That’s the perennial problem with creating an egregore of inchoate fury and scapegoating lies: it inevitably becomes a blind maw of all-consuming hunger. You create it to make yourself safe from *imagined* threats while making yourself mortally vulnerable to real ones - all for the sake of your ego.

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“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.”

Before dawn, a tawny owl called through the darkness.
Later, walking to my studio, birdsong rose around me — sweet cadences of thrush, bright notes of blackcap, and perhaps a redwing’s wistful echo.
Even on the greyest days, there’s music.
And the owl calls at the edge of night.

Instead of corruptly ordering his suplicant AG to reopen a closed case to target his political enemies she found "no evidence" for charges before, Trump could just release the Epstein files of they'rereally full of Democrats.
We all know why he won't.

It would be irresponsible not to speculate.
Is it possible the administration is running a drug running operation🤔 They welcomed in the Mexican cartel leaders and immediately started literally and illegally blowing up the competition.

From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
