Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/0islLh9

I called everyone in Jeffrey Epstein's little black book.
Here's what I learned about rich people, conspiracy, “genius,” Ghislaine, stand-up comedy, and evil from the 2,000 phone calls.

This is not normal! As if federal employees didn’t already feel threatened enough—sure, let the brown shirts have guns; that’ll certainly boost compliance.

I've worked really hard to get where I am today. Stuff like this makes me feel like my very existence and effort in getting here is a threat. Why do people want to erase my identity and path? Why do people want to erase my ability to help others? It is exhausting.

Yes, booing the U.S. national anthem is disrespectful to Americans—but you know what’s worse? The U.S. president repeatedly and publicly telling the world that Canada has no right to exist and should be part of the U.S.🇺🇸🇨🇦

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.
