Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.

During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem โ€œI Am Somebody,โ€ a message focused on self-worth and empowerment

The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan.

The best synthesis I have seen so far of things I knew or had put together from various sources but had not really seen pulled together ๐Ÿงช

Importantly, I donโ€™t think these academics were an aberration. I think a lot of scientists would have entered these circles, given the option.

Nick Fuentes: โ€œThe number one political enemy in America is women. โ€ฆ They have to be imprisoned.โ€

Fuentes, yesterday: โ€œOur #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.โ€

Sex and snacks, but no seat at the table: the role of women in Epsteinโ€™s sordid menโ€™s club Files reveal a world of flattery and fratboy tones, where rich men are cultivated and women provide services

'The Epstein files reveal a patriarchy in action. This is a world where the men are rich and powerful, and the women are not. The emails showcase the private behaviour of a male ruling class, as they network, joke and trade information.'

All 6 Palestine Action activists in the Elbit Systems break-in have been found not guilty on all charges. This action was one of the main 'reasons' the govt. proscribed PA as a terrorist organisation. Nearly 3000 people have been arrested for showing support. There must be pardons and compensation.

I have an essay in it on the political pen of the socialist intellectual Beatrice Webb, which explores how elite women used writing to assert expertise - purposefully, artfully, and never without cost.

Instead of reading even more about Matt Goodwin, I would like to read about a system that over years has enabled, defended, and empowered him. A system that discredited his critics and enjoyed him as an enfant terrible. A system that only listened when senior, white, male professors criticized him.

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.
