Shitlib Dems being shitlib Dems. Zero introspection on ANYTHING they've done to alienate Orogressives, from "reaching across the aisle" (to a party which only views this as proof of Dems' weakness & of GOP strength) to unconditional support for psychopaths in Israel to breaking campaign promises...

@bombscare.bsky.social replied to one of my posts with a dubious comment. Scrolling down its profile, I find that it's aggressively wrong on many issues: racism, feminism, Jason Arday, Trans Rights... & this eugenics doozy, implying that Jews are more intelligent than the rest of us. BLOCKED!
Bomb scare posted 
Ashkenazi Jews are like .1% of the worlds population and yet have won 20% of Nobel Prizes. I don’t doubt that culture plays a very important role in that, but it seems likely that genetics does too.

TY, @jesspected.bsky.social, for bringing the Daisy Coleman story to my attention! bsky.app/profile/jess... Also 2012: 15yo Audrie Pott hanged herself 8 days after being raped & cyberbullied. HuffPost named Coleman in "13 Most Fearless Teens of 2013". It didn't keep her from suicide 7 years later.
Poster of the documentary "Audrie & Daisy”, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2016.

The poster features  the line SHAME IS TRENDING & the hashtag #EVERYONEKNOWS

The 2-tone photo shows an adolescent girl sitting on the ground and hugging her knees in a school hall while other students mill around her at a certain distance.

Do their stories presage that of Michael Tracey and the Cornell 7 ?

Michael Tracey is also on bsky as @m-tracey (.bsky.social), doing the same thing, and boasting that he only gets 20% less negative response on X than here. Do NOT reply to him. Do NOT quote-repost him. Do NOT @tag him (I deactivated that tag & blocked). 💩💩💩 like him THRIVE on [negative] attention.
2012: 14-year-old Daisy Coleman was raped. Her family had to move to another town due to bullying after she was doxxed.

The house was later burnt down.
Daisy became an advocate for rape victims. 
2020: Daisy (then 23) & her mother Melinda committed suicide.

Does Michael Tracey want to name and shame the Cornell 7's victim into suicide?

Michael Tracey argues that "naming and shaming" the Cornell 7, [alleged] perpetrators of gang rape - NECESSARY in bringing a civil suit against them - should be countered by naming and shaming the woman whom they [allegedly] kept prisoner and raped for 7 hours while she was drugged. EVIL SCUMBAG!
Photo of Daisy Coleman and her mother Melinda at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on Jan. 25, 2016, where the documentary "Audrie and Daisy" was being shown.

They burned down her house her family had been driven out of because a 14yo reported being raped. This is what men like Michael Tracey hope to accomplish by doxxing Jane Doe.

REMINDER: Since 1973, Democrats have had TEN YEARS of trifecta (control of White House + both chambers of Congress), in which they did NOTHING to restore health insurance companies to non-profit status. And "Obamacare" gave health insurance sharks even bigger profits. Democrats are also complicit!

"Every single day this year, a U.S. law enforcement officer [...] has been arrested for sex crimes." Almost none spend a day in prison. Many attack women who have called the police for help. One of the Cornell 7 has become a cop. Johnathan Newell - who posted "free pussy" - wants to be a doctor.
