But what’s most exciting to me about this endorsement is that it may signal the start of a new anti-corruption coalition. Boylan really did take on a machine when she stood up to Cuomo—the leaders of Times Up helped coordinate an illegal retaliation campaign against her! Now there’s a rival faction.
Right wing men desire a world ruled by hierarchy and domination, and the way they treat women and girls is an extension of that principle.
Left wing men desire a world ruled by equality and dignity, and the way they treat women and girls is an exception to that principle.
This is gender.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
TENURED YALE PROFESSOR IN AN OP-ED: In our society we have too often accepted the heckler’s veto, allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good and making the refusal to forgive our highest virtue

What happens when a Supreme Court decision catapults high school girls to the center of a debate about their rights as women in America?
@shimaoliaee.bsky.social takes us behind the scenes as girls choose: Speak up about their beliefs or stay quiet.
Thank you Lynn! Just seeing this. Sending so much love!
OMG, my pal Shima's shimaoliaee.bsky.social new podcast dropped this morning! If you luved Dolly, listen to "The Competition," where Shima gave the mic to teen girls competing for the Distinguished Young Women Program. Listen to all those voices!

Eight hours work, eight hours rest, eight hours for what you will. Happy May Day.
Judge Hannah Dugan, the Wisconsin judge who was arrested on Friday morning on charges of obstructing immigration enforcement, spent most of her legal career working on behalf of low-income people and marginalized groups. Here's what to know.
these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism
We decided to watch “School of Rock” last night because it has “Minecraft Steve in it” (I know…It is what it is) and I decided to google a bit and, yall, the little singer girl just got married to the big security guard boy /in real life/. She’s a OBGYN sonographer and he’s a music industry lawyer.
“I have spent my life making government work and getting results for people,” Andrew Cuomo says, listing his experience, including 11 years as governor. A woman yells out, “you resigned in disgrace!”

This is in Mississippi—the state with the largest Black population by percent.
Nearly 4-in-10 Mississippians are Black. Yet we have "Confederate Heritage Month" and "Confederate Memorial Day."
Oh, and our 8 statewide elected state officials look like this.
I do keep thinking about how all the people who took to the pages of Harpers or the NYTimes to talk about how I was a threat to men's due process rights for inviting women to talk to each other are perfectly okay with men being kidnapped without charge and disappeared to foreign concentration camps.
Cycle of power and control dynamics, break the cycle.
Classic abuser move: create a crisis and then position yourself as its solution. After the abuser “solves” the crisis, he will expect gratitude and adoration.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
This has been empirically demonstrated many times! You can’t expect men to have a place of domination and superiority over women in the home and treat women as equals outside of it.

Everyone needs to understand what Elon and DOGE are building, an AI driven panopticon that will know everything about you and will be used to ensure compliance with their fascist agenda. They are creating a unified database of everything the federal government has on every single American.

SCOOP: DOGE notified the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS) today that the entire staff is being put on administrative leave effective immediately, I’ve learned from an agency source.
They’ll be cancelling huge swaths of grants/contracts and starting a Reduction in Force (RIF).
NEW: The move to funnel $15 million for sexual assault survivors through a GOP-controlled commission is part of a pattern by the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature and judiciary to deprive elected Democrats of resources and powers.

The El Salvador government is using its concentration camp as a kind of Disneyland thrill ride for right-wing influencers. The reason those guys are standing silently shirtless behind Noem is that they’ve been asked to do it again and again, it’s part of the whole ride
On a meta-level, one of the many horrifying things about this story is that the Atlantic had no reasonable option other than to release the Signal messages at this point.
They should have been able to go to the Inspector General! Or the FBI! Or Congress!
