I’m going into this battle
And take my union gun
We’ll end this world of slavery
Before this battle’s won
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose!

The Epstein case is important, not least because it implicates 47, but don't forget that a huge % of cases of violence against women involve police inaction, court inaction, untested rape kits, unenforced restraining orders, disbelieved victims & witnesses, & perps generally getting away with it.
As ppl look for transparency & accountability we’ve put together a comprehensive timeline of the failure of federal law enforcement to address Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes @justsecurity.org
It’s a “tale of national disgrace” spanning 3 decades

Yes, and, the American style of “fear of losing your job” was designed to include the terror of losing your family’s health care. But if your job doesn’t include health insurance, or if you expect insurance to deny lifesaving care…you can resist tyranny without fear (with less fear, anyhow)
"For the end has turned out to be at it was at the beginning: Fear, American Style, where millions of people fear that they will be punished by losing their jobs if they dare speak up or or speak out, is the reigning principle of the moment."

Never fail to put the spotlight on the hideousness of these people. You can’t reason with them, but you can embarrass them.

If you can go, go. 5pm today. Last night's cutoff of federal funding by 47 doesn't just mess with the recipients, it violates the Constitution and seizes powers that belong to Congress. It's a dictatorial attempt at consolidation of power in the presidency.

When I heed the instruction "do not obey in advance," I'm including my joy. Everything is horrifying right now, but I must not despair. They seek to terrorize me - I will have my moments of terror - but I will also have my moments of delight, laughter, and love. I keep myself above their evil.

I'm at @theverge.com today talking about digital decay, link rot, watching my work slowly being erased from the internet, and how it makes me feel like I am fading away.
What happens when the internet disappears?
Huge swaths of the web are vanishing. What does that do to our culture?
