Megyn Kelly is a fool if she thinks this absolves Epstein and friends from being pedophiles: “there’s a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old.” Yeah Megyn, there is a difference but both are still children. MAGA, Stop defending pedos! #ReleaseTheFiles

It's almost trite to anyone who is online at all, but the radicalization of JD Vance is one of the great ignored stories of our time. And we're a few heartbeats from becoming one of the biggest stories in US history.
JD Vance now leads the GOP. And he wants the party to welcome Hitler lovers.
And the press refuses to reckon with what this means.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Looking at these pictures of Ruby Bridges, and thinking about how moving it is to see how tiny and vulnerable she is.
And, I'm thinking about our language and culture around trauma, and how on a personal level it often feels lacking for me.
