You have to do this to every Democratic aligned guy in those emails. It’s a cancer that needs to be cut out
Per CNN, Elizabeth Warren is calling on Harvard to cut ties with Larry Summers after Jeffrey Epstein's emails released last week by House Dems featured Summers making sexist comments + asking for Epstein’s romantic advice.

This bit of the carceral state charging apprehended or incarcerated families for everything -- phone calls, health care, even room and board in the prisons -- is just really the point where neoliberal wealth extraction and pointed racist cruelty meet and commingle
NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill.

Not really sure how much clearer Republicans can be about not wanting international tourism, but here you go. Yes, the World Cup is here. Yes, you can pay exorbitant prices to come here and see it. But we don’t want you here and you need to get out immediately.

Trump will not just be four years of bad management. The culture of these organizations will be fucked for a long time. The pressure to retaliate and clean house will be strong, and no-one wants to work in a war zone.
