To me this is also “Won’t somebody think of Stephen King?” And no, I won’t.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

I said as much to some comrades a couple of days ago who were lamenting that he was going to the White House. He went to buy some time for what will be an eventual invasion of NYC by the fascist.

The County moving from electing Kim Foxx to Eileen Burke has got to be one of the worst developments in Cook County.

Way back when, mayor Pete's reform-minded chief of police, Daryl Boykins, recorded some of his officers making vile racist statements. So Buttigieg fired... the police chief.🤡

Boykins was the 1st Black police chief in city history, and was building trust with Black folk.

But it gets worse...

They let this man — who ran for president on the idea that being mayor was enough because also he was gay — adopt Black children, who are going to need so much therapy as adults if they’re being raised listening to this kind of bullshit

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

Think of your favorite celebrity, whether they’re an actor, musician, athlete, whatever.

They’re probably pretty well-off, financially. But they are still closer to auctioning off their possessions to cover medical bills than they are to being a billionaire.

Thomas Pritzker was named by Virginia Giuffre a couple years back, and now he's in this new trove of emails. He still sits on several prominent Chicago-based corporate, nonprofit, NGO, and university boards, including a role as one of UChicago's trustees. Those affiliations should be severed.

The New York Times saw Claudine Gay as someone to hold accountable and Jeffrey Epstein as a source to nurture and protect.

What a disgusting newspaper.

2014, the Ferguson uprising, was the start of a fight against police ruling our communities and I firmly believe I will see the end of that struggle in our favor

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like “yeah, seems right—freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”

Really fascinating how they square this kind of thinking with how much they're worried about *books* for children.

Cannot be stressed enough how unbelievably terribly all the news outlets, "progressive" or not, have been blowing the Epstein story.

Both parties have massive criminal exposure, top donors to both are at the very least are extremely close to child rape, and two presidents (at least) are involved.

Hopefully people can remember that this is all especially hard for sexual assault survivors

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Incredible how much dirt the Dems had on Trump and never used it 'cause the Epstein case hits a bunch of their own guys. Their donor class and the guys they advance as major candidates have so much more in common with him than with you.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!
