Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

I thought Michael Wolff was a critic of Trump's behavior & WH.
Now in the emails just released he looks like a Michael Cohen type guy to Epstein & his Sex Trafficking Ring.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

If Senate Dems don’t replace the minority leader, and soon, then it’s quite clear that the problem extends far beyond Schumer.

I’m reading a book about The Barbizon, the residence for single women, and that NYT op-ed felt like the debates they were having back in the 1930s about women in the office. It’s really disheartening.
The thing about asking what’s ruining workplaces is that it’s a fascinating subject to explore esp post pandemic. Lost opportunity to decide to use women as flaming human shield to douse curiosity about what and who may be making work feel so grim

Let us be incredibly, abundantly clear:
We are demanding that Chuck Schumer resign for his continued betrayal of the American people.
If he does not willingly step aside, we are calling on the Senators in the Dem caucus to remove him and Dick Durbin from Senate leadership.

I feel like the Democratic leadership just sold us the same routine they'd sold to all the other cheer squads. Now we look stupid for falling for it. (Sorry, I needed to cheer myself up somehow and I decided a Bring It On reference, however tortured, would help.)

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
