Epstein’s survivors deserve accountability and justice.

Black graphic with white text that reads: "Current and former Trump admin officials in the Epstein Files" with images below that includes Donald Trump, Melania Trump, RFK Jr., Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and more.

Text below with a photo of Alex Acosta says: "Trump admin officials that have faced any accountability: Alex Acosta. Former Labor Secretary forced to resign in 2019 over his handling of initial Epstein case."

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Tomorrow, there will be oral arguments in a major SCOTUS case on transgender sports. At least, that's how it's being reported everywhere. But it's not just about sports. The ruling could change transgender rights for a generation, and impacts EVERYTHING. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Tomorrow's SCOTUS Case Is Not Just About Transgender Sports; Ruling Could Impact All Trans Rights

Though much of the reporting on the Little v. Hecox court case is about transgender sports participation, the SCOTUS ruling could impact all rights of transgender people.

Every new angle shows that the officer was not in the direct path of the car and that he had no reason to shoot at her body to stop her. Calling her a "fucking bitch" after murdering her is twisted shit.

I’m seeing a lot of people predict that “the right wing media is going to turn this story for Trump” and “they’re going to work overtime to make America forget this” and you should tell that to all these people out there in Minnesota in fucking January. This can matter. This will matter.

Trump just now on AF1: "Don't ask me who's in charge, because I'll give you an answer and it'll be very controversial." Reporter: What does that mean? Trump: "It means we're in charge."

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

So we want the Democratic Party to defend rights that they can’t defend because they don’t have institutional power to defend said rights? Like you hear yourself right. If we don’t have a large enough Senate majority, you can’t do anything.

And while I found Ezra's initial reaction to Kirk's assassination a tad overzealous, it is important that we have these conversations and wrestle with the world in front of us as it is and not as we wish it were.

What is the other option? War? Perpetual violence? I guess I don't find this critique to be compelling because you aren't presenting an alternative to learning to live together. In this moment, it is vital that we start listening to and talking with, not at, one another.

He used his "christian motivational speeches" as a cover for his bigotry, racism, and hatred. And far too many christians either didn't care, couldn't tell, or agreed with him. Forgive me if I don't need to listen to his christian motivational speeches to understand who Charlie Kirk was.
