PSA: It's even worse. Craig not only operated a revenge porn website, but he also was engaging in racketeering by secretly running several shell companies that offered a paid service that would remove your revenge porn *from the revenge porn distro sites he owned*.

Does everyone here know that @craigbrittain.com, who is currently masquerading as an anti-MAGA warrior, was fined in 2016 for operating a revenge porn website? A *lot* of y’all follow him. ⚠️ Marked as unsafe. ⚠️ www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

remember how Riley Gaines’ swimming coach raped a bunch of her teammates? then when her career path became TV Nazi she defended him and he claimed he was being targeted for standing up against trans women in sports? anyway she cares deeply about women and girls being safe.

Ecuadorian prosecutor Alexandra Bravo was fatally shot on June 14 by a hitman. Bravo had been investigating U.S. strikes on three Ecuadorian boats in which 36 passengers survived, many of them recounting alleged torture by American gunmen in U.S. military uniforms aboard a U.S.-flagged patrol ship.

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

It's worth pointing out that the West Virginia trans girl at the center of the recent SCOTUS ruling was a MIDDLE SCHOOLER. She's TWELVE.

there literally are no good-faith concerns about trans girls participating in high school sports. it is children playing games with their friends, its about confidence and relationship-building. let kids play with their friends.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

another day on the internet, another day reminded that women are not people, they are toys that can be broken.

“If this was true, I would be in jail” is not a real profession of innocence; it is a brag about how strenuously the state protects the male right of private sphere violence against women and children.

Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 3d ago

Those who believe things like this are working hard at not understanding the finite options available to someone whose abuser has not been prosecuted, found guilty, etc. by the law. And how rarely those things happen to abusers, esp. high-status white male abusers.

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

An abortion opponent wrote online that it was “kill day” at a clinic that provides later abortions. Boulder police showed up, then prayed with the author of the post.

Me, a genius, three weeks ago: let me Log Off so I can avoid Everything. Me, looking at my posts from four weeks ago because they're the most recent thing on my profile: oh, shit. Oh. fuck.

I'm back I suppose. For a little bit, anyways.

Imagine if you allowed yourself to feel the full weight and consequence of every sexual assault you have ever experienced. Imagine what would happen to you if you tried to get them recognized by others as serious and meaningful. Lol. Lmao.

One thing I don’t think men understand is that rape and assault are so ubiquitous—and so perpetually immune from consequence or recognition—that many women learn to talk about these incidents as of they’re mere inconveniences. We are not allowed to treat them with more gravity.

And what I don’t think women understand is that men face so few consequences for rape, and experience their own raping as so smoothly continuous with the rest of their sex lives, that it’s not so much that these guys gamble that they’ll get away with it as that they simply never think of it again.

Most abusers are not abusive all the time. They can be charming and charismatic and can present as devoted, especially when in front of witnesses. Victims often tell ourselves that the caring persona is the *real* person and the abuse is some atypical behavior that will stop if we are loving enough.

Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · 4w ago

There are still tons of people who ask why victims stay in abusive relationships and use that line of thinking to attack and undermine the credibility of victims. The actual mechanism of coercive control is still so misunderstood by the public—a victim staying actually makes perfect sense.

It's tedious to have to litigate every disclosure of sexual violence against a powerful or hell even not-powerful man in terms of "credibility" and "corroboration," when everyone knows that what's at stake is not whether the specific allegation is true but whether it matters.
