Reposting this because a friend just sent me the Epstein stuff. Everyone in his circle knew! THEY ALL KNEW.
People joke about Trump being an idiot but he’s a fucking monster and everyone around him is complicit in concealing the fact that he is a child rapist.
Epstein victims lawyer Spencer Kuvin: “We now know from the words of the President himself that Virginia was right all along, and that she was trafficked out of Mar-a-Lago.”
Release the files!

The people who showed up to vote for a write-in dem candidate in a Trump+50 special election 2 days before Christmas are democracy's strongest soldiers.
Polls closed in SC at 7 PM ET. Results here: www.enr-scvotes.org/SC/125770/we...
Still *super* early, but in the uncontested #SD21 (around Trump+50), write-ins are currently getting 42% of the vote against Republican Lee Bright.

One of the crappiest trends I'm seeing in my mentorship sessions today is people getting laid off from large corporations after 20-40 years of silo right now. It's really appalling if not unexpected.
If you've been somewhere over 5, 10, 20 years it's worth looking at your employability elsewhere.

It's very important we all go back to Twitter, a website as popular with young people as chlamydia.
Teens turn to a variety of online platforms, but YouTube continues to stand out. Roughly nine-in-ten teens report ever using it. TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat are the next most widely used platforms.

Pretty much the actual best thing you can do to "combat the right" is just keep not using Twitter. Reactionary ideology works by playing into people's emotions and biases. They use people's real fears to sell them on solutions which sound rational but don't work. 1/3
