And who are you, not the victim of his rape, to declare what would be restorative and how it's carceral for him to suffer consequences?

The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to ‘get out of America’ while he & Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build. Imagine standing on the shoulders of the ppl who built this country & then telling their descendants they don’t belong here/2

What about her future? What about how hard she worked to be there? What is to become of her life now? What process of justice could possibly right these wrongs? And how much more will she lose in the process of trying to get it? How much more of this are we all supposed to tolerate?

This is always how it goes. The accused are allowed to ruthlessly and relentlessly smear the victims while engaging in a supposedly fair and just legal process that retraumatizes and creates fresh trauma for victims who are already supposed life altering, sometimes permanent consequences of rape

So if I ever speak with such gross imprecision as to say, "Men rape and men need to fix that shit" & you feel tempted to reply, "But surely not ALL men!" Please be aware that I have noted you're more worried about rhetoric than women, about internet words than gang rapes. And then think on that.

You are demanding that women watch what we say and watch what we do bc it is more important to you that when women ask for rape to end they do so in the politest way possible than it is important to you that men stop raping at the earliest date possible.

And men, yes, including men who don't rape, have spent hundreds of years creating and maintaining the social, legal, and institutional structures which limit women's lives. Men -- ALL MEN -- have to spend time dismantling it.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Vought is breaking the law but he is not “going rogue.” At his confirmation hearings, Vought told Republicans he would do this and they voted for him anyway. If they want to stop him, they still can via impeachment. They won’t.

That's just fraud, my dude. Even if you use an AI agent. It's just fucking fraud.
Nikita Bier: Hello computer,

Find every Amazon purchase I ever made. 
Call the number of the manufacturer. 
Say you’re not satisfied.
Request a refund. 
If they decline, threaten to leave a bad review.
If they decline, find the CEO’s phone number and ask him for a refund.

Now, repeat the same process for items I never even purchased and see if you can get  them to send me money.

If they ask for a recipient, generate an image of one and send that.

Do not stop until you’ve collected $1 million in refunds.

Hi, poor person here. this is an incorrect trope often used by the upper classes. both political parties cater to the very rich who have oddball priorities often driven by esoteric moral values. the poor are never given an option to vote for any of their own interests at all. thanks for reading.

People vastly underestimate how much has changed in America in a decade and because there has been ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY for any of it, we should expect the billionaire class to continue to plunder with impunity well beyond Trump. They may not develop a cultish base like MAGA— but they don’t need to.

It frustrates me that we talk about AI weirdos demanding some regulation while fighting others like its some contradiction. They want laws against stuff they are not doing, and cannot do, and don't want laws against the stuff they are doing. Its sleight-of-hand, not hypocrisy.
