I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

Maybe I’m old but I’d expect to be offered coffee at a job interview. Or frankly in any office. Bringing my own coffee would suggest that I don’t believe the place to be capable of basic hospitality. You bring your own coffee to the DMV.

Having worked so hard to deny that “environmental racism” is anything more than a silly cudgel to create white guilt down at the local colleges, Dave finds out that not only is it a real thing but that somehow there’s not enough of it to protect him from data centers! Rough day for Dave.

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.

Perhaps you’ve met my daughter, the political voice of her generation?

This is a photo of today’s Dallas Morning News front page. The hero image, above the fold, is my beautiful daughter Catherine Grinter Krankota, demanding the attention of thousands of people on dais in front of City Hall giving a rally speech against the odious RNC midterm convention. The article title is “Gen Z Finds its Political Voice”

“The issue of men playing in girls sports. That’s a big issue here in Texas” Ma’am no it’s not. Not anywhere. It’s only an issue for creepy men who want to get up in the business of little girls. As a grown up running for Senate, I’m comfortable letting kids and coaches deal with children’s games.

Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

One of the reasons why midterm conventions aren’t a thing is just this. This just looks like the Trump Admin has a touring show. Looks like Meet The Press is doing a Disney on ice special.

Man, all the anti-trans stuff, even if you're transphobic at some point, it's got to be, like... Imagine you're on a plane experiencing severe turbulence and the pilot is on the intercom ranting about anime. Even if you think he has good thoughts on One Piece, you still want him to focus on flying.

“Woke” is about understanding the ways that the system lulls you into accepting as a given that subjugation is normal and white cis/het men are the default setting of the universe. There is NO “Woke 1”. The struggle has never been new.
