The 7 surviving original members — out of 122 — of the San Francisco Gay Mens Chorus. The loss cannot be overstated.

Right? If the buttons read, "Don't release the Epstein files" and "Release the Epstein files knowing there are just as many noteworthy Democrats as Republicans in there," I would be slamming the RELEASE button so damn hard.
"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Rubio's affirmation that to oppose fascism is to "undermine the foundations of Western Civilization" is telling in the extreme. The conservative movement hangs entirely on the belief that human beings are not fundamentally trustworthy and will not work together without the threat of punishment.

You know what would have fixed this? Universal healthcare and UBI. Plus supportive housing for at least homeless CHILDREN.
And this is why rich and powerful men don’t want us to have those things. Poor young people are prey to them.
