What will historians write about this in 100 years? How would the world be different if this had gone in Gore's favor? We will never know.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

“The departure of an authoritarian leader does not always lead to democracy but there tends to be a chaotic period where rights can be regained and new power built.”

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

I know that when those files are released and all the names are named, we will be disappointed and horrified.
But you know what?
Better that than complicit in or accepting of covering for pedos and rapists.

The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

Of course Trump is harassing two women signees of the release form for the Epstein files.

President Trump is pressuring two House GOP members to remove their names from the discharge petition that would force the U.S. House of Representatives to vote on legislation requiring the DOJ to release all unclassified files and records related to Jeffrey Epstein’s investigations and his network.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

This country was built by pillagers and slave owners. The law has never been king to the marginalized and historically oppressed. The house the President lives in was built by enslaved people!
Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.
