'night, Mongo

More than one thing can be true at the same time.
Could it have been done sooner? Oh, absolutely.
Not absolving anyone, mind you.
At least it Did come forward. Something happened about it
More than we can say for the international sex-trafficking ring just blithely sauntering along

Possible
I'm not going to go there atm.
When/if that comes to light, any enablers are also subject to scrutiny.
It's pretty interesting how well some of these people hide, and I don't mean that in a good way.

Yes, unfortunately...outside entities including, but not limited to the wronged, have to become their own detectives, advocates, and pursue justice in whatever way they can.
I do very much appreciate private firms.
We can certainly do better as a whole, tho.

Burden of proof is on the accuser. Without concrete evidence, it's he said/she said.
It gets taken far more seriously when there is a pattern and that means some One Brave usually has to speak up first.
Or someone puts them all together & says "See! You are not alone!"

ikr?! It's always the same.
"What were you wearing?"
"She's no nun!"
*tsk*

Because the burden of proof is on the accuser. It's built into the system

I agree! If I could vote in CA still (I cannot), Becerra would have my backing. And does.
But I also see JB Pritzker and Mamdani, so if push comes to shove against two (R), and Steyer is a contender, better believe I am going to get behind him

My 2 rescue dogs are elderly and neither of them are 'well'.
When the time comes, and it will ..
Any of you mf'rs whine about having to see it gonna get blocked so fast I'm gonna get finger burn
Scroll by.
Your callousness is showing and 🖕in advance

You know what would be really nice?
The second men start calling out other men so we don't have to live all this.
It would mean less women living through this and also doing all the work. As usual.
That would be nice.

Absolutely not gonna hold my breath on an apology.
When the trial(s) start, though. I may reference this again.
Why is it OK for men to violate and not OK for women to not have their guard up 24/7/365?
Are we not allowed to just BE?!
Don't answer that

Rural S MN is deep red, or was. Walz went and proved that not to be the case.
I have 💙 family in OK, would be a crying shame to dismiss them out of hand.
Waves don't start with a magnificent crest, they begin in a trough, w/ momentum.
I'm not abandoning my people, why would you?
*tsk*

These things really do need to be told, painful as it may be. My condolences to you, and anyone that has had to be even a little bit a part of these things.
🫂
And especially to those closest or directly involved.
Nightmare material

Appreciate you.
It was a long time ago, but experiences like that are not something that just fade, and they shouldn't.

Appreciate you.

😍

Walz won MN by delivering to S rural. Hungary just flipped huge b/c they concentrated on rural concerns. Syria just...although maybe not a great ex. only time will tell.
I dunno. Tossing off whole communities seems self-defeating.

I Love this analogy! Surfing isn't done at the top of the breaking wave, it is done on the face and in the curl and using the energy to propel through the trough.
Excellent! 👏👏👏

Ranked choice is awesome. Some States have been doing this for years. And that's partly why ours doesn't have just a 2-party system. Lots of Independents, etc.
It's still majority 2-party (largely Dem), but nonetheless a good variety of voices

Oh, also get rid of Citizens United.
What a stupid thing

Yep. That's my issue with populist voting. Literally doing an Idiocracy maneuver.
The EC needs reform, though. Just like SCOTUS with circuit courts, it hasn't kept up with growing shifts in population, demographics, etc.
We need 13 SCOTUS and they shouldn't be appointed by whatever current Prez.
2¢

You said that, not me! 🤣
Don't tell them they are worshipping the anti-christ, they really don't like it when you say it aloud.

Hi. I would very much like to add baby armadillos bathing to my 'possum every hour, bat accounts and explore. org follows. Please direct me , mahalo in advance

That top step is a whole lot of different depending on who you talk to.
It changes all the time, too.
My top step was once graduating from college w/o debt. Sometimes after it has simply been rent & eating food at the same time.
Everyone deserves the chance to strive for that top step.
Make it so

Anyone brave enough to tell their story deserves recognition.
Elevating Soweto is not a bad thing, thank you for doing that. I mean that w/ all respect.
There are horrors amongst us everywhere and their stories all deserve to be told.

No. Sorry. All out.
May I suggest The Joy of Painting w/ Bob Ross?
You'll either stay up all night or knocks you right out without the headache

🤣 KKKaroLyin' Leavitt? Yep.
Quick profile check 🤷
Sometimes I don't word so good either
🙃

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
😱

That's a...take. I guess?
Having a platform to bring difficult situations into the public eye is a privilege, I'll give you that one.
Would you rather people just not say anything at all?
I'm not seeing the "get over it" part, is it b/c she overcame?
Please elaborate
