So I hate to be That Guy, but we're entering into uncertain territory here with the Epstein Files, and it's more important than ever that we make sure we know all the facts before we blow things up.
I'm talking now about the "tips" that DOJ is now releasing. They sound super salacious and evil.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

I have to presume they’ve redacted all these Epstein documents in such a hamfisted way that you just need to dial up the brightness in Photoshop to be able to read them

The White House is now citing "national security" for everything it does. Seriously, check out these headlines. It's just the last few weeks.

I was just saying this! If you go to any comments section on social media, you’ll see a flood of bots making some sort of divisive, hateful claim and I think it gives the impression that certain points of view are the prevailing norm when they are actually not. It distorts reality.
This is the thing about the "shift" that led to the 2024 results. It was entirely fake. Our culture is determined by fake accounts operating within a blackbox algorithm. None of it is real, and I think we all feel that.
This cultural shift isn't even real.
It has been manufactured with social media.
They used fake accounts and bots to make the idea seem popular and a substantial chunk of the following is only there because they are sheep.
They created real support with fake support.

I know we all said “at least the racists have outed themselves” the first term, but I personally hate how normalized casual racism has become. The kind of talk needs to be called out and people need to feel shame again.

One the one hand, she was truly a baby attorney (only admitted last year!) and the supervising attorney should have known better… but on the other hand, WTF was she thinking??
An attorney couldn't stop using Grok (?!) to help draft filings, producing "a flood of tainted filings" & apparently triggering the implosion of a law firm & 3 lawyers' careers 🤖😵 The court called her misconduct "particularly egregious & prolific"

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
