Re-upping my Epstein essay from August as new information emerges today.

Caution: disturbing descriptions of my and others’ sexual assaults.

Release all the damn files. This is the ultimate test of this nation’s useless partisanship.
"I understand why women are afraid to come forward. I didn’t call the cops on my rapist & I’ve never named him publicly. It’s sure not because I’m protecting him. I’m protecting myself. Nobody would've believed this trailer-park girl vs that Big Man On Campus," @donnerkay.bsky.social writes.
The Epstein Saga Is Not a Game. It’s About Protecting Women.
Donna Ladd reflects on her own story amid the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein saga of rape, retribution and the protection of sexual predators.

Discovered in the middle of the night that #CappBob prefers the hall in our current house to the tiny one we used to hunker down in during tornado warnings.

This sums up the verifiable impact of DOGE.
In the end, it didn’t cut government spending, and there was no promised “savings.” In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data.

Elon Musk should be on trial.

No surprise with any of this
Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

Black women die at a higher rate than any other ethnic group during or after childbirth, making the importance of their voice in their treatment paramount.

By high-school students in Mississippi doing some of the best journalism in the state about systems of inequity and why.
Really great journalism here about the systematic health disparities faced by Black Americans
UMMC Assistant Professor Dr. Justin Turner told the Youth Media Project that Black Americans still struggle to trust the health-care system. He pointed to historical abuses, like the Tuskegee experiments, as a major reason.

Y’all really need to go to jxnpulse.com and read our *teenage* journalism about health disparities in Mississippi and beyond—and the reasons. Here: back to Tuskegee experiments and phrenology.

Actually you are. All genders should work to destroy this system.

Also, you are harassing me, accusing me of saying things that I did not and I’m about to block you. I don’t suffer fools.

Decidedly not a “peace plan”

The dude scolding me in the comments is part of the problem.
THIS. This is women’s reality in this world. It is time right now to face it and blow this system up and burn it down. This will take all of us who aren’t actively working to keep it this way. Examine your role in allowing it to happen, then work harder to support the innovative bravery of women.

Sure, but the majority’s margins are very tight here (depriving g in turnout and who can bite) and they’re planning for the future. Also, there are areas that are shifting dramatically.

This is a long game.
