Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Americans are fed up with a political system where big money speaks louder than everyday people. A new national poll shows that large majorities of voters believe money in politics is a threat to our elections, and that large donors make it harder for ordinary Americans to be heard.

Here's a warning.
People saw that Trump worked with Russia to get elected. After some time that was made to go away.
People saw J6 happen. After some time that also was made to go away, and the people were pardoned.
Don't let what ICE is doing fade into the background of short attention spans.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Nothing too surprising here. FBI agents involved say at this point both Thiel and Musk were targets of what was perhaps the largest and most elaborate recruitment operation that Russian intelligence was running, and the most successful.

The republicans have the arrogance and political posturing to make everyone know they are not afraid of losing the next election. Trump and musk rigged the last election.
But don’t take my word for that. You will all find out.
I hope I’m wrong 😐.

Terrorism is the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to induce fear, intending to coerce governments or societies to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It often targets civilians and critical infrastructure to disrupt safety and advance specific agendas.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.
This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Awful to even try to catalogue the harm being done here in MN.
Educational harms, students out school? At least months.
Economic harms, from empty, half-functioning businesses? At least years.
Civic and psychic harms, from shattering the basic sense of safety? Decades.
Stolen neighbors? Forever.

Exactly. The harm being done to our immigrant communities, the harm being done to communities of color, the harm being done to all of us, will not be measured in days or months. It will be measured in generations.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

I don't know how many times we will be told by the legacy media that Trump is moderating or backing off only to then see he is worse than ever. He is an authoritarian. He enjoys the cruelty. And the first thing he had Pam Bondi do after the shooting was to try to leverage it to get the voter files.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
