Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

I'm still so angry about this I'm going to spend time this weekend emailing every elected official I've got. Plus Cassidy just for fun.
If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees.
This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

FFS. Call your senators!
The House will be structuring the SAVE Act as an amendment to a Senate bill, so that the Senate doesn’t have to deal with a debatable motion to proceed.
But you can filibuster a motion to proceed even if it’s nondebatable, such that it becomes necessary to use cloture:

This thread is the explanation for why the needle never moved on gun control after Sandy Hook.
The Right has spent years trying to push a return to child labor and attacking age of consent laws. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they’re exposing us to mountains of the most horrendous stuff imaginable while also normalizing it.
So much of what’s happening is the destruction of childhood.

No installed tech is ever really gone even when it's decommissioned. The only way was to refuse to install it to begin with.
In Fantasyland, you could pull the backup tapes from 1/19/25 and install them across everything but the 1st person that says "oh, but we should keep this one new thing"..

So while there may be rollbacks, I feel it is unlikely to ever go back to pre-2025, because having covered fed IT and cyber issues for a decade, I know that interoperability is a huge issue. Even where connecting data would be legal/benign, it was a technical challenge that has now been solved.
There will need to be a MoonShot-equivalent governmental commitment to the erasure of these illegal databases, the re-protection of personally identifiable data, an evaluation of every govt IT system touched by DOGE, GrokxAI and Palantir, and the prosecution of the offeding companies and their CEOs.

The Epstein 4chan /pol connection is breaking my brain. Couple that with claims that Ghislaine Maxwell was a power mod on reddit and it just seems like the entirety of the 2010s internet culture was influenced by Epstein and his associates.
