Not author's fault I imagine, but loathe the growing tactic at mainstream outlets of refusing to link to external outlets for SEO reasons, even when using a quote (happens to us all the time)

It's hard to overstate how NORMAL it was to sexualize teen girls when I was growing up.
"Jailbait" jokes were everywhere, I was constantly sexually harassed by men in cars when walking to school in 6th grade.
Epstein is of an cohort where it was GENERALLY maybe a little edgy but not extreme.

I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions

Imagination is the real stuff of revolutionary progress. Of justice.
What do we need instead of ICE?
What do we need instead of Border Patrol?
What do we need instead of police?
What do we need instead of jails, prisons and detention centers?
All of those institutions divert funding away from life enhancing institutions.
What do you want to see in their place?

Rep. Christine Cockley (D-Hilltop) was the only state legislator willing to stand with Ohio State survivors on Tuesday.
Cockley said politicians should donate any Wexner money, and that she's not scared of Wexner's money or power.

The problem with national Democratic leadership is they’ve conflated not being able to *vote* for anything with not being able to *stand* for anything
We actually do get it—you don’t have any direct power at the national level—but you sure as shit can do more than look concerned in interviews

Can we just replace all the national Democratic leadership with random folks on the ICE protest lines in Minneapolis & other cities?
Because only one of those groups is giving anyone hope for a future in the US
