Look, POTUS is busy suing the USG for $10 billion, shutting down the Kennedy Center, and maybe illegally attacking Iran for no good reason. Gotta focus on the priorities.

We don’t have to imagine, Tim. We know. They are brutalizing the parents n also killing them n disappearing them n deleting the records. Large scale, especially in “alligator Alcatraz.” They are raping children. Kidnapping them for global sex trafficking rings.

For me a very uncomfortable subtext of the Epstein file release is that I have lost count of how many people I know who have told me about sexual abuse of children in their family histories.

I know this from researching police salaries for a recent paper: many cities have a set of officers taking home more than $500k and they can’t really explain why oaklandside.org/2026/01/29/o...

One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did
One OPD officer logged 5,242 total working hours, racking up $490,000 in overtime pay. If he worked more than half of the time in a calendar year, why can't the city tell us what he did?

Because I'm talking about measles. It is also A VERY VERY VERY CONTAGIOUS VIRUS. If someone is in a room and has measles and then leaves that room and you enter that room within TWO HOURS (depending on humidity) you can get measles. And people are contagious for four days before the rash appears.

Caveats - suicide is rare, and the overall numbers are small, so percentages aren't as meaningful as they could be. One more or less suicide by a trans kid would appreciably shift the "percentage of suicides by trans kids." EVEN THEN, 7% of child suicides in the UK being trans kids is sobering.
