That won’t fly and they know it. Whatever helps distract from what we all need to know more about, the Epstein files 🤷‍♂️.

Maybe because we’re all already used to housing and healthcare being super expensive. So they were already baked into our collective anxiety whereas groceries are only newly salient.

ok. Release the Epstein files.

Awful 😢

Yes, thanks. He MUST be stopped and everyone is owed due process, these things are both true

I’m sorry for what you’ve been through. I truly am. But this conversation has crossed a line. I won’t be spoken to this way, and I won’t keep engaging when everything I say is twisted into violence. I wish you healing and safety—but I’m stepping away now.
May 5, 2025 at 4:12 PM
I hear your pain, and I respect how much you’ve had to carry. But calling me an enemy for opposing vigilante violence isn’t fair. I’m here because I do care—about justice, about safety, and about breaking cycles without losing our humanity. That’s the side I’m on.

I’m not saying “lie down and take it.” I’m saying we can fight with integrity. Fighting back doesn’t have to mean becoming what we hate. If we throw away our values, then what exactly are we fighting to protect?
May 5, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Right. Justice means breaking the cycle, not mirroring it.

Yeah Hitler’s an easy example. We fought a world war to stop him. And Elon’s sieg heil gesture aside, DOGE hasn’t been rounding people up and invading countries - let’s not jump from “this guy is harmful” to “he deserves to die.” That shuts down thinking and mirrors the extremism we claim to oppose
May 5, 2025 at 2:13 PM
That kind of logic—deciding who ‘deserves’ to die for the greater good—is exactly what leads to the worst chapters in history. You don’t have to like Elon (I sure don’t), but wishing death on someone and calling it ‘principled’ isn’t justice. It’s just rage dressed up as ‘ethics’

Maybe I am boring, but I’d rather be boring and principled than entertaining and reckless. Yeah, Trump trampled all over the rule of law—so why would we start doing the same? I’m not here to impress anyone, I just think consistency matters.
May 5, 2025 at 6:07 AM
I get the impulse, but once we start glorifying vigilante justice, it won’t stop with people we personally despise. That door swings both ways—and it won’t take long before someone on the other side feels justified going after people we admire. Rule of law exists for a reason.
May 5, 2025 at 6:02 AM
As much as I despise Elon let’s not normalize or glorify vigilante justice
