If you've given biometrics to TSA (Pre-Check and Global Entry members) and you plan to attend a protest, you should wear a medical mask.

We really need better education about abusive interpersonal dynamics. What we see happening nationally is just the scaled up version of what happens in homes around the world on a daily basis.

Projection is just one of many really, really common cognitive distortions.

The signature bad faith move of our current information / cultural / media environment is attacking one’s enemy not on their failings but on a projection of •your own• failings

When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

you can find ava cordero discussed in a bunch of places, but this was the first source.

this is where i remind the room that an early epstein accuser was a trans woman that got transmysognied in the press, heavily, about it.

The founding PizzaGate/QAnon theorists were Roger Stone and a naval intelligence officer and yes knowing this makes me feel insane.

Me, too. The lead P*zzagate guy (below) was and is among the most dangerous and most connected Machiavellis in the Trump circle—a Putinist and a frequent Vance (!) collaborator.

P*zzagate's superficial wackiness was, I think, a deliberate smokescreen to hide the ruthlessness of its creators.

One might say: many such cases

Opinion: I was caged, beaten and warehoused by Republicans as a teen Straight Inc. was founded by Trump Victory co-chair and major Republican fundraiser Mel Sembler, a man who started out selling dresses. He still considers it his 'greatest achievement'

Satanic panic as misdirection is an interesting theory…I know there are accusations of DC republicans abusing kids in the 80s. Found this while I was trying to work out how those fit into the satanic panic timeline: www.independent.co.uk/voices/strai...

that is also why they keep fucking scapegoating trans people, they're dropping chaff

it mixes well with a general theory about the motivations and activity of the alt right being about attacking the concept of a shared, overarching narrative of truth by "flooding the zone". I can't credit them for predicting or intending what specifically has happened, but it served their purposes.

Yeah. Idk if this is literally true - but certainly the social purpose of QAnon (in a POSIWID sense) was to displace concerns about abuse of women and children into the realm of fantasy, thereby dissipating any movement for positive change.

pizzagate and qanon were not onto something, they were orchestrated by pedophiles to make accusing people of pedophilia make you look insane so that they could continue doing pedophile shit. fucking christ

QAnon worked like a secular version of an apocalyptic cult. The problems of the real world in the QAnon framework are unsolveable until one magical day when everything is put right, like how picturing the rapture encourages people not to try and change the bad things about the world here and now.

Wiki: "Since March of 2025, Alexander Acosta has been a member of the board of directors of Newsmax, a cable company based in Boca Raton, Florida. He serves as its Audit Committee chair."

Attached is the 53 pg legal memo sent to Alex Acosta in early 2007 detailing the scope of the federal charges the DOJ wanted to bring against Epstein, incl that he was considered an extreme flight risk.

And with the snap of his fingers, Acosta made it all go away.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds

correct, everyone should have been paying better attention to these stone cold facts

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

The ultimate goal of every Right-Winger from British transphobes to American Republicans is to abuse and hurt children. It is the thread that ties the Right together. You can't prove me wrong.

So have we all learned an important lesson about academic funding and prestige networks bound together by mutual kompromat with human traffickers?

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

very alarmed that this is getting more relevant by the week www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

One powerful narrative strain from close analysis of commentary about, & most critically from, upstanders in MN is true dawning no one is coming to save them. Justified belief some force will intervene shattered & alongside incredible moral purpose & community cohesion, catalyzed current heroism.

I think we as a society need to seriously grapple with the well-substantiated fact that the modern day incel movement and the political polarization of young men which exists downstream of it was in large part the direct result of an influence operation orchestrated by Jeffrey Epstein

or, in other words: everything is gender, and gender is epstein

like, we have an overwhelming amount of circumstantial evidence indicating that the ENTIRE “young men in crisis due to feminism” narrative was perpetuated in large part by Jeffrey Epstein and his influential hangers-on to remove threats to their way of life (read: sexual exploitation of young women)
