Important thread.
There is obviously a pretty strong cultural push from the right to normalize sexualization if, sex with, & marriage of female children and I think the term “pedophilia” is actually covering for them.
The perpetrators in the Epstein files, by and large, are predators, probably not pedophiles. (1/x)

Epstein understood the vanity of other rich idiots, so he funded Edge Foundation & Santa Fe Institute to draw in pretentious oligarchs who wanted to Talk Smart with lecherous scientists.
20+yrs ago they openly called them “Billionaires’ Dinners.”

So far it looks like Trump, Noem, and operation metro surge drained Minneapolis alone—not yet counting St. Paul, Bloomington, etc.— $203 million. This was a MAGA Trump assault on an American blue city. Nothing more. Start seeing it.

I saw Jesse Jackson speak at Stanford in 1988. He spoke in, with perfect irony, White Plaza. He was an extraordinary speaker, a master of classic oratory. Conservative writer P.J. O’Rourke famously gave him a backhanded compliment on it:

RIP Dr. Linda Davis. She was killed when ICE caused a high speed chase that resulted in the crash that ended her life.
This is one difference between police tactics and ICE tactics: cops looked at the data, and determined that high speed chases are just not worth it for non-violent offenses.

In many ways, the ICE drawdown in Minnesota reminds me of the “end” of the pandemic.
It’s only over for the people least affected. And even then, the slow, quiet escalation of harm will continue to move a lot of new people out of the “safe” category.

At each stage in America's fascism, the current stage is admitted by commentators while the future is denied.
Once they denied Trump was fascist. Now they concede it.
Now they deny the concentration camps & that there will be attempts to overturn elections.
They are more useful to Trump than ICE.
