A lot of people don't seem to realize that the issue for many MAGA people is not if the immigrants are criminals or not. Their issue is that by default, if they are immigrating, they are criminals. The immigration is a criminal act, to them. (Except of course for the white South African refugees!!)

One of the reasons why there are so many professors in the Epstein files is arguably because the long right-wing project of undermining higher education enabled them, not just by turning a blind eye to sexual misconduct but by incentivizing academics to seek out private funding
It feels like it's been impossible to get people outside of higher ed to understand that eliminating staff/programs/majors is primarily an ideological project, whatever claims are made about finances.
What's happened at the Post is what's been happening in higher ed for ages.

This is one of the most sad parts of this whole thing.
Misogyny runs deep in a society when the underlying value is that "women could be lying" is the prevailing thought and not that "the men could be pedophiles".
And this is not isolated, it went on for decades.

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

It is crazy the knots some men will tie themselves into rather than just admit that the feminists were correct and patriarchy is real
For sure man: Larry Summers, Peter Thiel, Ehud Barak, Peter Mandelson, Bill Gates, and basically every other oligarch, power broker and political bigwig in the western power structure were all taken in by a devious Russian plot to enact the precise policy suite they’ve espoused their entire careers.

What if? And hear me out, your obsession with your own children above and beyond doing the right thing, is selfishness? What if you are modeling for your children an extreme indifference that you will hand down to create children who always put their own safety and comfort above everything else?

NYTimes almost always gets this stuff up slightly later than twitter, as do most newspapers of record, because of how the Process works. I also don't think we can really judge what shows up on the NYT "front page" because it's not the "Front page" anymore, it's an algorithm and changes
