Weird that Donald Trump's message is that people who are being assaulted can stop it all by giving up and submitting to the aggressor, so weird, so so weird

I ask again, why are national Dems letting Elon "quietly" fund these races? We have two test cases. 2024 when Dems didn't make his money an issue. And 2025 Wisconsin, where they did. Guess which time they won by double digits?

Elon Musk’s America PAC Is Quietly Funding November’s Most Consequential Elections
America PAC’s approach has been unusual: for every dollar it has spent supporting GOP Senate candidates, it has spent almost three dollars attacking Democrats.

I think what frightens me most is that the sheer volume of things to be horrified by has become its own kind of protection for the people responsible. Nothing has to be explained or resolved becuase a story or a scandal or a tragedy only has to survive until the next thing happens in five minutes.

If you live in the west and have a job and regular income, please consider pledging 5 dollars a month to help 12 families in Gaza survive. It's a direct way to resist genocide and imperialist fascism, to help people stay alive. Do not give in to helplessness when so many need help in our reach.

EXACTLY this. They KNOW what they’re doing. In fact, it is the point. They’re not “dehumanizing” their victim—they recognize her agency and choose to destroy it, and that is exactly what excites them.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

I want you to imagine what navigating life and relationships looks like for a woman who was raped by her literal partner in college. I want you to stop thinking about Jacob. Think about her. What does dating look like for her now? What does trying to go to sleep each night look like now, for her?

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward
