NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about.
DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

I hope we teachers can pause, wherever we are, and breathe. This shit is hard, supporting kids we love through this is hard. We may not be able to fix shit but we are good enough.

If you are not a teacher, texting with former students who are suffering b/c of this border patrol bullshit, you can’t know how much this hurts.
My heart is raw. I’ll do what I can, but it ain’t much given the need.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Epistemic violence against sexual abuse accusers—smearing them as deluded, crazy, or incompetent—is something rapists know works, and they conspire to do it.
Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

Good lord. There's an answer. WSJ published an article saying Johnny Cash was a loser. Sarah (a Cash fan) quote-posted it w/ a line from Folsom Prison Blues… in quotes "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die". They decided this was a genuine death threat against the author. From SARAH KENDZIOR?!

Charlotte we're up next. Time to order your frog suit.
ICE/BP’s next targets are reportedly Charlotte and New Orleans.
Two things:
1) If they had the capacity to hit many cities at once, rather than pick on one or two at a time, they would.
2) Moving south seems to confirm speculation that they’re leaving Chicago because it got cold.
