Once again pointing out that you don't actually have to like a victim to denounce sexual abuse. The idea that women must be likable has cost women promotions, the presidency, & accountability for abuse. If you only believe victims & denounce abuse if you like them, you endorse sexual abuse as a tool

The Republicans no longer have to do anything to get the vote. After Trump hurt them the first time, 80% of Kansas farmers voted for him again anyway. Now facing bankruptcy, some say changing your vote is like changing your religion. Enjoy the poor house, MAGA voters www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/u...

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried. It’s. All. Lies. All the time.
Americans have been duped. Every other advanced country has universal healthcare, universal education, paid family leave, paid maternity leave, at least 6 weeks paid vacation, living wages, and a commitment to green energy. That’s how you make America great.

27 people — including a priest, professor and health workers — were arrested today under terrorism laws. Their crime? Peacefully holding signs opposing genocide. This is how we sleepwalk into fascism.

USAID now stands for Unleashing Subsidies for the Affluent In Disguise. Trump’s loading up the aid truck—with sacks of gold for billionaires. No food. No meds. Just tax breaks for those choking on caviar. Humanitarianism is dead. Long live the donor class. #USAID
