So, back when the DNC was hacked and documents were leaked showing that the DNC had been helping Clinton and kneecapping Sanders, I found it interesting that most of the media focused on “the Russians did it!” rather than on the content of the leak, which was, after all, in the public interest to know.

The same thing is going on with the Texeira documents. WSWS has a particularly good article on this:

A kid texts their mother during a school lockdown.

KID: Mom, a drag queen broke into our school. I love you so much.

MOM: What!? Are you sure it’s real?

KID: Yes, we’re under lockdown now. We barricaded the door and I’m hiding under my desk. Mom, I’m so scared.

MOM: Can you call me? Are you safe?

KID: I can only text. We have to be quiet. They feed off the prepubescent voices of young white boys.

MOM: Okay, honey, stay calm. Remember what you learned in drag lockdown training. It will do whatever it can to lure you with its bronze silicone breasts and brainwash you.

KID: I can hear its stilettos clicking down the hallway. I think it’s close to our classroom…

MOM: Stay completely still, honey. Breathe. Cover your genitals.

KID: There are so many sequins! I can see them reflecting onto the walls.
