One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

continue to think that if instead of "raw milk" we called it "doodoo milk" people would understand the risk proposition
This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all.
"Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact."

The most impressive thing about Bari is her ability to violate ethical principles while indignantly claiming to defend them.
Weiss concluded: “We need to be able to make every effort to get the principals on the record and on camera. To me, our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else. And that is my North Star, and I hope it's the North Star of every person in this newsroom.”

There’s literally a straight line between Trump, Epstein, and the retaliatory lawsuits against women who came forward with allegations against celebrity men like Amber Heard and Blake Lively. They all even have the same PR folks. And yet people still refuse to see it

There's a point, well below a billion dollars, where the amount of money you have lets you rid yourself of anyone who can be a check on your worst impulses, and replace them with people who tell you those worst impulses are somehow valorous. Rare is the billionaire with someone to tell them "no."
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

Because I have no gender.
Especially right now, transgender people are living with a lot of anxiety.
Why are transgender people not allowed to freely love the people they want to love?
Why can't transgender individuals live their lives with the soul they prefer?

IMO "can you separate the art from the artist" is a question I'm no longer interested in, if I ever was. Our relationship with a work changes all the time, we gain new experiences & info all the time, no matter what, it's not static. Those new bits of information can bring about altered rel to work

To believe Gaiman innocent fundamentally means I'd have to believe that many, many, different women were making near-identical accusations independently, some with physical and documentary evidence, for no gain to themselves.

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.
University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

this particular line is maybe the best statement of purpose i have seen for those of us who want a more militant opposition to this administration
“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”
From Powerlessness to Power
We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance.

Quite the contrast:
In one part of the Epstein files, DOJ published unredacted nude images of women and potentially minors.
In another part, officials redacted President Trump’s face from a news image that was shared in a text exchange.

"How is it misogyny if you're a man?"
1. Misogyny doesn't affect only women.
2. We are not seen as men. People view us as confused little girls or defective women.
It is DEEPLY, to its roots, attached to misogyny.

i dont like that people are too afraid to call transphobia against trans men and transmasculine ppl misogyny and instead call it "transandrophobia" and i hope ppl feel less scared of using misogyny to describe it in the future bc thats literally what it is

I had blindly assumed that the agents were new hires.
Not so. One has been with CBP for over a a decade and the other nearly a decade.
