The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"Now it’s time for our rich sports owners to take the baton," writes columnist Jim Souhan.
"Shut it all down until it’s safe for every Minnesotan to drive to a sports venue without being rammed, beaten, abducted or killed."
"Shut it all down until it’s safe for every Minnesotan to drive to a sports venue without being rammed, beaten, abducted or killed."
Souhan: What good are sports in times like these?
Local owners should be making a statement. Better yet, they should be taking action.

I refuse to give in to defeatism. For example, maybe my Senator doesn't care enough to do anything about child-kidnapping monsters. But whoever reviews his messages (or runs @durbin.senate.gov) will know his constituents are pissed. If enough of us try, maybe something will break through.
