Why is everyone yelling “release the epstein files” when we should already be yelling “impeach and remove!”? Yelling about the Epstein files is an extra step and it can happen after he’s out of office.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

This article is a really good write up talking about deaf sex. One of the questions I once recieved was. "Deaf People can have sex?* #Deaf Because Deaf sex shows us the opposite: silence can be deeply communicative. Silence can be erotic. Silence can be deliberate, attentive, powerful.
