he/him. Librarian, learning from you all. Healthcare is a human right. Protect trans kids, immigrants, and those displace by war around the world.
We could start with a system that didn’t place any individual beyond the reach of legal action due to their job, for example.

Or one where money couldn’t prevent accountability.

Or one where power inequities between people based on race, gender, or orientation, were not tolerated.

For example.

We need to hold these individuals accountable for their heinous crimes.

We also need to find some way to start dismantling the systems that enabled and empowered them.

Doing the first part without doing the second, is wildly insufficient at best, and performative at worst.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

This exact same reporter was ousted from the NY Times for soliciting a $30,000 donation from Epstein— and you're telling me that as an employer, the NY Times never bothered to circle back and review this person's correspondence with a convicted pedophile?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015
