I do not care the political or business standing of disgusting people who abuse children on estates, yachts, office antechambers, private islands, massage rooms, pool grottos, golf courses etc.
Expose them all. Get them out of power, expose their names, prevent their profits.
Every one of them.

This is important.
We‘re not inhibiting men’s personal redemption by choosing not to give them power. Men are not entitled to rule over us. Men can redeem themselves and show they’ve changed by their behavior over time in society and we hope for their success. But we don’t need to give them power.

In order to move men, we have to welcome folks who have done things in the past we abhor. We have to allow folks to redeem themselves.
It’s sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s the only way we can win moving forward.
The math doesn’t math without more men.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.
People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

Bovino and many of his agents are headed to another city. Reports indicate that Charlotte and NOLA are upcoming targets. But there will still be ICE attacks in Chicago, as there were before, and we need to remain responsive. We also have a lot of deep prep work to do, bc they will be back in force.

BREAKING: Trump’s ICE bans Christians and all people from praying “in front of or inside” the Broadview ICE facility.
So, forced prayer in school is good, but volunteer prayer for the prisoner is banned.
This is what white nationalist Christianity looks like. This is Trump’s fascist America. Smh.

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this.
Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.
Let people find joy where they can, please.

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy
A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?
China has made cheap, clean energy available in huge quantities. The world should take the win econ.st/4oqFszB
