@publicvoit@graz.socialI'm not an expert on the #Epstein files.
However, it does seem ridiculous to me that any person mentioned in the #EpsteinFiles or having had contact with Epstein is now considered a bad person. 🤷
To me, it would require a certain context or deeper involvement in those
@paulwermer@sfba.social#EpsteinFiles syndrome?
‘Never been closer’: UFO watchers buoyed by Trump and Vance’s alien ‘obsession’

@hex@kolektiva.socialI wanna jump one more time on the whole "distraction" framing, because this is a point that needs to be hammered home (and I need a reminder to write something longer).
Attacks on trans youth are not a distraction from other types of coercion, they are central to it. Attacks on trans youth come from a conceptualization of children as property, which is literally patriarchy in the Roman sense of the legal objectification all people who share a household as belonging to a man. This legal structure, Roman slave law, continues to be the root of property rights and therefore the foundation of capitalism.
But colonialism also extends from it through the infantalization of colonized people as a justification for oppression. This can also be turned inward again manifesting as the justification for police (that is, some people "can't handle themselves and need external authority to act right").
The #Epstein stuff isn't some weird thing that rich people get away with, it's core to how wealth works. Money isn't useful by itself, it's a proxy for power. One manifestation of power is being able to violate laws that constrain others (this is the "freedom of the monarch" that Graeber talks about in Dawn of Everything). The war in Iran, especially the threats of nuclear weapons and genocide is not a distraction from the #EpsteinFiles, but rather a manifestation of the same thing.
Power must be demonstrated to affirm that it is real. War is a demonstration power. Violating the law without consequences is a demonstration of power. The most taboo things are using nuclear weapons and child sexual abuse. He has already done one of those, and he is going to do everything he can to do the other.
These are not distractions, these are all manifestations of the underlying thing that we need to fight. But we need to make sure we're fighting it as a single thing. We have to tie these things together, because if we do not then we risk reproducing the same thing again but worse.
@seav@en.osm.townBuried in the #EpsteinFiles are email exchanges where Epstein contracted teams to sanitize his #Wikipedia article.
@profcarroll@federate.socialI suppose it was inevitable that people would make #EpsteinFiles in an appropriate and approachable UX/UI.
@shaun@mastodon.xyzDonald #Trump, who appears in the #EpsteinFiles perhaps more than Epstein himself, began #Easter Sunday with a vulgar post that concluded “Praise be to Allah!”
That’s the news today. From now to eternit…
@cjust@infosec.exchangeOh, no.

@roelgrif@mstdn.socialMisschien was het ook wel handiger om iemand op verhoor te vragen die *wel* talloze malen in de #EpsteinFiles voorkomt.
Trump bijvoorbeeld.

@vosje62@mastodon.nl @profcarroll@federate.socialThe Mercer family appears in #EpsteinFiles client lists. The patriarch, Robert Mercer, is known for contributions to computer science and algorithmic trading at Renaissance Tech. His family bankrolled Citizens United, Steve Bannon, Milo, Cambridge Analytica, Trump’s first campaign, and countless other arch-conservative organizations.
@maze@osna.socialSeit 30 Jahren sehr viel #DunkleMaterie um die #epsteinfiles. Vielleicht könnten #Astrowissenschaftler mithelfen Licht ins Dunkle zu bringen.
For 30 years, there has be a lot of…
@cdonat@hostsharing.coopGuess, who actually is in the #EpsteinFiles over 1000 times? #Putin
Looks like the whole scheme was a Russian super honey-trap. Epsteins "customers" all have to be considered compromised - including
@ubuntourist@mastodon.socialDon't let the Epstein Files become lost in all of the intentional distraction.

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyHow is the publication of the Trump-Epstein files progressing?
#Epstein #Epsteinfiles
@simplicator@federate.socialThis should be the beginning of the end.
That the corporate press is suppressing it & the Democratic Party isn’t trumpeting it from the hills bodes even worse than things already did. But it is a big crack in the dam, and we should all push. #EpsteinFiles

@Lach@social.linux.pizzaLooked at at couple of #epsteinfiles and found this. The cameras was working when #Epstein died, but sounds like there was a problem with the raid. Apparently FBI has some corrupted files, so who knows if it was recoverable...
@ubuntourist@mastodon.socialSo, what's new in the Epstein files? Any more creepy Uncle Donnie news?

@hex@kolektiva.socialThere are a lot of takeaways from this:
1. Organizing locally gives you a massive advantage because you will always know your local area better than ICE ever can.
2. Be agile. You can always change tactics faster than a centralized organization.
3. Organize now. The sooner you build your networks, the sooner you can learn.
4. Identify ICE facilities and organize monitoring them directly.
But I think the most interesting one that's not explicitly in there, one that's hinted at the last one, is to go on the offensive. ICE is already afraid. If we all take the anger we have at the murder of #ReneGood, find the local ICE facility that they'll stage from, and bring that anger to #OccupyICE we might be able to just shut the whole thing down preemptively. Completely stop all ICE operations across the US. If they want to fight, they can fight *with everyone, all at once.*
Shut down their ability to operate at all. They have a logistics pipeline. They need cars, they need oil in those cars, they need to be able to move those cars to target areas. They also need money to pay those agents. All of those can be disrupted.
The regime needs your money and labor to maintain the illusion of legitimacy. They chose a bad time because you can hit both of those at once *right now* with a combination of #GeneralStrike and #TaxStrike, and then #BoycottEverything.
The regime is weaker than it's ever been. It's flailing. Their own base is demanding the release of the #EpsteinFiles. Their last gasp attempt to prevent the radical change that's coming is just to ethnically cleanse the US back to the 50's (which is what they always meant by "Make America Great Again"). Trump will do anything to stay in power, even if it means killing everyone on Earth in the process. But Americans can end it now by going on the offensive.
Now is the time.
