So... instead of funneling money into billionaires pockets we're going to start funneling it into education?

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

Here’s one video shared with us of the state-ordered execution. The man was beaten in the head with a gun, shot once, then shot five more times while on the ground. State-ordered executions continue.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Understanding these forces is crucial for creating a society where survivors can be heard without automatic backlash.
000
Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
Why This Matters These biases create environments where: *victims fear coming forward *predators are protected *public perception often contradicts legal or factual outcomes *accusations are treated as political rather than personal
100
Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
9. Psychological Defense Against Fear Believing accusers forces people to accept that: *sexual violence is common *someone they respect might be capable of it *the world is not safe To avoid this frightening reality, some people unconsciously prefer to deny the accusation.
100
Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
8. Media Framing Coverage often: *lists the accused’s accomplishments *shows flattering photos of him *scrutinizes the accuser *highlights minor inconsistencies *emphasizes “alleged,” suggesting uncertainty even when evidence is strong This subtly shifts sympathy toward the accused.
100
Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
7. Parasocial Relationships With Celebrities If the accused is a celebrity, politician, influencer, etc., people can feel: *they “know” him *loyal to him *emotionally invested in him The accuser has no such relationship with the public, which creates an automatic imbalance.
100
Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
6. Misogyny and Gender Power Dynamics Research consistently finds: *women who report sexual violence are scrutinized more harshly *male-on-female accusations trigger especially strong backlash *people tend to protect male reputations over female safety This is a structural, not individual, bias.
100
Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
5. Fear of Consequences Some people react as if the accused is most at risk, often expressing sentiments like: “I’d hate to have my life ruined by an accusation.” Consequences for sexual misconduct have historically been minimal for perpetrators, this reaction is rooted more in fear than fact.
100
Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
4. Common Myths “False accusations are common.” (They are rare - estimated 2–8% in studies.) “Real victims report immediately” (Most don’t.) “If there’s no physical injury, it wasn’t real.” (Most assaults do not involve obvious injury.) These beliefs make people less likely to side with accusers.
100
Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
“She must be exaggerating.” “She must have done something.” “Why didn’t she leave?” “Why didn’t she report it earlier?” This bias shifts blame from the perpetrator onto the victim.
100
Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
3. “Just World” Bias Many people hold an unconscious belief that: *“The world is fair; bad things happen only to people who deserve them.” So when someone alleges sexual violence, a just-world thinker may—without realizing it—start assuming:
100
Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
2. Status Protects Perception High-status people are often assumed to be: *credible *competent *trustworthy This is called the halo effect. Accusers, especially if not famous, do not get the same automatic benefit of the doubt.
100
Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
People experience psychological discomfort when hearing they may have done something terrible. The brain often resolves this discomfort by: *doubting the accuser *defending or rationalizing the accused *minimizing the allegations This is called cognitive dissonance reduction.

Momertha (Mo) @momertha.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
Why Sympathy Often Goes Toward the Accused Instead of the Accuser 1. Cognitive Dissonance When the Accused Is Powerful or Familiar If the accused is: * famous *admired *politically aligned *part of someone’s “in-group”

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Happy 250th Birthday to OUR Army. These are the kinds of memories I’ll always cherish, celebrating the cutting of the Army’s birthday cake together with the youngest soldier in the unit. Celebrating true service, our values and the legacy of our force. This is who & what our army is!

Everything that is wrong with the GOP can be explained in these 4 charts The principles of Abuse The failures of racism The Special Snowflake chart The Virtue/Abuse Quadrant chart redloraine.wixsite.com/website/post...
A chart of an asshole - each pucker of the rose represents another spoke on the wheel of abuse - it includes things like abuse, exploitation, transphobia, misogyny, sexual assaultn	The inability to tolerate discomfort
n	No self awareness
n	A lack of a strong internal sense of self that isn’t rooted in hate
n	Which creates a lack of selfactualization outside of racist tropes

n	Not being able to selfsoothe
n	An inability to sort out general information using a basic logic familiarity
n	No distinction between external fears & internal biases
n	A difficulty in changing perspective which translates into being trapped

n	Which all creates 
a self identify rooted in the persecution 
of others
n	Internally understanding 
these actions as wrong means that they will always doubledown because to do otherwise 
would dismantle 
their entire self

Repeating this process is unsustainable. 
Come away from racism. Work on all of these faults
within yourself. Learn how to change your brain.1. Always distort the truth to make you seem favorable and frame the target of abuse as unfavorable.
2. Always misrepresent your motives to be beneficial while hiding the principles of abuse that are being used in whatever action is taken.
3. Frame any call to responsibility or consequences as invalid, and deny, deflect, distract, and attack the source of those calls.
4. Always promise what the targets of manipulation want, frame what you are doing as delivering what they ask for, and then do whatever you want anyway.
5. Undermine any circumstances that stand in your way for example if a wilderness area you want to exploit is pristine, get in and make an oil spill then there is nothing left to protect; or if you want to destroy public education install an abuser, destroy the agency, point at it as a failure of government and then implement your private education plan for profit.
6. Isolate the targets of abuse by dismantling support systems, cutting off access to resources, and opposing anything that could bolster the targets of abuse.
7. Always take the best and leave the least possible for the targets of abuse such as funneling PPE dollars to military contractors while heath care workers use trash bags for protection.
8. Always use unfavorable circumstances to your advantage and if possible, turn circumstances against the targets of abuse such as allowing COVID to ravage blue states while funneling dollars to red states.
9. Always blame the victim for anything bad that happens to them or anything that you do to them.
10. Always pretend to be the victim in any situation, co-opt any symbols or methods your targets use for selfdefense.
11. Never allow scrutiny of your actions and always reject any investigations.
12. Use high control, propaganda, fear, threats, and manipulation to manage the victims of abuse.
13. Never admit to any wrong.
14. Whatever you want to do is the only thing that is important and any suffering you cause along the way is inconsequential or ev…A quadrant chart is a type of data visualization that divides a scatter plot into four quadrants, often used to identify trends, patterns, and relationships between two variables. 
THIS chart drafts the intersections of virtue and abuse - showing the most and least of each. The republican government exists in the most abuse and least virtue of the chart

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.
