Political scientists here have rightly been dunking on other academic fields in which prominent figures appeared in the Epstein Files, but here's a prominent political scientist in the Epstein Files .... shaming the shit out of them.
This is the standard.
Anything less than this makes you a pedophile.

This is my take too. It is a party organization prepared for institutionalized politics, not opposition to lawless authoritarianism
My best answer to this is that the democratic party’s leadership reflects its organizational structure and the selection effects of a prior era. These people just don’t understand. watch the difference between the urgency of Dem senators elected after Trump (Arizona/gerogia) and those before.

One thing about BC and other catholic schools is that, since the pope came out against AI, they became publicly and privately much more cautious
Seeking a university that isn’t run by admins fawning over AI (who admit to not understand it themselves) for a wonderful HS graduate, well-rounded, top grades, and can make a phone call. The teaching of research skills and complex literacies a plus. Can travel.

There's always one detail that will crack your heart entirely open.
"Friedberg visited Rhode Island Hospital on Saturday night, where she said she spoke with her teaching assistant, who had traveled there to support several of their injured students." Wow, the TA was present at the shooting and then went with students in the class to hospital to support.

Se vai “limpo”, eh ele quem ta pedindo o favor
O que me irrita é que essss caras têm dinheiro, bajuladores e contatos (limpos) o suficiente para pegar passagens/barbadas de um dia para o outro.
Eles vão sempre no escancarar (ou no limite) da "suspeição" porque querem. Eles querem. Não é possível.
