Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

Justice Jackson's sharp dissent accuses her Republican-appointed colleagues of abusing the court's shadow docket "to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible." She also takes a dig at their refusal to write opinions explaining their actions.

Not sure if this is reasonable? Flip it to test it. Imagine putting up statues to honor a woman who talked about how men don’t deserve human rights, white people have poor cognitive capacities, Christians are evil, cis people are an abomination, and heterosexual people should be stoned to death.
We were just getting around to tearing down Confederate Monuments that both glorified the American slavocracy and served as a warning and reminder of continued white dominance.
Now we are erecting new Confederate Monuments.
