“…after a year it’s dawned on most people that the MAGA proposition wasn’t Free Speech For All—Even If It’s Racist. It’s more like Know Your Place.”
It was always the same pitch, it was just easier to clock as despotism once they put it in motion.
Good essay.

We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world now. That's what we can't face. It's our world. Where sexual desire for children is protected, victims receive no justice & the President of what used to be called the free world is Jeff's friend. This is Jeff's World now.

There's been a lot of solid reporting from the latest Epstein dump but I think this is the smartest angle I've seen.
I wrote about the Epstein files (gift link) www.theverge.com/tech/874721/...
How the men in the Epstein files defeated #MeToo
The emails show the “anti-woke” crusaders are afraid of accountability.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Extremists like Stephen Miller simply cannot fathom that there is an authentic resistance fueled by a sincere rejection of the MAGA project. The idea that white people would act in solidarity with their non-white neighbors is beyond what the Trumpists can imagine. They don’t understand it.

I only remember a handful of Tweets from over the years. But one that will stick with me forever is when someone once said:
We have enough money in this world to feed every man, woman, and child.
But we'll never have enough money on this planet to satiate the insatiable appetite of billionaires.

Our legislative branch of government, our Article 1 branch, has been ground to a halt because the President of the United States may be in the files of a pedophile sex trafficking ring.
To be clear, the US Speaker has adjourned the lower house of Congress early, to avoid votes relating to the publication of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein. Even by Trump standards, this whole saga is astounding.
