You can be clear-eyed about what happened without reading about child sexual abuse in granular detail.

It is normal to be repulsed, to feel it in our guts. Normal to be shocked, aghast, appalled. But we cannot continue to turn away; we've done that for far too long. This is so much bigger than Epstein. It didn't start with him, and it is going on right now, this very minute.

As war profiteers try to manufacture consent to bomb Venezuela for oil, remember in 2018 Venezuela sent 200,000 struggling American families across 15 freezing states 45 million gallons of free home heating oil.
They continued this program from 2005 to 2009.

On Christmas help some children who don’t have big piles of presents if you can ❤️
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Omar. Omar is just 16 and is taxed with helping his whole family. His father was a food industry engineer before the war but he is unemployed now and struggling.
Omar is trying to take care of his younger brothers Hasan, 14 and Emad, 7.

There was a female prison nicknamed the rape club. It got closed (eventually) and the Trump administration is trying to reopen it as a migrant detention center

"The war in Gaza has firmly established that the international legal, moral, and political order contains a double standard and was never meant to serve the needs of weaker nations and societies."

Israel's war on Gaza has made genocide an accepted weapon of war. We're already seeing it in Sudan.
Israel's genocide in Gaza set a global norm that views extermination as a 'natural' part of how nations and paramilitary groups wage war. We are already seeing this in Sudan.

Hewing to "civility" and (already badly derived) norms like "don't prosecute anyone who's ever been president even if they've done actionably, hideously vile things" is uh… yeah it's the American way. From failing to properly hold accountable the Confederacy, to not prosecuting Nixon, to today.
I will never ever ever understand how the Biden administration had all this nuclear-level dirt on Trump and didn't pull the ripcord. You can try to explain it but it will never make sense.

Just pointing out that this has been the plan all along, aided by the Claremont Institute, and Tom Homan, who have always wanted to see this happen.
WaPo reports that ICE is planning 7 massive human warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people.
Recalls the acting ICE director 2015 statement that he wanted to see a “business”-oriented approach to deportations, “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings”.

According to the Lancet, vibrio infections have broken records the last three years in a row. They also degrade ecosystems & cause mass die-offs, including commercial marine species & coral reefs.

I actually genuinely care about supporting artists and have a track record of doing so!
As a show of support, I will buy an album on bandcamp for $13.12 from the first 10 artists who answer all 6 questions.
I know they're hard but I hope these answers move the convo past surface-level takes.

Ok I'm getting quite tired of artists having conservative reactionary takes to this news.
In this QT thread I'm going to ask artists 6 questions to consider, which I'm very willing to hear them out on and will hopefully lead to an interesting discussion.
