"We ask women why they don't come forward when sexually assaulted. It's because we live in a world where an abuser can become president.
Disgusting. Trump says he feels bad for the seven Cornell students accused of rape, and his biggest worry is that they "won't get a fair shake" with Letitia James as special prosecutor.

If Dems take Senate (big if), don't be surprised if Alito & Thomas resign, and GOP shoves through 2 young right wing SCOTUS justices before Dems take over in January. Wouldn't be surprised if this plan is ready to roll, with nominees already picked.

Wonder what GOP harping on communism is about? Every election they find an issue most people don’t care about, but moves the electorate a couple of percentage points (2024 – Transgender; 2004 – Gay Marriage, etc.) which is all you need to win elections. I worry it’s going to work once again.

To all Dems complaining about Abdul El-Sayed as US Senate candidate in Michigan, if you want to win in November: shut your pie holes! The future of our country depends on Dems taking back Congress. Every Dem nominee needs either full throttle support or stay silent. Don't do the GOP's work for them.

One of the saddest things about Lindsey Graham was that he was the result of a homophobic culture that forced him to hide his true self, and as a result he became a lonely self-loathing person who would do anything to avoid being outed.

So, the thing about ableist language—and slurs in general—is not that it hurts people's feelings. It can do that, sure, and that's bad, but the issue with ableist language—and slurs in general—is about that language's role in a system of oppression. It's about what using that language does.
