huh, weird, it’s almost as though the thing where social justice movements such as metoo become uncool and déclassé just as they’re on the verge of gaining real currency & causing real change were a process that benefits the wealthy and corrupt already in power and perhaps is even engineered by them

Building your media outlet around AI is kind of insane because everybody has access to it and it produces the same outputs for everybody. What makes publications unique are the people who write there!

Even though they might seem like unrelated events, January 6 marked a point of no return for the GOP that made the Epstein coverup possible. The GOP decided that power and protecting its own came before everything else: democracy, dead police officers, abused minors.

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.

But *their* emails?
Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

This is a really important point I try to emphasize as an editor. It's a culturally baked-in impulse to try to soften terrible things powerful people do to make them seem more polite and widely discussable, but it's vitally important to fight the euphemizing impulse and use clear, accurate language.
Friendly reminder that there’s no such thing as “sex with underage girls”! We have a word for that! That word is “rape.”

A fun exercise is thinking about how far down the presidential line of succession you'd have to go before you find someone who isn't involved in committing or covering up the most heinous crimes known to man. You have to impeach everyone until you get there
