Revisiting David Brooks' Nov. 21, 2025 "Epstein story? count me out" column
Brooks posits that the interest in Jeffrey Epstein's crimes & associations is a distraction of apiece with QAnon because it positions "the elites" as a cabal of predators
He says it's unfair to say all elites are rapists 😵💫

chili seems like an obviously good option that would also be a good use of some of the meat imitation plant proteins. I feel like dad time is a time to become a soup connoisseur

Yet again, the giving circle is crumbling and unable to do a weekly distribution to the six families & team that facilitates a displacement camp. Every day there is an emergency, critical need—and record low support.

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”
Bluesky tonight is neatly divided between trans people and family members appropriately angry and freaking out and everyone else who has barely noticed.

remember when some of y'all were welcoming her to the resistance ... please, next time she mildly criticizes trump, please remember she's still the enemy, trying to hurt my family specifically. and they aren't gonna stop with minors.
This is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s bill. Today she claimed, "For far too long, children have been sexually exploited under the malicious falsehood of so-called gender-affirming care."
The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.
Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote.

Full on neo-Nazi conspiracy theories from the president tonight — the very same invasion and replacement conspiracy theories that have fueled a cycle of deadly violence targeting so many communities including immigrants, Jews, Latinos, the Black community, Muslims, and more.
Trump’s primetime diatribe against immigrants is straight up unvarnished Nazi stuff
