He harassed another kid at high school enough to the point the police were involved. Some sort of investigation involved “injury to a child.”

Ugh, it looks like they intimidated the girls and harassed them for years afterwards.

“Jeffrey raped me and then his friend came in afterward to mock the entire scenario,” Robson recounted as she cleared her throat and breathed through the moment. “They decided to follow me for years to my job at Olive Garden to my gym at LA Fitness in Wellington. They would track me and harass me. It was part of the Epstein intimidation.”

But I also wonder if there are bodies on that island.

Have any of the victims ever come forward?

That’s an odd piece of this puzzle - where did those children end up? Dead? Threatened into silence (like the girl who had a lawsuit against Trump that was dropped around his first election?)

They are still getting followed.

His shit about trans women in women’s sports got Lia Thomas’s records stripped from her, and I doubt any school is going to allow trans women to play anything in the future.

There are a few. One down the block from me collaborates with the LGBT youth shelter and has progress flags.

Methodists tend to be nice - the couple of times I got to go to a support group for LGBT teens was at a Methodist church, and this was almost twenty years ago. Unitarian Universalists are basically atheists, pagans and hippies that like the structure of meeting together on Sundays. Quakers have always been very politically active, mostly on the correct side of things.

The Southern Baptist Convention has basically been running our politics for decades. Literally founded to support slavery, created the “pro life”/forced birth movement from whole cloth, and fought integration and civil rights tooth and nail.

Gen Z was explicitly not taught how to read properly. It’s very difficult to not be conspiracist and think it was on purpose. Phonics was thrown out entirely for years. Teachers spoke up about it not working, and were forced to work the programs anyway.

Dude, if you put sugar in a gas tank you are wasting your time. That is my point. If you are going to resist, do things that WORK

Sugar doesn’t destroy property - that’s my point. Are you literate? Make some caltrops or do something that actually works.

Am in a currently targeted group, and also doing things which are effective, unlike sugar in gas tanks.

My goal I think is to be a science clown. Balloon animals with a touch of biology, comedically “failing” at chemistry experiments, the physics of juggling. The goal has been percolating in my head for a few years, but now I’ve lost all sense of shame and feel like I could confidently fall on my ass and look like an idiot to entertain and educate.

100% serious. I spent like 10 minutes entertaining a two year old by failing to juggle earlier today and that was the most joy I’ve felt since November.

Just not looking for the low effort, Reddit-tier jokes. Wanting actual advice or at least funny jokes.

Sugar in gas tanks is a myth.

So people are just going to die right?

We’re going to have old people cut off from their health care, rural areas will have their hospitals closed, and people are going to die.

Why is the world such a sick place?

I get double pay for the holiday, yay!

It’s always been characterized as a police action against “criminals.”

In the US, we declared war against Native Americans, so it’s more obviously a genocide. Murders of aboriginal Australians have always been constructed as police actions.

Best we can do is more slaughter by the police.

In the US, it’s really that you are taking a pay cut during the year to get paid during the summer.

I’ve never had a real “summer break.” Always either second job, professional development, or school.

I’ve seen MAGAs post gleeful memes at the idea of immigrants being eaten by alligators. It’s sick.

That’s literally what they call trans men. That is the argument. We are all supposedly autistic, which means that we can’t be trusted to make decisions over our own bodies. That is constantly used to infantilize us, and will eventually be used to take away our ability to access transition.
