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

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Yesterday the UK stopped sharing certain intelligence with America.
They think, like many of us, that murdering people in boats is illegal.
The UN stated that it amounted to extra judicial executions.
America is becoming a pariah state.
Think about that
You are all caught up.

Made everything worse, and they're still blaming immigrants because the far right understands that the last thing anyone wants to do is bear the shame of their own mistakes bsky.app/profile/chri...
The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.
I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?
