das ist genau die Haltung von männern wie pritzker die sich selbst als boys with Toys verstehen. sie geben Dingen Sinn. das haben sie gelernt.
das haben Eltern ihren Kindern lange nahegelegt. es geht um dinge.
ich denke es ist Zeit das Spektrum zu erweitern bzw zu verschieben. Es geht um Beziehung zu seinem inneren und zu anderen.
dinge sind nicht der Fokus des lebens.

"I am willing to die for this!" 😱 A lady has set the internet on fire after accusing BBNaija's Neo Akpofure of rape. She didn't stop there—two other men were named in the shocking thread. Is this the start of a new #MeToo wave? #ValidUpdates #NeoAkpofure

nonfiction #NowReading Owned: How Tech Billionaires on the Right Bought the Loudest Voices on the Left, by Eoin Higgins. I got the audiobook from my library as soon as I knew it existed, because I remembered Mefites lauding journalist Matt Taibbi at one point, then a few years later being gobsmacked at Taibbi's apparent 180 degree switcheroo.

Turns out that (among other motivating factors) Taibbi got freaked out by #MeToo. Boo hoo, you selfish prick. Anyway, this book also gave me a better understanding of Substack's Nazification; the billionaires' proposed utopian city in Solano County CA (it's not built yet; my climate colleagues there have been organizing against it for the past year); and how rightwing populism is an inversion of power dynamics (billionaires and their lackeys are plucky underdogs struggling against the domineering hordes of us ordinary folks, apparently).

We seriously need to restart the #MeToo movement. BIG TIME. If we did, amid all the global investigations, they would be SUNK.

Been thinking about the backlash to #MeToo and how that was almost certainly pushed by the kind of folks who visited #Epstein’s island.

(“Visited Epstein’s island” should probably become a shorthand for “abused women and girls” and/or “covered for others who abused women and girls.”)

They were against cancel culture, #MeToo, being called out, accountability/responsibility for men's toxic behaviours, SA, abuse, wolf-calling, aggressiveness, They were for free speech, which was ONE way only, theirs! No protests, jokes, irony, demonstrations - from banned to executed.

Now I'd like to shift the lens back to the details of the Trump-loyal Department of Justice's illegal coverup operation to protect powerful abusers and confidants exposed in the #EpsteinFiles releases, because once you understand the mechanics of the strategy gamed out in Epstein's email box, it becomes very easy to see how Pam Bondi and the rest of Trump's criminal minions in the DoJ are helping to advance the quest by rich and powerful abusers, to silence Epstein survivors and hide their own complicity and potential involvement in these crimes. With that in mind, let's look at this short (18m) video by Mike Figueredo of the Humanist Report, that talks about Epstein survivors accusations that Pam Bondi released their names on purpose to expose them to harm, as well as Trump's attorney general openly perjuring herself to protect the Swine Emperor from allegations of rape, and possibly even murder, found in the Injustice Department's still heavily redacted Epstein Files releases.

Pam Bondi is Breaking Laws and Endangering Victims to Protect Epstein's Co-Conspirators

"And it proves we have a two-tiered justice system in this country where the most heinous sex crimes, and even crimes against humanity, are effectively decriminalized if you have money and power. Meanwhile, if you get caught smoking weed in certain states they'll throw the book at you. It's just so ridiculous. This isn't a legal system, it's a failed state where a cabal of pedophile elites run the country like the fucking Mafia."

Taken as a whole, this video confirms that the Department of Justice, and Pam Bondi in particular are indeed engaging in a criminal coverup to protect powerful people in the Epstein files, including almost certainly Donald Trump himself. Mike talks about why both he and the Epstein survivors believe the Injustice Department released their names intentionally; specifically to allow powerful Epstein associates to throw enough expensive lawfare at them to coerce their silence. He demonstrates this concept by examining former Trump lawyer and longtime defender of powerful men accused of pedo rapey shit Alan Dershowitz's years-long, still ongoing quest to expose Epstein accusers' names to facilitate defamation lawsuits. It goes without saying that we can put #AlanDershowitz both #InTheFiles and on the hypothetical #EpsteinList of accused abusers and traffickers, but in light of what we already know about Epstein's efforts to blunt the #MeToo movement, and the Trump DoJ's (both of them) efforts to cover up this scandal, Dersh's quest to convince the world that he and his friends are victims of a neo-McCarthyist witch hunt targeting rich men, takes on a far more sinister complexion.

Which brings us to the second part of the video, where we get to watch Congressman #TedLiu get Pam Bondi to openly perjure herself. After coaxing Bondi to emphatically state that there's no evidence Trump committed any crimes, Liu then produces a witness statement taken by the FBI's National Threat Operation Center from a limo driver who told the feds he heard Trump talking to a man named "Jeff" about abusing girls. Shockingly, this limo driver also told the FBI that he'd met a woman who said she was raped by Trump and Epstein, and that woman ended up with "her head blown off" in an incident police said could not be a suicide. I'm am not fucking with you at all here folks, those are all things Ted Liu spoke into the Congressional record during Pam Bondi's oversight hearing. As Liu noted, the Department of Justice literally never talked to the limo driver again, and the woman who "got her head blown" off's death was never investigated by anyone at all - despite police suspicion it might be a homicide.

