Please remember that any time the justification is “to protect women and girls” it’s almost always covering an attempt to limit the rights and freedom of women and girls.

Cornell case is enough to break you but the constant drum of stories like this is heart breaking. Men, are we not disgusted at the world we created? The rapist we put in the white house? The excuses we make for other men? Our daily callousness? When the fuck are we going to say enough is enough?

Realizing you don't have to live a trapped life with people who don't love or respect you is apparently considered a "social contagion."

Republicans in power have set up such a cushy life for themselves and their friends that the real world doesn't affect them, so they treat everything like an idle game, and that's how it's covered by a lot of the media. People live and die based on these issues, but they could not care less.

Why would Trump think he's a dictator without any limits, except for the courts, Congress, voters, and the press have told him as such.

Oh how I wish Democrats would've actually strangled the oil industry, but unfortunately Chris is a lying liar who lies.

To be successful pull yourself up by your bootstraps, be born to a wealthy & corrupt family who racisms their way into the white house, forms an insurgency when they lose, somehow racism back into office, & siphon billions from the treasury while congress looks the other way. It's called work ethic.

Thousands of dedicated professionals worked tirelessly to solve that problem. It's like when people say "what about the "hole in the ozone panic?" PEOPLE FIXED IT! Republicans have no idea how anything works and strongly don't want to know.

ocean forever problems for now

View over the ocean at dusk. Cliffs are along the left side, with a a semi-circular jetty jutting out, protecting a small beach. There's a band of orange glow along the horizon, with the sky then quickly fading to dark blue. The last light reflects on the ocean surface, with a small rock outcropping in the lower right, barely above the water line.

View over the ocean at dusk, band of orange over the horizon, cliffs on the left side, jutting out a bit to form a cove. There is a surf line that is beginning to crash into the rocks at the far end of the cove. Last light is reflecting off the water.

It runs back much longer but there's such a strong & direct line between Palin popularizing "Real Americans" & modern day conservative fantasy of annihilating blue cities & killing liberals. These people are the biggest traitors in American history & it's been their stated position for 20+ years.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

Took a (very) rainy walk through the Loop tonight. I was absolutely soaked, but my camera stayed dry enough.

A lot of straight white cis men apparently need to hear this from one of their own: the point of being an ally is not to get a trophy for being a good ally. Our role is to listen, learn, grow, and shut the fuck up outside of providing full-throated support any way we can.

The thing about Republicans is they have no interest in governing, or helping people. That's a complete anathema to their whole shtick. So their focus is on being petulant assholes in every interaction. So it's extra funny that they're so bad at it.
