Many of us are exhausted having worked to learn the truth of our own history on our own, but also having to learn the history of American white people that most white ppl refuse to learn.
That is partly why when you say “why are you surprised” it’s so annoying. Believe me, we are not surprised!

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.
So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners.
