Years ago, one of my professors cut off a fellow student who was waxing poetic about people being "of" their time with respect to chattel slavery. He said: 'do you know who knew that enslavement was evil and morally disgusting? ENSLAVED AFRICANS.' Were they not of their time too? At 18, that stuck.

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

Marth Stewart went to prison for insider trading on one stock. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought 17 stocks just before Donald Trump declared his "pause" in tariffs that caused those stocks to rise in value. How many others were tipped off? How many stocks did Donald buy? Ivanka? Mike Johnson?
