And now I mean it ❤️
May we rage when we must and rest when we can.
May we build the peace we so desperately need.
May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires.
The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it.
Shabbat shalom ❤️

This is a KEY point about Epstein, that reaches FAR beyond the UK and the US. It's the stealthy, far right, authoritarian manoeuvring that is stirring up trouble across countries, with an eye on the long-term. That's been the strategy in the US and Russia for decades, largely unseen until too late.
Epstein managed different networks. The UK media has rightly centred the powerful pedophile ring. It has maintained an uncanny silence about the global, anti-democratic, far right political network. Farage is up to his neck in it. If it weren’t for unprecedented double standards it’d be career over.
Dinner with Mr Brexit: Bannon’s European Revolution – Planned with Farage, Backed by Epstein
Nigel Farage was the figurehead and his partner Laure Ferrari started it. Steve Bannon and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were providing almost daily support

You cannot begin to solve a problem until you acknowledge that it is in fact a problem and spend some time looking at its parts
Noticing it’s a mayday situation beyond your nightmares isn’t doomerism if you use information about the world to inform your fight to survive it. Only if you feel helpless but to submit. You have to stare a world in crisis head on & not indulge wishful fantasies things are ok.

If you never learned about politics til your 50s you live a deeply privileged life, because it means power never targeted you.
one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades
always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post
