A quick "whoa, really? that's really fucked up, man" from a white dude to another white dude for expressing a conservative opinion is (sadly) one of the most effective ways to change that white dude's behavior. Not usually the underlying beliefs, but the behavior. It gets in their kitchen.
Part of my theory of change is to share the words white men need to hear, spoken by white men. This is because creating defections is crucial to stopping authoritarianism and democratic backsliding. This is because almost everyone else is already off the Trump train.

We can’t trust anything coming out of this administration. It’s getting tiresome.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.
The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

COVER UP Continues: Pam Bondi Says DOJ Released ‘All’ Epstein Files. So Last week Trump said time to "move on" from Epstein and Bondi does. Both right and left know that is BS. Worse, DOJ is prosecuting ZERO people in connection with Epstein sex ring despite more than 1,000 victims incl children!

Under international law, the use of weapons that cannot distinguish between combatants and noncombatants constitutes a war crime. The use of these indiscriminate weapons implicates not just Israel but also its Western suppliers.
The international justice system has “failed the test of Gaza”.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate

Bad actors like these congeal like harmful bacteria—thriving in dark corners, feeding off weakness, and multiplying where oversight is thin. Left unchecked, they form toxic colonies that choke healthy systems and spread decay through what was once vital and alive.
