My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Mamdani's transition team is exactly what I would like feminism to be about; determined (and skilled) women who are willing to put in their best for the good of the public and who are given the opportunity to do so also by not being discriminated against for being women.

✝️ Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says I'm against abortion but says I'm in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says that they’re against abortion but ‘I’m in agreement with the inhumane treatment of immigrants in the U.S.’ is not really pro life.”

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.
The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

It just occurred to me that based on the social positions they have held and the historical incidents around them, there are significant parallels between eminent personalities of the Turkish and American societies. I'll keep a list of them for the fun of it:
