I think imma just keep reposting this every day, as nothing expresses my rage about this farce better:
#Media organizations hold #power.
With power comes #duty. That duty is simple: show #reality as accurately as possible. Not only what is comfortable. Not only what feels safe. Also what is uncertain, complex, or uncomfortable.
If a highly powerful political leader repeatedly confuses countries, shows sudden speech disruptions, or displays noticeable physical changes, this is not #gossip. It can be an indicator of #cognitive decline. In medicine, patterns matter more than isolated events. One mistake can be random. Many similar mistakes over time are a signal. #Science works exactly this way: it looks for repeated deviations from normal baselines.
This is where the #moral #responsibility of the media begins. Media do not need to #diagnose. But they should not completely ignore signals that are being seriously discussed by qualified experts. Because omission also shapes public reality. In #psychology, this is known as #normalization through #exposure. If something is ignored often enough, it starts to appear normal.
Pop culture illustrates this clearly. Imagine a sci-fi series where a spaceship crew keeps ignoring warning lights. Every episode they say, “Probably just a sensor glitch.” Eventually the warp core explodes. Not because nobody could see the problem. But because nobody wanted to say it out loud.
Or think about multiplayer games. When one player is clearly lagging, the team adapts strategy. They do not pretend everyone is perfectly synchronized. Recognizing reality is the basis for good decision-making. Politics works the same way. Voters and institutions need an accurate situation assessment.
The concept often described as “sanewashing” reflects a broader social tendency. Humans and institutions prefer stability. The #brain likes predictability. That is why deviations are often downplayed. But science shows that early #warning signs are crucial. In #medicine. In #climate #research. In #engineering safety. And in political #analysis.
A common counterargument is: without a confirmed diagnosis, nothing should be discussed. This sounds careful. But it is only partially scientific. Science often operates with probabilities, not absolute certainty. Evidence-based expert hypotheses are not taboo. They are part of #knowledge formation. The key is #transparency: What is proven? What is #hypothesis? Who says it? Based on which methods?
If media avoid all relevant expert hypotheses out of #fear of being wrong, an #information vacuum forms. That vacuum will be filled by uncontrolled sources. Social media rumors. Extreme narratives. This weakens #trust in professional #journalism.
Honor in journalism does not mean #perfection. Honor means #responsibility. Moral #integrity does not mean zero risk. It means pursuing #truth despite risk. The principle “tell it as it is” remains correct. But “what is” constantly changes. Reality is not a frozen picture. It is closer to a live stream. Showing only old frames is no longer truth.
In pop culture terms: Reality is not a finished movie. It is an open-world game. New events constantly appear. If media only show the starting map, they mislead the players.
Therefore, media institutions should evolve their #tools and standards. They need clear, ethical frameworks for discussing medical or cognitive warning signals in extremely powerful public figures. Not sensationalist. Not #disrespectful. But also not #blind.
Because ultimately, this is not about individual politicians. It is about systems. About #democracy. About informed citizens. Truth is rarely comfortable. But ignoring it does not make it less real.
Moral journalism means this: Do not only report what appears stable. Also report when #stability itself may be in #question. That is where real responsibility begins.

Vermont Rep. Balint was on fire today asking AG #PamBondi if the #DOJ had asked Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan; Deputy Sec of War, Stephen Feinberg & Commerce Sec #Lutnick about their ties to #Epstein.
Bondi didn't answer & deflected the question.

BALINT: This is not a game, secretary.
BONDI: I am Attorney General.
BALINT: My apologies; I couldn't tell.
Pam Bondi is a national embarrassment.
She’s disparaging all Epstein survivors with her callous disregard for truth and blatant attempts to protect predators.
It’s not incompetence though.
It’s something much much worse.
She’s following orders.
She’s doing what she was hired to do.
This is exactly what Trump wants.

If you are using ai to undress women you are in the epstein files by proxy.

If you defend sexual abusers you are in the epstein files by proxy.

If you sexually abuse women by any means whatsoever you are in the epstein files by proxy.
This is such a great #photo! The unnamed #photographer had a couple of options when #Epstein's victims were asked to raise their hands if they were still awaiting to meet with the #DOJ. With #PamBondi in the foreground, they could totally have used a different #focal length to get everyone into #focus. But they deliberately choose to focus on the victims, leaving #Bondi blurred out. This is the beauty and genius of #photography, how one technical decision changes everything.
"The insistence that female humans of any age be pliant dolls connects Epstein and his johns. If the victims happen to be under the age of 18, maybe better for malleability, but the acceptable age range in their kink is not textbook pedophilia. Their game is garden-variety commodification and pornification of females."

"Jayapal then asked Bondi to turn around and apologize to the survivors for what her Department of Justice had put them through with the chaotic and irresponsible handling of the Epstein files. Bondi refused. She would not even turn around to acknowledge them.
Instead, she pivoted to attacking Democrats over impeachment proceedings from years ago."

"In one powerful and revealing moment [as Bondi testified], Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal asked the survivors in the room to stand if they had not been able to meet with the Department of Justice. Every single survivor raised their hand. Every single one."

"These and other revelations are creating political earthquakes in Europe as lawmakers there demand accountability and officials resign in disgrace. But here at home, the GOP continues to protect Trump and other members of Epstein Class."

@rbreich At this point, is it safe to say that #trump’s name appears more often in the files than #epstein? Maybe they should name them the #trumpfiles.
Remember, folks, when Pam Bondi leaves office, she must still be held accountable for orchestrating the Epstein coverup. She shielded the pedophiles who harmed Epstein victims because of their connections to Donald Trump, who is also in the files and clearly a customer of Jeffrey Epstein and a pedophile himself. People must continue to publicly confront Pam Bondi for her coverup of pedophilia. Confront her in public wherever she shows her face. https://youtu.be/F2Rchbfb0LE #uspol #trump #epstein #pambondi
