The release (kind of) of the Epstein files hasn't resulted in any justice. The DOJ says "it's not illegal to party with Epstein." That's infuriating but predictable, but where is our energy at? I've seen us angrier over less. Episode 257 of HMP, links in replies!

Southerners love when we get one or two days that are cold enough to have a fire, but chopping wood for 2 weeks is getting old!!!
