THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE. A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes. Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids. #GOPWarOnHealthcare

Top story: The military says Adrian Martinez took his own life. His family isn't so sure. What's even less clear is whether this Army sexual assault whistleblower's rights were upheld in the days leading up to his death.

Adrian Martinez reported a sexual assault two years before he was found dead on a Hawaii Army base. The Vanessa Guillén Act is supposed to protect soldiers like him.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

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

We simply are not going to get out of this by just winning the next election & going back to governing. We can't keep doing this total failure of elite accountability. We've been doing it since Iran-Contra, & really since 1865. And we keep not fixing our broken anti-democratic institutions. Enough.

The reason not to triangulate against trans people isn't that it's bad politics (although I believe it is) or unnecessary (although I believe it is). It's because YOU MUST NOT ABANDON THE VULNERABLE TO DEPRAVED PEOPLE WHO WILL DO THEM HARM. If we will, what's the point of anything else we do?

He's the sick grandmother no longer getting healthcare. He's the homeless arrested for sleeping outside. We will be judged by him by how we treat them: Matthew 25:31-46. It's a broken Christianity that threatens people with Jesus' return while refusing to recognize him in the faces of those who are suffering.
