Bill Gates was a longtime acquaintance of Jeffrey Epstein.
If he partook in child sex trafficking or pedophilia, I want him exposed.
I care about the victims, not the abusers, regardless of their party affiliation.
See how that works?

My new faculty orientation in 2011 featured two messages: “get grants and don’t have sex with students.” I thought it was odd because both points seemed obvious, but as the Epstein emails suggest, for many academic men the later wasn’t nearly as obvious as it should have been.

So the Proud Boys are good support, even if they don't change their views...as long as they show up?
This is madness.
This is ...I don't know, but I'm seeing a lot of it and it's usually from people who are also okay with Platner knowing having and lying about a Nazi tattoo
because we need 'men'

This is silly and an useless purity test.
If someone does what you want/need them to do, then you reinforce it, not punish them.
Bottom line, we need as much support as possible.

Two points:
1) The Labour party knows what it is proposing isn't popular, they are doing it because they want to.
2) Liberal pundits asking "Why would Labour do this!?" know why Labour is doing it but do not want to make that clear for various reasons.

The sense I am getting through all of this is that Larry Summers used his position to get a substantially junior colleague to listen to him whine about his marriage, then tried to get her to “have a drink with him” and stormed off when she was like no thanks I have a presentation tomorrow.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.
