We have to hear the monstrous stories over and over again. And survivors have to lay their trauma bare over and over again to get people to care. To believe them. To act. Another horrific aspect of rape culture.

Springtime was Eric Swallwell and Tony Gonzalez, and Congress seems to have an inexhaustible supply of abusers.

This is another way we live in rape culture; we live in a culture where we have to hear about monstrosity all the time. Sometimes I look at those top stories lists and wonder if I'm the only one who notices that two or three or four of the ten are about violence against women.

Anyone surprised?

Q: Any comment on Rep. Max Miller? TRUMP: I hope he's able to work it out. I feel badly for him.

I guess Max Miller figures that some Ohio voters keep reelecting Jim Jordan so he might as well stay in.

It's demoralizing living in a nonstop Abuse-a-thon: we've had to learn the sordid details of so many men's abhorrent behavior; I mean this summer has been Graham Platner, Andrew Tate, Jared Leto, Max Miller, plus the horrific L.A. rape-murder of the child by the rapper, to name a few lowlights.

Thank you to everyone who voted today. And a special thank you to everyone who volunteered and helped at the polls! 💚

The harsh truth is that excess deaths surged where protection lagged. The virus doesn't negotiate or care what anyone believes. It just exploits bad decisions. It was killing people who thought they were smarter than it. Fauci saved lives. Trump took lives. #Blues #DV1 #ProudBlue #DOOR
