Guys I found the best Epstein Files email. The one that illuminates an elite class that's cocooned themselves into an unaccountable shell of wealth and privilege, fighting to protect their secrets and offenses.
I could write a novel about this email.

Donald Trump’s FCC pushed CBS to scrap the interview of Texas Democrat James Talarico with Stephen Colbert last night on the eve of early voting for the Texas Senate primary.

This is the dictator playbook.

It’s been an emotional morning. Jesse Jackson died today.

This poem he recited to these children on Sesame Street in 1973 was what America was striving towards. We can get there again.

We are all somebody.

#JesseJackson #ProudBlue
Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.

During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem “I Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment

The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there
agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Remember Mitt Romney & other GOP politicians railing about poor people being "takers, not makers?"

The reverse is true: this & the Epstein files show that many wealthy & powerful men are takers. Thieves, really.

They plunder women's bodies as they plunder society via tax evasion. Same entitlement.

Shock around Rubio speech seems a variation of same delusion that led legacy media to inaccurately declare it a softer touch, as if Rubio, a Latino man who once disputed Trumpism, is an alternative voice. He’s not. He joined fascism; now he’s a fascist; he gave a fascist speech, because fascism.
