The Trump administration has already made cruelty and dishonesty its calling cards. New revelations will not undermine it by themselves.
Like the Mueller investigation, what comes of the Epstein files will be determined by the balance of power within the state.
And by what we do in the streets.

A disturbing update to this story: Despite the fact that he was about to be released from a US prison after completing a sentence here, when Kelvin Membreño was deported to El Salvador he was sent to CECOT prison and remains there. The family has not heard from him since.
NEW — Kelvin Membreño will be deported to El Salvador by ICE tomorrow. He’s the birth father of three US citizen daughters and has become an important part of their lives.
Here their adoptive mother makes a last ditch plea to let him stay in the same country as the girls. A gutting guest essay:
