This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.

That’s one the many problems with today’s media. They still invite this pig on their panels like he’s an outside observer when he’s neck deep in the problem.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

In which a white cop sticks his elbows out while walking the wrong way to assault Black men just doing their fucking job, so he can act like an aggrieved victim and maybe start some shit because he's a racist piece of shit on a resting state power trip. America.

The actual thing that will "dismantle" patriarchy is more or this, more intensely and committed:
MORE MEN SPEAKING ON IT.
Speaking against predators, and predatorial behavior.
More men clocking it, calling it out and stomping it out.
It will ALWAYS be on men to correct other men's behavior.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

The bane of my existence for years at this point: MSM & Dems engaging with & meeting lies, obfuscations, endless sophistry / circular arguments w/attempts at goodfaith public square arguments over supposed data/policy. Just call out the lie & liars themselves. It’s not about policy.

Don’t waste your time fact-checking these numbers, don’t engage Vance's vile propaganda as if he was advancing an argument in good faith.
Call out the underlying political project: A violent, authoritarian blood-and-soil nationalism that defines “America” as a white Christian homeland.

The big question for the future is:
Do we join the ICC and hand everyone including Bondi over to The Hague, or do we do a Nuremberg-style set of post-fascist trials here in the US?
It’s one or the other

One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

Not for nothing, this is one reason why we say "pregnant patient" instead of "woman." It's not just for non-binary inclusion.
In addition to the fact that it's very much the power imbalance and legal responsibility to protect them that makes them children, it's also disturbing that so many people are willingly like "listen, 15 year olds are hot, and that's a fact." They are children. They look like children.
