The man who took out full page ads demanding the death penalty for five Black and Latino teenagers falsely accused of rape is out here worried that the seven majority white Cornell frat boys accused of rape "won't get a fair shake".

Renée Good was killed in broad daylight for doing nothing, and her killer is allegedly still on our streets. @repilhan.bsky.social is right: this administration is blaming victims for their own deaths and letting their killers off easy. We must hold them accountable.

It appears that the National Guard shot and killed an unarmed man (in the back). www.bbc.com/news/article...

Autopsy shows National Guard fatally shot Memphis man in the back
The report conflicts with the authorities’ initial account, which said Tyrin Johnson had been shot in the chest.

We’re living through a time when far too many men — including privileged young men at a frat house in an Ivy League university — feel impunity when it comes to attacking women. I don’t think it unrelated to the impunity felt by the man now occupying the highest office in the land.

A female student was drugged and raped by seven men at Cornell responding to a message about 'free p*ssy' and the President of the United States sympathizes with the seven rapists.

So does the GOP force all of its candidates to prove they’ve physically and/or sexually assaulted a woman before they can run as a Republican? Sorta like a gang initiation?

There are a lot of Trump officials who need to be impeached, but Russell Vought -- the quarterback of all the Project 2025 fuckery and a central player in the administration's overreach -- really needs to be at the top of the list.

Trump is planning to host a third gala for the top investors of his $TRUMP crypto coin. He and his family have raked in $2.2 billion from their crypto ventures, while their investors have lost almost the same amount. They’ll fleece anyone they can — even their own supporters.

What's more worrisome? The fact that Trump's inability to stay awake in meetings may be a sign of neurological decline or the fact that his public nodding off is triggered by his complete disinterest in listening to any voice other than his own?

Yesterday, Pete Hegseth gave an unhinged State Of The Force speech at Quantico. He called service members slurs, bragged about testosterone tests, and attacked the media for "Trump Derangement Syndrome." One thing is clear: Hegseth is more focused on winning culture wars than real ones.

For 50 years, the Hyde amendment has blocked abortion care for millions of women, especially women of color and those most in need. It’s past time Congress passes my EACH Act to finally end the Hyde amendment. Abortion care is health care. Period.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.
