THIS. *If* the Democrats win big in this upcoming midterm, for heavens sakes people, it doesn’t mean everything will just magically get fixed. It will be a lot of work. Boring work. Not revenge work. It will take a lot of time. A *lot* of time.

I'm NOT DEFENDING TRUMP, but why are we spreading bad information online and stealing pictures from the Guardian? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Trump has done way too much for us to do stuff online for clout, COME ON.

Trump & ICE have done this to 25,000 people & counting. The government is abducting our neighbors and disappearing them to places with abhorrent human rights records. Often, they’re stranded there without money or identity papers. These aren’t deportations - they’re renditions.

I'm so torn when I see posts like this, because OF COURSE I want this too. But I think it's important, even in our age of scrolling and 30 second reels, that we're accurate about what can and will happen when (not if!) the House and Senate Dems win, so it doesn't set up false expectations.

More Sadie from the day of the actual ceremony, spying on the navy.

I need to distract myself for a second, so I just want all of you to know: The naval officers that were in my courtyard awhile back waved at Sadie during the promotion ceremony, so ever since then, she's waited at the window every morning, hoping they'll come back.

I’m genuinely worried that he weakened her civil case with this statement out of petty fury that he’s rightfully getting heat for not pressing charges against rapists. He clearly isn’t interested in seeing her succeed and he basically called her a liar—a huge gift to the civil defense

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?

Don't assume they'll just be good people without you *intentionally* showing them how to be good. Goodness doesn't happen accidentally, and society is working hard to make sure that they learn all the wrong lessons. TEACH THEM. And I'm going to add on: Teach your girls and nonbinary kids too!

I have a lot to say about the Cornell case, but I'm largely keeping it on the inside, since I'll be honest: I find it triggering. But I have one specific ask: parents, talk to your sons. Talk to them and make sure they understand accountability. Talk to them about consent. Do it now.

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.

One more ask to this, since I'm thinking about it. One thing I really want to encourage ALL of us to do, is to: 1. Yes, talk to your children AND loved ones about this. This is in the news and all over social media. Give them the words. Help them process. 2. But at the same time -

I want to see reporting on this. How many parents are actually doing it? I was a teen in the 90's and I'd be shocked if more than a couple of my male friends ever got this kind of talk from their parents. I certainly didn't. It's wildly irresponsible.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.
