Assuming what is leaked is true, I like the part where Ukraine is sovereign but then two outside powers get to tell it how big its army can be and what its borders are...

Wary of opining on this for obvious reasons, I don't think people who scream racist abuse in the street are that interested in your migration status.

Indeed, I think part of the problem is they often use "asylum seeker" as a stand in for "migrant I don't like the look of".
- It is entirely legitimate for the Home Secretary to highlight the overt racism that she receives for taking part in public life.

- Everybody should oppose that racism against her, whatever their politics.

- But it is important to make several other points about this argument about racism.

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.
This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

to drop the kayfabe, the epstein emails are so horrifying and the participants so ghoulishly open and celebratory about raping children that i don’t know how to grapple with it

they’re not hiding it. they consider what they’re doing so easy, the young women so disposable. it’s a big joke to them.

Important to understand that sexual violence is political violence, enacted specifically to enforce class, race, and, yes, gender hierarchies.
I sometimes feel like they don’t want to end poverty or reduce inequality because they believe they’re entitled to a class of people they can prey upon

a) go right ahead and keep Epstein Epstein Epstein in the news, I’m sure that’ll be great for you

b) oh no what would we ever do without Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, JP Morgan, etc - the only problem with investigating them is that your team is full of incompetent clowns who will do a piss-poor job

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

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?

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

A people who are tolerant of a couple innocent fishermen drone-struck here, a couple U.S. citizens wrongfully arrested or even deported there, a couple immigrants shot or brutally beaten, are going to be tolerant of more, and more, and more, until suddenly we're in "how could we have" territory

Most people who write about politics, right or left, have internalized the concept of the Trump supporter as the authentic american Volk and so many of their conclusions proceed from that

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.

"To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."
How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women
"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

Yes! They have rebuilt their entire psyches around the idea that you are their enemy, and so they feel absolutely no obligation to behave consistently or fairly or in good faith. Words are weapons for them. They’ll protest their supposed persecution, then turn around and persecute you with violence.
Whatever label you apply to them - "alt-right," "far-right," "neo-fascists," "right wing populists" - it's important to understand that they lie constantly as a means to an end and will use any and all concessions to them to censor and restrict their enemies so that they can come out on top.

There are many highly politically engaged men in our society who are lusting for opportunities to create a bloodbath that they feel is righteous.
We cannot move forward or escape this nightmare until mainstream figures finally admit that there are many, many people on the right - including some of its most powerful voices - who are openly seeking violence and tyranny and exploit every situation to move it closer.