Finally Mike notes that Trump's DoJ under Bondi has been caught tracking the searches of US Congress members who have sought access to the "unredacted" but still redacted Epstein Files. It is presently unclear why the Trump regime is engaged in active and almost certainly illegal surveillance of Congress members exercising their rights as enshrined by the Epstein Act Trump himself signed into law, but you can bet there ain't an innocent reason for this actual McCarthyist bullshit either. Also, while it's not super important I would like to once again remind you that Trump, the man accused in an FBI witness report of raping a girl who ended up murdered, literally said this particular Epstein Files release "exonerated him."

Folks as complicated as the Epstein story is, the coverup behind it isn't complicated at all. Trump's DoJ is breaking the law to protect Epstein's rich friends, including Donald Trump, and it doesn't take a fucking genius to figure out why they'd be doing that. The entire Trump administration is effectively a criminal enterprise, run by a rich pedo rapist with dirt on everyone.

#Epstein #EpsteinFiles #FBI #Trump #DepartmentOfJustice #PamBondi #MikeFigueredo #Coverup #BelieveWomen

Alright, so we finally have our first undeniable #EpsteinPlot post; I'm sorry it took us like twenty posts to get here but like I warned you way back when I first repurposed this thread to talk about Epstein, his powerful friends, and the incredibly massive coverup surrounding all of this, this is multi-decade crime against not only Epstein's victims, but our society as a whole. I can't walk you through it in three 5K character posts, even if I wish I could.

Of course, #Epstein plotting to discredit sexual assault survivors out of his own self interest with other powerful men accused of abuse during the #MeToo moment isn't the biggest conspiracy fact exposed in the Epstein Files, nor are his co-conspirators the most powerful people among Epstein's friends, confidants, plotters, and advisors. The people in the story I shared above are all scumbags and monsters, but they're pretty small fry compared to say, two US presidents (including the guy in office right now) and a former Israeli Prime Minister.

Despite this however, even this chain of plotting in Epstein's email box, directly corelates with macro decisions made by members of the #EpsteinClass that affect our society as a whole - in this case US President #DonaldTrump, who is not only #InTheFiles but I'm comfortable putting on the #EpsteinList of actual pedo rapists and likely human traffickers. To understand the connection between the micro and the macro, Let's turn to this recent piece by Joan Wallach Scott that talks about Trump's executive order on gender (the same one that says I, as a trans woman basically don't exist) and the growing, successful quest across the United States to eliminate gender studies courses, through the lens of an Epstein class chock full of extremely powerful abusers and more than willing enablers exposed in the US Justice Departments various (and still incomplete) #EpsteinFiles releases.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/13/gender-studies-trump-epstein

Gender studies courses are shutting down across the US. The Epstein files reveal why

"The move to cancel gender studies is explicitly justified as a way to comply with Donald Trump’s executive order of last year titled Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. That document makes “the biological reality of sex” a matter not of science but of law.

Until this week’s latest dump of the Epstein files by Trump’s justice department, I hadn’t seen the connection between the two. But now it’s as clear as day. The abolition of gender studies is a way of further guaranteeing impunity to the elite men whose contempt for and exploitation of women and girls apparently knew no bounds, whether they actually slept with the women on offer or simply shared Epstein’s fantasies in order to gain influence or funding."

Okay so first things first, lets put lets put former director of the Whitney Museum #DavidRoss "in the files" and on the "confirmed sick fucks" list even if he was bonding with Epstein over pedo shit, not necessarily committing rape crimes as far as we know, yet. What a revolting human being.

With that out of the way, I think the author's argument that Trump's attempt to enshrine biological gender determinism into law, and a fascist American right's weaponization of that law to eradicate critical studies programs that not only elevate women's voices but illuminate the structural causes behind the victimization of women and girls by powerful men and the existence of the Epstein ring itself, are a clear and obvious boon to abusers and confidants named in the Epstein files, is utterly unassailable. Re-marginalizing women's voices as a whole, further marginalizes women accusing powerful men of sexual assault; full stop.

So at that point, all that's left to argue about is whether or not this relationship between Epstein's plots to rewind time on the accusations against him, the larger Epstein circle of friends attempts to rewind time on #MeToo accusations, and noted Epstein associate and imo exposed ring member Donald Trump's attempts to rewind time on women having a voice to accuse men like him in the first place, is intentional. On that matter, the Epstein Files are as of yet silent, but as a rational observer I think the establishment world around us warping to Trump's whims and desires silence and further re-marginalize women and sexual violence victims, is singing quite loudly. I can't prove that Trump's executive order, or the decision by US Universities to end gender studies courses arose directly out of Jeff Epstein's plotting, but going forward I want you to pay attention to how often the things Trump and his fascist administration do to reshape our society, just happen to line up perfectly with the ideas and strategies being run through Jeff Epstein's inbox by some of the most powerful, influential, and quite frankly fucking disgusting people on Earth.

