People keep saying Criss Angel or David Blaine is the magician, but the average ages of those named so far would, to me, indicate David Copperfield. I don't suggest that with gusto, just an observation
Thomas Massie says the FBI is sitting on information that implicates 20 other men in Epstein's child sex trafficking operation

My mom almost threw away a poster signed by THE BEATLES because she didn't bother to look in the poster tube my dad left behind. It's now hanging in my bedroom because I found it in the trash and rescued it before she could take it out
So IG & TT are full of Gen X/Millenials lamenting all the STUFF that dying-off Boomers are leaving them to deal with…

In fact, as I discuss in ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR, it's a *feature*, not a bug of white supremacy.
White Northern pastors started preaching Jesus' "unconditional" forgiveness* re: the South just as their supremacy was at risk. For them, white unity > accountability, Black equality.

Reconciliation without reparation is one of supremacy's greatest sabotages of the act of repair. Whenever abuse is exposed, it offers free exoneration to the abuser at the expense of the abused, and calls it redemption. It's the traditional and popular response to abuse in our supremacist society.
Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.
They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.

We've all said this for years, but it's absolutely essential: he must be impeached and removed from office. Any "leader" who's not on board with that is no leader at all.

The disconnect between Platner’s actual class background (upper-middle class) and the way he’s often spoken of (tribune of the working class) has long bugged me. John deftly unpacks that discrepancy here.

psst, no one is struggling with this - we are trying to create singular things that resonate with a huge audience or resonate hugely with a specific audience. We "struggle" with how tech and VC funding has broken almost every creative economy we have. So thanks but no thanks

We are where we are as a country, in many ways, because we never properly finished The Reconstruction. Jan 6 and the aftermath is more of the same
Ironically, if we actually treated the actual seditious behavior of the Jan. 6 coup with the severity it deserved, we would have never had to see social media posts like this ever again.
Trump posts again about Democrats, saying their behavior is “punishable by DEATH!”

Fuck the Senate
The House has voted unanimously to repeal the provisions in the shutdown package which allow GOP Senators to sue the federal government and get as much as $1 million in damages - because the feds looked at their phone records in the Jan. 6 investigation.
