This is a repost from 2019. Epstein was bad before he was entangled with Trump. He symbolizes American rot.

A small š§µon my year in reading - would love to hear about your recommendations! I read 54 books this year, which was by far a personal best (yet nowhere near some friends). I'll publish the full list below. A few highlights:

There are only 45 million foreign-born people living in the United States right now, about half of whom are naturalized citizens. So this ridiculous edge-lord post by taxpayer-funded trolls is suggesting deporting 55 million native-born citizens.

This is my last big piece of the year. I wrote it as much for myself as anybody else, because there's so many EOs, court cases, temporary successes, and reversals. I wanted a place to put it all, something to come back to in future years, to keep the knowledge of what 2025 meant to trans rights.

Recall that in July, Trump's justification for banning Epstein from Mar-a-Lago was that he "stole" his spa employees. Now WSJ reports that MAL staff knew Epstein was exposing himself on the house calls they set up, which sounds like sex trafficking

A thing to watch: In my reporting this year, ICE/DHSās enhanced presence in cities was clearly spurring significant organizing among many liberals ā and some not-so-liberals. The Trump admin may not care, but curious to see if *further* ramping up that effort will backfire come, say, the midterms.

You know, there are so many of these stories, and I think it's mostly because journalists largely see politics as a team sports game or a way to social climb and don't understand people who see it as a reflection of their values.

WSJ: Trump banned Epstein in 2003 which "came three years after Maxwell recruited another employee, Virginia Giuffre, who was 16 years old when she left the spa to work for Epstein." But in July Trump said he banned Epstein bc of Virginia not this other employee.

NYT story on this just posted, and it's appropriately harsh, emphasizing another angle: Top DOJ officials had a heavy hand in this prosecution and may have misled the court about their involvement. All this because Trump/Miller have to "win" against this day laborer.

These people. They prattle about natural defenses and preparing your immune system. But that's what vaccines do: prepare your immune system. They teach your body about the foe and leave, like a posting most-wanted poster at a police station. It's your own immune system that fights off the infection.
