By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

The question isn't whether an evil man will be evil. It's what good people will do in the face of it. TOO MANY people still want to overlook the obvious. They find all kinds of ways to explain why he's not really evil. They are the problem.
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

We are still fighting to defend the truth while others try to erase the violence inflicted ON US. Medgar Evers was murdered for daring to demand equality. We don’t honor him by softening that reality. We owe his family the full, unflinching truth, not a version that makes America feel comfortable.

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..
One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.
