If you watched the U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi contemptuously deflect questions about the Epstein files in a recent hearing, you might have had a strong reaction to it in your nervous system.
That’s what I had – for two scary reasons, one of which can be explained by political science.
In case you’ve missed it, Pam Bondi, the U.S. Attorney General (that is, the Executive branch), was being questioned by the House Judicial Committee (that is, the Legislative branch) about the Department of Justice’s conduct regarding the Epstein files.
Here’s an excerpt from the hearing that stuck with me and that I refer to in my video, which is just below this one.
In my video, I also mention an article I wrote several years ago. You can find it here.
And now, my simple analysis, including one of the things that political science could say about Pam Bondi’s behaviour.
To hear a therapist’s take on how Bondi’s behaviour caters to fascism, watch this video, and follow a brilliant account that produced it.

It is not only the violence by the ones in power that the Epstein files resemble Israel’s destruction of Gaza – it’s about the (potential) collective amnesia, too.
How Fascist Regimes See Growing up, Standing up for People, and Writing Poems as Threats
Hind Rajab was killed by Israeli forces two years ago today – and that is one of the threads of history that I talk about in my essay-like video. It’s about fascism, its victims, the heaviness of witnessing these horrors, and how we can move forward.
On U.S. State Violence: A Continuation, Not a Rupture
The recent murder of Alex Pretti by ICE agents is one painfully clear indication – or, rather, a reminder – that in the U.S, the violence abroad has come back as fascism at home.
