the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

A lot of carceral workers are nonwhite people.

Another example of why we need to deal with the racial politics of how people are recruited and encouraged to become carceral workers, and how the pathologizing of nonwhite communities and their “redemption” through carceral service are part of that.

Today I wrote about the Epstein files, the abusiveness intrinsic to the billionaire mindset, and our culture's enabling instinct to permit depravity as a privilege of power.

"Where does it all end?" That's what's often asked. Rarely asked is "how do we end it?"

There is a very similar pattern for Black over-representation in the military, which is often the employer of last resort in a society with rampant labor market discrimination keeping folks out of other jobs.

“At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity.”

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

The US is gearing up to literally starve Cuba into submission. It is absolutely criminal and obscene. And this to a country that everyone knows poses *zero* threat to the US.

The people of Cuba need our full solidarity in resisting this onslaught.

People are getting really fooled by things in the Epstein files. This is NOT a "Declassified FBI memo". It is a story told to the FBI by a CHS ("confidential human source"), who could be anyone from a petty criminal to a whistleblower to a propagandist trying to deceive (as here). Be smarter. 1/

He said people were moaning from the pain of being shackled for so long, but if anyone got up to stretch, a guard would bark “SIT THE FUCK DOWN.”

They stopped in Baltimore (fuel, crew), Romania (fuel), India, Sri Lanka, and Cambodia before they got to his stop in Laos. 73 hours shackled.

right like it seriously needs to be reiterated a billion times that the incidents here aren't conspiratorially unique but a machinic form of patriarchal violence and violation that occurs in fractals and scales at all levels of society. sexual abuse is the glue of structures of exploitation

Something I picked up pretty early when I started studying sociology is that things that look like grand highly intentional conspiracies are so often just systems of power and incentive structures that connect people who have the same interests
