It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.
No thank you very much
He will just sit there glowering like the mafioso he is. We surely do live in this stupidest timeline ever.
So the language you use doesn't matter, eh? I wonder just how happy musk and his racist buddy trump would be if a prominent American leader posted significant news only in Spanish or Navajo.

It's 25th Amendment time for the demented man in the White House.

Make that billions.
It is utterly beyond belief that Idaho voted to JAIL PEOPLE FOR FIVE YEARS for using a bathroom. As a cis woman, I've used a men's room hundreds of times. (Women's room is being cleaned, too crowded, inaccessible, broken...) What is someone who doesn't "look like they belong" SUPPOSED to do??
Trump: "The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!"
Oh, so dissemination of false information is treason, you say? OK, let's run with that.
Yes indeedy doo!!
Rich Logis's short memoir, Leaving MAGA, is a fascinating read. Rich is a smart guy who had good reasons for distrusting the traditional political establishment - but now understands that the trump/maga narrative was false and a trap. Now he's helping others find their way out. @leavingmaga.org
This is how you write a goddamn headline.
Remember how Trump and MAGA blamed Biden constantly for a "botched" Afghanistan withdrawal (largely caused by Trump's lack of planning)? That was nothing compared to the complete and utter lack of preparation by the Trump administration for withdrawing US personnel and citizens from Iran.
What's even more disgusting is the maga voters and Republican politicians who aren't malignant narcissists and don't have dementia but read that & think it's perfectly fine (or if they secretly think it's not perfectly fine, they're still willing to say that the emperor's clothes are just beautiful)
Also as far as yesterday goes it seems like maybe we don't need to invade Iran after all?
...and apparently, that was such a controversial thing to say that he had to be kicked out of the room and the GOP wants to censure him... so in other words, they think that black people *ARE* apes?!?
I am a cisgender woman. I can't count the number of times that I've used a men's bathroom (because the women's bathroom was too crowded, the women's bathroom was out of order, the women's bathroom was closed for cleaning...)
In over 20 states, that's illegal & in some states, I could be arrested.
🤞🤞🤞

I feel like we have not been hearing nearly enough about the degree to which trump's budget cuts and grant cancellations have derailed scientific research in the US.
Searing testimony from former ICE training officer Ryan Schwenk - who resigned from ICE in order to testify before Congress. An American hero.
Lots of great points here. The US (or the trump administration & Republicans in Congress) somehow thinks it can run around the world bombing and killing countries and people, but would be shocked, shocked!! if somebody else did that to us. (In fact, we would call them war criminals and terrorists.)
This is seriously ignorant. Are you saying we can't elect a person who is religious? (And BTW Jasmine Crockett talks A LOT about her faith and her childhood as a daughter of a preacher.)
They all think that MAGA will be in power forever, and that Trump will pardon them all in advance anyway
It do surely get ICEy in hell... fb.watch/FqGZm-RsPL/?...
"80% of voters want the SAVE Act." No, 80% of voters support normal ID requirements, not the ridiculously restrictive ID requirements in the SAVE Act.
Actually, 80% of supporters of the SAVE Act on social media are probably Russian and Chinese bots who already can't vote in the US.
@staceyabrams.com is so wonderful. Here she lays out with crystal clarity why SAVE and other restrictive voter ID laws are pernicious. NOBODY objects to requiring an ID to vote -- suppression arises with *restrictive* ID or other requirements that prevent large numbers of citizens from voting.
I dunno, what if Crockett wins and turns into Nicki Minaj? 😜
Don't forget "grift and pocket lining for contractors"
So quaint
