To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015
What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

I was thinking today how Julie Brown broke one of the biggest corruption stories in US history and barely gets any credit for it.

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I’m reading a book about The Barbizon, the residence for single women, and that NYT op-ed felt like the debates they were having back in the 1930s about women in the office. It’s really disheartening.
The thing about asking what’s ruining workplaces is that it’s a fascinating subject to explore esp post pandemic. Lost opportunity to decide to use women as flaming human shield to douse curiosity about what and who may be making work feel so grim

Let us be incredibly, abundantly clear:
We are demanding that Chuck Schumer resign for his continued betrayal of the American people.
If he does not willingly step aside, we are calling on the Senators in the Dem caucus to remove him and Dick Durbin from Senate leadership.
