A homeless seventeen year old who needed dental care was prostituted by Matt Gaetz, then told by the courts that her testimony was worthless because she'd been paid for her time.

That's what the byline should be.
Matt Gaetz raped a 17 year old child after exploiting her healthcare needs for money and this is how the NY Times is framing it.

"ended up having sex with powerful men"

Literally whitewashing child rape.

Corporate media is dead. Stop subscribing to it. This is beyond saving.

It’s the same thing as reffing a soccer game - whatever your rules are, the players might complain but they’ll respect them if you enforce them equally. When you’re inconsistent is when shit starts breaking down, because then there’s no more trust in a neutral arbiter.

Look, all I’m gonna say on The Current Topic is that moderation needs to be consistent - if you’re gonna drop the hammer for quoting song lyrics and getting pissed about child rapists, yet you let slide accounts that say trans people shouldn’t exist, then yeah, there’s gonna be some questions.

This is a very good case in point - if BlueSky wants to moderate heavily, then moderate heavily, but you gotta hit all the offenders, *especially* the powerful ones
this is a far more explicit death threat from people with the actual means to carry it out

If the NYT told the story of the homeless teenager exploited by Matt Gaetz with even half as much empathy as it tells the story of Olivia Nuzzi, it would be in danger of committing journalism.

I was suspended right before the Epstein emails were released. If the BlueSky search engine works, you will find a wealth of posts from me about the people in those emails, who I wrote about in my books HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW. This is the work I feared would be erased on Twitter.

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

I thought the idea of a sex abuse ring at the highest levels of government was overheated and ridiculous.

I thought Captain America: The Winter Soldier having secret Nazi senators was over the top.

For example, the purposeful transgression of social norms and bearing witness to those transgressions are often part of hazing rituals, which are designed to foster group cohesion.

A similar dynamic was at play with the Epstein network. People didn’t overlook the abuse. They sought in-group status.
For many people in positions of power, being a sexual predator and covering up for sexual predators are not only NOT disqualifying—they are forms of in-group bonding.

The Epstein network is the most prominent example of that dynamic, but the dynamic exists at multiple levels throughout our society.

the thing that strikes me about this — again, besides it being false — is the venom and disrespect for the people who come here to work and build better lives. they aren’t “servants.”
