If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

Yo, Listen up: The Epstein files “release” is the continuing cover up for rape and trafficking of young women and girls + whatever crimes are done in furtherance of. There’s only 1 conspiracy, and it’s the organized devaluation of sex assault victims on behalf of men (mostly), especially rich ones.

Remember, the FBI reportedly created a spreadsheet of the all the references to Trump in the Epstein files. It's imperative for Democrats to demand that the Trump List be released along with the files. Otherwise you can rest assured that they will redact every reference to him.

We just reread Plato’s Phaedrus. I often forget just what a bitchy mean girl Socrates can be. Still, it really is something that should be read by every person who talks. Marvelous fun.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

As antisemitism and other similar phenomena demonstrate, fascism cannot ever stop. It eventually turns in on its own when it runs out of things to eat. Antisemitism will eventually mean wider and wider purges until nothing works anymore. Happened in Germany and Russia, can absolutely happen here.
