The recently released trove of Jeffrey Epstein's emails show that the powerful people around the sexual predator had no problem ignoring his crimes as long as it benefited them, says journalist @AnandWrites. https://t.co/iLzCyGCKHz

Well, you’re no peach yourself. But thank you for reading!

As discussed on @Morning_Joe, some fantastic questions to enliven your family or friends Thanksgiving table, from the brilliant @PriyaParker, a.k.a. my copilot. https://t.co/p78SdwqA8x

Say what you will about Jeffrey Epstein, but he chose his friends well: a power elite he could trust to look away at his crimes because they had spent a generation looking away at so much other abuse and suffering, often pain that they had helped to cause.

I mean, fair

The clubby deal-making and moral racketeering of the Epstein class is now the United States’ governing philosophy. https://t.co/7VEP146sZF

.@AnandWrites powerfully articulates why I have been calling out the Epstein class. This fight is about justice for the survivors. It’s also about standing against elite impunity and a governing class that outsourced jobs for profits and got us into endless wars.

Everyone needs to read this fantastic essay by @AnandWrites to ground themselves in the underlying political dynamic in this country over the last decade. Americans “no longer feel included in the work of choosing their future.” This is why populist economics is popular and

Really great piece from @AnandWrites

Reading the Epstein emails, many ask: How could these eminent people all look away? But if the Epstein class has a talent, it’s looking away. Many in it worked up to disregarding Epstein’s victims by looking away at so much other abuse and suffering. https://t.co/RdCNAJDsjh

Isn’t it dangerous, some in the power elite tsk-tsk, to use the term “Epstein class”? No. It’s essential. Some very influential people who just got back from Aspen, probably, would love this to remain a story about one guy and his abuses. It’s bigger. https://t.co/RdCNAJE08P

I wrote about the Epstein class. https://t.co/RdCNAJE08P

The survivors in this case point us toward better ways of relating than the current regime of ignoring the cries of people on the wrong end of power, whether they are being evicted, gouged, foreclosed on, A.I.-obsolesced — or, yes, raped. https://t.co/RdCNAJE08P

Epstein’s reinvention would never have been possible without this often anti-democratic, self-congratulatory elite, which, even when it didn’t traffic people, took the world for a ride. https://t.co/7VEP1470Pd

The financial meltdowns some in the network helped trigger, the misbegotten wars some in the network pushed, the overdose crisis some of them enabled, the monopolies they defended, the inequality they turbocharged, the housing crisis they milked…

At the dark heart of this story is a sex criminal and his victims. But it is also a tale about a powerful social network in which some were perhaps able to look away because they had learned to look away from so much other abuse and suffering. https://t.co/7VEP1470Pd

NEW: I close-read the mountain of Epstein emails and tried to distill what they reveal about how the elite operate. Bottom line: It’s no accident that when he needed friends to rehabilitate him, he chose a power elite practiced at disregarding pain. https://t.co/7VEP1470Pd
