I honestly don’t care about James Comey.
But I want to live in a democratic republic.
His indictment proves we live in a banana republic, where the autocrat personally orders indictments of his political enemies, and when his own officials refuse he finds new ones that will.

@leahlitman.bsky.social said it best: “Political culture imagines that the Supreme Court safeguards the Constitution, when in reality it is chipping away at the constitutional rights of historically marginalized groups."
The Supreme Court is really “just vibes”
In a new book, legal podcaster Leah Litman describes how the GOP and its jurists are "just not that into democracy."

This video is fantastic and absolutely true. We're going to get to some of this later in the series on peasants but the time-labor demand of 'household chores' before ten seconds ago was enormous.
One 1900 report put the average food prep per week per woman at 44 hours; another 14 hours on laundry.

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine,"
That's... usually not the case!
In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using.
We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that?

The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice. They deserve to be heard.
Today at 10:30 AM EST / 7:30 AM PST, they’re speaking live at a press conference. The system tried to bury the truth, but these voices are rising anyway.
Watch. Share. Don’t look away.
