The Killing of Hypatia | Soraya Field Fiorio
A fight over all things visible and invisible, featuring practical magic, empire, and terrible men.

There are parallels to the murder of Hypatia & the anti-education rhetoric coming from the far-right influencers like Charlie Kirk. Turning Point USA and Heritage Action come to mind - who are eager for angry retribution against liberal intellectual thought. www.laphamsquarterly.org/roundtable/k...

BREAKING: Democrats are now +16 on the general ballot. I don't think I've seen anything like this. Also, this is a A+ poll taken BEFORE the government botched the Epstein release today.

Statement from Maria Farmer: “This is amazing. Thank you for believing me. I feel redeemed. This is one of the best days of my life. Of course, it's mixed with the fact that I'm devastated about all the other little girls like Virginia who were harmed because the FBI didn't do their job. 1/
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Today, we're learning why DOJ didn't release the redacted files last March. Because the multitude of redactions exposes how much they're covering up.

Trump taking over the Kennedy Center has the same vibes.
Elon buying twitter is not unlike when a failed comic buys a comedy club to give himself stage time.
The top story on Twitter is all the sycophants praising Elon Musk for Starlink?

Jack Smith still wants to speak in public:
In a new letter, Smith says he wants the American public to "hear the facts" about his two criminal cases against Trump — asking the House Judiciary Committee to release video of his closed-door deposition and schedule an open and public hearing.

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.
