This is the other:

I will add the caveat that part of the trick here is finding spaces that do liberatory work and are run by liberatory people-- showing up to a church run by some patriarchal pastor who thinks God assigned servitude to women is likely not going to feed your soul.

To be clear, this is a rhetorical question. I'm not asking it in order to get someone else to do the work of finding out for me. I'm asking in order to encourage other people to find out.

Right, that's the point of the question. That's the joke that's not really a joke.

The more direct way to ask it would be: "When did the committee first get access to Epstein's emails and who did they get them from?"

...that an educated, informed public threatens their interests.

It doesn't matter what else they disagree about. One thing they will *never* admit is that keeping you ignorant is what they have in common.

This is true across political ideologies, and it's why authoritarianism is always a threat.

But the institutions the reformers had to work through in order to get legislation onto the floor were controlled by people who cared more about passing something, anything legislation than explaining why a PO was needed

What D and R leadership, along with media owners all have in common is...

Specifically, it will be presented in a way that makes it hard to explain why it won't work with getting into the details

This is how Democrats persuaded you that ACA would work even without a public option

ACA was obviously going to fail without a PO. Everyone who knew the details knew that.

Ignore the wildcat internment camps we are setting up across our major metros with extensive evidence for torture and rape by the roaming secret police

It's comforting to think this because how can you not love Mommy, but what if Mommy and Daddy love each other more than they love you and they already live in a different house, that they paid for with the money they got from selling all the furniture and appliances, and that's why your house sucks?

Hard to see how the next cycle will not be caretaker dem governments given what the damage is sizing up to be. Wreck things so hard that you barely finish replacing the broken windows before voters start screaming about the costs of eggs again through an astroturfed campaign of neonazi tiktoks.

Yeah that lack of time and options is definitely the real problem 😞

You got conned. But every time someone gets conned it's an opportunity to either learn the con, share that knowledge, and help other people avoid it, or pretend nothing happened.
