As we dug into a little-known church, we started to see a pattern: women describing similar abuse; a preacher who knew what was going on. And the same prescription for the problem: forgiving and forgetting it happened. Listen to this episode of "Paper Trail":
The Church That Told Sexually Abused Children to “Forgive and Forget”
A man was convicted of abusing young girls in his church. Preachers had known the allegations for years. So why didn’t they report him to the police?

I love this!! Stop-motion #photography is time-consuming and creative!!
Digital Brain@yourdigitalbrain.bsky.social · 3w agoThis stop motion nightmare shows a monster sofa devouring its victim, one frame at a time. Pure practical horror.
Republicans are right. Dr. Fauci shouldn’t have suggested we inject bleach to kill COVID or compared wearing a mask to a “face diaper” or downplayed the virus as “the flu” when he knew it wasn’t. Oh wait, that was Donald Trump.
Rand Paul is a fraud. He founded his own ophthalmology certification board, the National Board of Ophthalmology (NBO), with his wife and father-in-law as officers. His “board” isn’t recognized by the major specialty board organization or accepted by most hospitals.
Give the good doctor a follow. He’s quite the infectious disease expert!!

A pigeon built a nest for her kitty friend when the cat became pregnant. This unusual act of interspecies care highlights the remarkable capacity for empathy and connection that can exist between different animals. 😍❤️❤️🐈🐦⬛

Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social · last mo.Daniel Siad, modeling scout for Jeffrey Epstein for several years, found dead in Paris. Siad was under investigation by French authorities for his role in allegedly facilitating Epstein’s sex trafficking ring and for claims that he, himself, had committed sexual assault. youtu.be/doEx9cn3stE?...
In a long list of ways in which my former colleague has demeaned the DOJ, this stands at the top.
The Contrarian@contrariannews.org · last mo.Blanche continues to treat Epstein survivors as a political nuisance, rather than crime victims deserving of respect and dignity. @mimirocah1.bsky.social shares more:
It's been six years since the passing of John Lewis, an honorable man who never shied away from opportunities to get in "good trouble, necessary trouble". May he be in our hearts as we continue his legacy of making some noise and getting in good trouble. #GoodTrouble #Pinks #ProudBlue
Surprised 😳? Not me. Lots of ppl who wear badges have histories of interpersonal and other violence.
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · last mo.The ex wife of the killer ICE agent in MAINE says he threatened her with a gun, threw their 13yo daughter threw a glass table, and played NPR a recording of him saying she should have her throat cut. ICE gave him a badge and a gun. Abolish ICE. www.npr.org/2026/07/17/n...
Thoughtful piece. The mental health excuse for violent behavior behind closed doors shouldn’t get anyone a “pass.”
Chloe Lee MD, MPH@chloenazra.bsky.social · last mo.On Graham Platner’s PTSD, mental illness, & abuse. Does he keep it together publicly, while violating her behind closed doors? If so, it's not a mental illness. It's a choice. My latest for @medpagetoday.com #medsky #grahamplatner #Maine www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...
Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man to understand. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-kn...
Lindsey knew better. He chose worse.
Lindsey Graham was a lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention.
