In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & donât seek to appease.

So there's something happening (primarily on Twitter): right-wing commentators/influencers are straight up inventing a reality where "the left" has been completely owned by the fact that Bill Clinton is in the Epstein photos.
