-makers into the fray. Their musk of sandalwood and bergamot confused the enemy, who mistook it for some new chemical weapon. In truth, it was nothing more than the pungent sweat of men who have not used deodorant since Occupy.
And lo, Bedelia, we prevailed. The Guard faltered, overwhelmed not by our firepower, but by our sheer commitment to ironic detachment. One Guardsman, poor boy, dropped his weapon and confessed he could no longer fight after being mocked for his mainstream haircut. Truly, our sarcasm cuts deeper than any blade.
Now the city is ours again, for the moment. The men gather round, grooming their mustaches, tying their topknots, and sipping bitter IPAs brewed in bathtubs. I miss you terribly, my sweet Bedelia. Were you here, I would crown you with a wreath of kale and serenade you with banjo strums, though out of tune they may be.
Pray for us, for tomorrow the Guard may return, and our beards will again be put to the test.
Yours always,
Major Hugo “Manbun” Reynolds, Stumptown Volunteers
