Today is a good day for people to be reminded that we actually *can* hold the wealthy and powerful accountable, we just have to put in the work to get there.
If your elected official isn’t willing to put in the work, kick their ass out and find someone who will (that might end up being you!)

It's wild that, here in the US, we can't seem to find any evidence implicating third-parties of criminal conduct in the Epstein files, but they are easily finding that evidence everywhere else.
And, they are acting on it.

I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.

A man claims his grandmother in Colombia—a former housekeeper at Epstein’s Manhattan home—kept hidden memory cards, photos, and tapes when she was fired. He says it includes child abuse evidence, and both ABC and Fox refused to release it. If true, she may be holding what investigators searched for.

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

Good idea.. this needs to go viral.
Voters need this type of info to gauge the depth of fascism in our media, and vote accordingly this fall.

Skip right to the interview and boost its viewcount (currently at 939k). Maybe leave it running several times after you watch:

I’ve said this before but AOC is one of McBride’s most steadfast supporters in Congress and has defended McBride from so much of the transphobia she faces. I regularly see her go out of her way to say hi to McBride or walk out of votes together.

The LAPD is citing truancy laws in an attempt to squash the ongoing school walkouts against ICE. The LAPD is also threatening to arrest any parents or adults who support the kids in their acts of civil disobedience.

More to the point, I expect any candidate who wants my vote (or help) in ‘28 to 1) have a plan to get justice for the destruction of USAID and 2) to have ambitions for how to bring it (or something like it) back online, even if it’s on a longer timeline.

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

If anyone wants an example of the kind of stuff I wish more Democrats would do when it comes to defending trans rights, look no further than this from @jayapal.house.gov
My Trans Bill of Rights protects the freedom for all trans people to live as their full, authentic selves. It’s time to get this passed!
