"The Epstein revelations matter because they’re symptomatic of a larger ecosystem of secrecy and impunity that Trump — and many of the rightwing billionaires associated with him — have relied on for decades. An ecosystem that destroys democracies. ...
The crisis is that such a network exists at all. That Trump has rebuilt government in a way to protect that morbidly rich network."
~ Thom Hartmann

"the freedom to behave as abhorrently as they wish, to treat women however they wish, to take the jobs that women and people of color rightfully earned simply because there is a presumption of white male deservedness. Some of the highest-ranking members of the Trump administration not only attend churches where the pastors say women shouldn’t be allowed to vote and must submit to male authority, but share videos making those same arguments."
"The young people staffing Republican politicians and organizing young conservative groups are a notoriously noxious bunch, with racism, misogyny, and anti-Semitism simply part of the waters they’re all swimming in. Speaker Mike Johnson is a religious fundamentalist who worked to keep gay sex criminal, opposes no-fault divorce, and is himself in a 'covenant marriage,' which Moira Donegan at the Guardian aptly describes" (continued in /6)
"Most of us probably believed that child sex abuse — engaging in or covering for — was a red line for just about everyone. But why should Trump, whose appeal is that he doesn’t play by any rules, have to abide by this one?
Today’s Republican Party, though, is avowedly misogynist; it is a party that has built itself into a temple of white male grievance, and that promises not just to help white men get good jobs back, but to get impunity back —"

"This is an administration that has built its identity on white male power unfettered by 'political correctness' or basic decency, unimpeded by the law or old norms, and unchallenged by the women or racial minorities who were increasingly competing with white men for power."

Israel is the only county on earth that talks openly about its soldiers having the "right" to gang rape Palestinian captives (male or female) but prosecutes the investigators who exposed it to public.
This is the "only democracy" in middle east western nations so eagerly support and protect.
We live in a world undescribable by words....

So, »Today is the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists. Without justice, the violence will not stop.«
I'd be interested in how you stand by the more than 240 #journalists killed in #Gaza by #Israel.
Care to comment on how exactly you are planning to "end #impunity", and to hold Israel accountable?
Thank you in advance for elaborating on that, here.