Furthermore, we know how important the task of discrediting survivor testimony is to the Epstein class as a whole, because we saw it play out very publicly in 2017 with the #MeToo movement, and the organized backlash against it by abusive men with positions of power in our society. How would the world's most famous pedophile, and those in his orbit respond to a society-wide shift in the discourse encouraging us to "believe women" and survivors? Well, if his inbox is any indication, #Epstein himself helped organize the backlash to discredit the movement, at the prompting of Michael Wolff; who is being exposed as an enabler for Epstein's influence trading operation and image rehabilitation efforts, through these file releases.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/feb/06/epstein-files-metoo

Epstein said he was ‘asked everyday’ for advice on #MeToo: ‘So many guys reaching out to me’

"But when taken together, the emails, texts and other documents contained in the releases reveal Epstein’s engagement with the #MeToo movement and the men felled by it. In some cases, the convicted child sex offender and a coterie of elites strategized over how to blunt the power of the #MeToo movement and the women who fueled it.

“So many guys caught in the me too . reaching out to me. asking when does the madness stop,” Epstein wrote in December 2018 to a recipient whose identity is redacted."

Like every article about Epstein plotting with influential people, this piece is a hot mess that simultaneously drops too many bombshell revelations to keep track of, while also minimizing how deeply incriminating all of this is for literally anyone emailing the world's most famous pedophile blackmailer for advice on how to handle sexual assault, abuse, and harassment allegations against them or their rich friends. I guess if you know you're guilty, you turn to the guy who literally got away with a sex trafficking ring through networking and top flight public relations management, right?

If you want all the good dirt, you're going to have to read the whole article but let's put publicist #PeggySiegall, intellectual #NoamChomsky, and technologist #JoiIto on the "confirmed friends and confidants of Epstein who vented with him about #MeToo" list, "journalist" #RichardWolff, and scientist #LawrenceKrauss on the "strategized with Epstein about how to discredit survivor accusations and accounts in the wake of the #MeToo movement" list, and noted creep abusers outed during the #MeToo reckoning #StephenElliott and #LorinStein on standby because we don't have them talking to Epstein directly, but Richard Wolff sought out Epstein's advice on their behalf and it would appear that Elliot in particular acted on that advice.

And that is the part I want to focus on, because while I'm tempted to believe The Guardian buried the lede here, the reality that Epstein was deeply involved in developing a strategy to protect other powerful rich men accused of abusing their status to engage in sexual violence and harassment against women is exposed in the article - they just broke it up into two parts.

"Wolff wanted Epstein to support Stephen Elliott, a writer looking to sue the creator of the Shitty Media Men List, a crowd-sourced Google Doc that detailed anonymous allegations of misconduct against dozens of men who worked in the media industry.

“I have always thought that the way back from this climate is through specific instances of individuals successfully challenging their persecution,” Wolff wrote to Epstein, according to emails released in a tranche from the so-called Epstein files. “If his story is solid he might be worth supporting.”

Initially, Epstein was unmoved. In a single-word, no-punctuation email, the convicted sexual offender replied: “tough.”

“Give it some further thought, if you would,” wrote Wolff, who had originally received Elliott’s pitch through Lorin Stein, the former editor of the prestigious Paris Review and another name on the Shitty Media Men List. “I think there is an opening here. What you need is an excuse – or opportunity – to make the public argument.”

Epstein relented: “ill help anyway i can. if you like.”

Weeks later, Elliott sued Moira Donegan, the Shitty Media Men List’s creator."

Of course, we only have access to the Epstein emails already released, so all we know is that tons of influential people seemed to think Epstein was the go-to guy on #MeToo; which is incriminating in its own right. But as the Guardian slyly notes later, the proof of the plot is kind of in the pudding.

"Wolff’s apparent suggestion, that accused individuals file lawsuit proved prescient, since defamation lawsuits have become a major feature of the backlash to #MeToo. As of last year, nearly a fifth of the 400-plus cases supported by the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, a post-#MeToo organization that helps people who survived sexual harassment at work, were in defense of someone sued for defamation."

Folks the plot to erase "believe women" as an IDEA goes deep.

#vendredilecture du lundi soir

Je poursuis ma lecture de Slut Shaming – Faire payer les femmes par Ovidie. On est lancé dans une immersion dans le milieu du cinéma dans une époque d'avant #metoo que Ovidie nomme le #pornochic des années fin 1990, début 2000. C'est toujours très personnel avec des références et des notes de bas de page. C'est très facile à lire même si le livre dénonce des faits, des comportements, des attitudes très problématiques.

@sushee Now that I look at House, M.D. with eyes that have seen #Metoo and Epstein and many other consequences of systems that protects the most vile and abusive men...

I shed a 💧 when I hear Massive Attack's song they used for the theme.

@rewurhg88

Ich weiß es! Die rechte Hand gehört da nicht! #metoo

And believe the women and children THE FIRST TIME. To think it’s done lightly in this world!!!!!
You cannot imagine the suffering and surveillance and threats they go through for speaking up to hold men accountable. You cannot imagine. I have lived it for 30 years now. It is unrelenting. #metoo but it’s hard because no one believed, or cared. No one would have believed I have been surveilled years ago. I would be called paranoid. They want to make you crazy or look crazy. Lose all support.
