the evidence showed that it was indeed a global pedophilia ring (similar networks had existed before and no doubt will do so again). Its not as if these things have not happened before, so I wonder why Gilad Edelman of the Atlantic is so intent on minimizing the monstrosity of what Epstein was.
Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.

ICE wanted this Kansas City warehouse. The people resisted and won.
"This decision wouldn’t have happened without several weeks of protest and collective action by low-wage workers,” one organizer said.

Shit like this airspace closure and conflicting reports about what did or didn’t happen is exactly what authoritarians and fascists want.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

This might be hard to think about—which is part of why many of us wanted the child to be Liam—but PTSD cannot resolve until the conditions in which the trauma occurred are alleviated. For this family, that has not yet happened.
This child and his parents will continue to suffer until they are safe.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Howard Lutnick must resign as Commerce Secretary because he lied about his close dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. After Epstein’s sex trafficking conviction, Lutnick went into business with him! Of course there are many other reasons why Lutnick is unfit for public office, as this thread shows. 1/7🧵🧵🧵

This is a death cult that delights in murder, mayhem, and perhaps most especially, torturing children. Sick fucking monsters.
“Around 3,500 detainees, more than half of them minors, have cycled through the center… There were children in Dilley who were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide… Moms told me that their kids had lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food…”
NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.
Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.
