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

10 years ago today, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
"They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law," then-Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the ruling. "The Constitution grants them that right."

You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraudulent payment.
"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

THE WORLD REACTS TO TRUMP'S TARIFFS.
Markets have spent the past 24 hours trying to figure out how to respond to Trump’s tariffs.
Some places are trying to negotiate.
Others are already repricing.
There’s a split forming—by leverage, exposure, and belief in how real this is.

I wrote a book about bureaucratic violence and if there’s one thing I wish everyone knew right now, it would be:
The people most harmed can’t tell what’s happening or why. Their lives unravel and, more often than not, they are taught to blame themselves—or other victims.
