"We seethe over the betrayal by a supposedly democratic society that quickly averts its collective eyes and allows predators ... to get away with it and reinvent themselves right in front of our eyes as we’re punished if we speak out about our basic rights to survival and safety," Donna Ladd wrote.
The Epstein Saga Is Not a Game. It’s About Protecting Women.
Donna Ladd reflects on her own story amid the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein saga of rape, retribution and the protection of sexual predators.

There was always something inexplicably strange about the recent government shutdown. From the beginning, it was crystal clear what Democrats wanted: lower health care costs, affordability and for a lawless president to start obeying the law.
But what about the Republicans?

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Here's a fun fact for you: Charles Drew, a Black man, is the "father of the blood bank." He figured out how to store, ship and transfuse blood.
But he resigned from the Red Cross because they insisted on "segregating" blood by race.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

@pfrazee.com, we really need @bsky.app to let us know why Sarah Kendzior's account was suspended and if there was a good reason—or any reason at all.
Transparency is important with such high profile suspensions (but also, everyone should be informed about why they get suspended).
