Wall-to-wall discourse around sexual violence is pretty unbearable, and I say that as someone who reports on discourse about sexual violence. For anyone who needs to hear this, it is okay to take a break. It is okay to stop scrolling or to not be able to come up with something to say right now.

Near the back. Walking up, saw a man kneeling beside a bike cart, trying to rinse out the eyes of a toddler sitting in it. Don’t think she was old enough to speak. They had quickly moved out of the smoke to where we were. They moved out of there again as the smoke started moving close to us.

Each time I point out that the Republican platform is simple (they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it), a few people think I'm exaggerating, and usually some small number of people think I'm being sardonic or something. I mean it quite literally.

This is a good point re: Portland today

This wasn't on federal land

It wasn't when agents were claiming to do any enforcement activity

It was federal agents shooting gas at children and union families in the streets

Im not a lawyer, but I dont see how qualified immunity counts here

It's assault
People need to understand that this protest was approved by city. The fact that the public still got gassed & flash bangs shows that city does NOT have the public’s back.

/5 The people who normalized and promoted Jeffrey Epstein after his conviction sent the message that he was safe now.

Children got raped under the shadow of that message.

/4 How MUCH did it help him rape children that people were sucking up to him, joining social events with him, treating him as a respected philanthropist, normalizing him having lots of social traffic?

I don’t know. But any reasonable person would predict it would have an impact.

/2 Jeffrey Epstein had a greater ability to continue to rape children and facilitate their rape because he was not treated as a pariah. It allowed him to continue to move in elite circles. It gave him contacts and support. It gave him access to people who wanted to be provided with children to rape.

Jeffrey Epstein did not stop raping children after his 2008 conviction. Jeffrey Epstein did not stop facilitating the rape of children after his 2008 conviction. He kept doing it.

That is the context of people treating him as a normal person after his conviction.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

How to Film ICE
Filming federal agents in public is legal, but avoiding a dangerous—even deadly—confrontation isn’t guaranteed. Here’s how to record ICE and CBP agents as safely as possible and have an impact.

BTW, if Senate Dems want technical reforms, here's one: amend 8 USC 1357 so DHS agents do not have power to arrest without a judicial warrant unless they are GS-1811, grade of GS-13 or higher.

Real criminal investigations would be unaffected, but CBP & ICE goon squads would be severely limited.

It's disturbing to see many of the the major figures in moral cognition all over the Epstein files

He was friendly with a huge number of the leading figures in the field, including giving millions to their labs, long after he pled guilty to sexually abusing young girls
