Yup - that’s messed up values, indeed! Where is the care in our society? Oh, That’s right - Care is outsourced and either no pay or starvation wages - unless you are a dentist or doctor - and pray you are not drowning in student debt. Thanks to Patriarchal capitalism.

I didn't realize Gov Landry in Louisiana is literally *using a natural disaster law* to invoke an emergency to suspend House elections in time to redraw district lines. "Hurricane Black People Might Get Representation" I guess is the name of the storm law.justia.com/codes/louisi...

The DOJ Just Tried to Put Its Lawyers Above the Law.
A proposed rule would let the Attorney General block state bar investigations of DOJ attorneys — with no deadline, no oversight, and a threat against any state bar that refuses.

3 questions: 1. Will we have our own “Nuremberg” style trials soon? (Instead of the banality of evil - the incompetence of evil) 2. When will the maga leadership get in the bunker? 3. Why are we allowing these morons to stay in power? Maybe powerful people like it

165 girls dead in Minab. Over 1,000 Epstein survivors were re-traumatized when their names were published And the men responsible — in the files, in the White House, are protected. Redacted. Untouchable. Call it what it is: a government that has decided girls are the acceptable cost of male power.

175 girls, ages 7 to 12, buried under the rubble of their school in Minab, Iran — the first strike of Trump’s war. The girls in Epstein’s files: real. Still waiting for justice. Today Congress subpoenaed AG Pam Bondi. One man. Two graveyards of girls. When does trump answer?

We are today launching a task force to fight for those refunds. We will fight tooth and nail for them if the federal govt tries to hold that money back"

About the Epstein elites - Why are they above the law? And the deeper question isn’t “is there enough evidence?” The harder question: what kind of society holds evidence of child rape at an industrial scale and still struggles to produce consequences?

“No one is above the law” is a bedtime story Here’s the line you’ve been trying not to say out loud: If consequences are for the powerless, then “no one is above the law” is a story we tell to stay calm. It’s not that laws don’t exist. It’s that laws are enforced unevenly—unevenness is the point.

Patriarchy is a property system before it is a belief system. Some people get treated as things: bodies as access, children as spoils, women as reputational risk, the vulnerable as paperwork. In that architecture, powerful men protecting each other isn’t a glitch.

It’s power without accountability. Not complicated. Not academic. Not a partisan insult. A structural diagnosis. If a society protects power more reliably than it protects children, it begins to rot from the inside out. A file released after the moment has passed, dares the public to exhaust itself

A society is judged not by its stated beliefs but by what it can observe without discomfort, its ability to file away and forget, and its capacity to rename actions until those actions no longer seem like crimes.

A society that treats children as disposable is not honorable. It cannot claim honor while outsourcing its protection duties to the very people it refuses to protect. An honorable society protects children before it protects power. That is the standard. Everything else is theater.
