The supposedly sacred #tradition has become the #marketplace, and what it dismisses as casual is the thing that resists being bought. We cannot manufacture the intrinsic experience of affection or offer it on demand. So we get artificial flowers instead.

Consent is the sieve, and the community is what shakes it. There are predators in those communities too. The difference is that this mechanism exists openly, is named, and carries consequences.

Conservative tradition admits two positions: married, or degraded. A third it cannot accommodate: people sexually alive, honest, generous, beyond the pale of its limitations.

CNN has exposed the existence of what they describe as a massive online “rape academy”, where men gather to celebrate the drugging, recording, and sexual assault of their wives and partners for the pleasure of other similarly depraved men...

Standing behind him is the whole Epstein class. They will always back him and any billionaire who is not working to bring him down raises uncomfortable questions?
15 dead 🇺🇸
≈ 500 wounded 🇺🇸
And we’re not even back to where we started
And our evil dictator wants credit for ending the war he started without our permission when it’s not even over
It’s stupifying
It’s absurd
It’s a tragedy and a national embarrassment
It ought to be his final transgression
Is it because we're credulous, and vulgar provincials? It was my first guess.
John Eastman was disbarred this week by the state of CA. He’ll appeal, but he’ll lose. Let this be a warning to every other toadie helping the Trump admin. He can pardon you for federal charges, but he can’t pardon you for state charges, reverse your disbarment, or interfere if we impeach you.
Trump's cloaca.
You're talking social democracy of Norway, Canada Etc, NOT the Soviet Union, China or Cuba.
Why? We could talk about corporations maximizing profit at the expense of human lives like medical insurance. Or we could talk about the Epstein class that stands firmly behind Trump but are unnamed.
We Deserve Better Than This….

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.
DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.
My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.
DOJ is now 0-5.
My firm is 5-0.
Lesson: When we fight we win.
Ummm, THAT'S A HUGE RED FLAG❗️🚩
Don't anyone date that mother phucker.
The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.
Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.
Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

I just want to own a bookstore in which indie authors have priority and successful, prolific, influential authors come in to shine a light on their work. And when those authors become prolific they come in to hold a light for the next indie authors. Is that such a big ask?
"They’ve positioned themselves between people and their own bodies, claiming power to “legitimize” what needs no legitimacy: our own intrinsic drives. Persecution has existed for both adult sexual minorities and political ideas, because both threaten systems that require control..."
Society encourages what it rewards, and it is horrifying to consider that a rapist was rewarded with wealth and the power to wage war on a whim.
How many women have died needlessly in pregnancy crises since Trump's Court overturned Roe?
All the hiddenness of the Epstein class speaks for itself
Why do we have lawmakers in Congress who are willing to hold fellow members of Congress accountable for sexual assault but not a President?

"Here in California, we may face two Trump supporters in the gubernatorial race with not a single Democratic contender on the ballot. People are throwing their support behind Democrats who cannot possibly win..."

In Congress, I didn’t put up with BS.
As Governor, I will be just as relentless: defending our healthcare, our environment, and our democracy against federal overreach while building a California where families—not special interests—come first.
