When the U.S. House Oversight Committee released 20,000 of Jeffrey Epstein's emails earlier this month, some people wanted to check out the messages for themselves, but without having to wade through the whole digital dump. @motherjonesmag reports on Jmail, which presents the documents as if they were in a Gmail account, with a working search function. Here's how programmer Luke Igel and prankster Riley Walz made it. At the second link, find the inbox, with some familiar names within: Steve Bannon, Quora, and, erm, @Flipboard.

Rev. Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston, was shot in the leg with a pepper ball by state police while protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility, Illinois. He writes for Religion News Service about why he continues to show up at Broadview, the atmosphere at protests there, and religious leaders' obligation to resist tyranny. "It is important for my neighbors who were abducted to know that we will not stop fighting for their release," he writes. "By my estimation, our country is somewhere in 1930s Germany. Fascism is growing in power, but we still have opportunities to resist."

@TheConversationUS Given the massive amount of money currently being spent on ICE and US Customs & Border Protection, they failed miserably keeping this out of the country.

In January, Donald Trump signed an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico, and did his best to strong-arm newsrooms into using its new moniker, the Gulf of America. Nine months, and many executive orders later, how is it going? Nieman Lab's Joshua Benton says the new name hasn't stuck in media, or in general use — to the extent that a Trump-loving retirement community in Florida refused to rename Gulf of Mexico Drive to Gulf of America Drive. Here's more.
