Really wild how all these Harvard scientists and mathematics guys constantly talked about how Jeffrey Epstein was this brilliant, "misunderstood" man and then you read his emails and he's clearly a barely literate lecher, extremely easy to understand

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I was just detained by ICE for 10 days despite being a citizen carrying Real ID. But at least I know the Oberlin Student Senate won’t be doing land acknowledgements any more.

This is where I remind the class that Matt Taibbi and Mark Ames' memoir about being American expats in 90s Russia where they talked about how awesome it was to sexually assault teenage girls had its foreward written by Limonov
Yeah, it's amazing how few people have heard about / remember this.
Ever heard of this guy? He participated.

Where has this Hakeem Jeffries been?? This is the Hakeem Jeffries I was happy to financially support!
Reporter: Dr Oz said that—
Jeffries: Who? Nobody who is serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously… I’m not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz who is woefully unqualified.

Instead of Bernie Moreno creepily following us to the cars we use to get to work in the Capitol and writing down their VIN numbers, I'd suggest he use his time in more productive ways …
