The President of the United States says “let them take out Los Angeles” and “let them take out San Diego,” then floats a “Midterm Surprise,” and NO ONE IS DOING A FUCKING THING? The string quartet is on the deck playing. DO SOMETHING.

Might be controversial but The West Wing. My first watch was about 6 years ago and I thought the show was great. Re-watched it a few months ago and you can really see the drop off in writing after season 4, which I had just learned was when Aaron Sorkin left the show.

Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.

The Cinderella Man (2005) 

During the Great Depression, ex-boxer James J. Braddock (Russell Crowe) works as a day laborer until his former manager Joe Gould (Paul Giamatti) offers him a one-time slot against a rising young contender. After he wins a shocking upset, Braddock goes back into the ring full-time, against the wishes of his frightened wife, Mae (Renée Zellweger). Dubbed "The Cinderella Man" for his rags-to-riches story, Braddock sets his sights on the defending champion, the fearsome Max Baer (Craig Bierko).

Something I don't hear many men talking about is this. Why is a women considered a "slut" or a "whore" if she chooses to have sex with a lot of partners but when it comes to a man who does those things, he gets high-fived by his friends. 1/3

Trump and Hegseth have killed 230+ people on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific with no proof they did anything wrong, no congressional approval, no nothing. Just 2 unhinged fascists ordering our military to commit murder. Vote against all Republicans for the sake of all that is decent.

Making abortion illegal = killing people. That’s it. It’s not more complicated than that. Making health care inaccessible means people die. States that fought the Civil War for the right to own people are now suing so they can own MORE. PEOPLE. It’s state-sanctioned murder and they are FOR it.

Pete Hegseth was accused of sexual assault in 2017. He faced zero consequences from it. Men like the ones at Cornell and other universities across the country who commit rape and sexual abuse, who face zero consequences go on to hold prominent positions within our government.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

I want promising young men to have strong futures and hold positions of power. Promising young men are NOT the ones who assault women. So let's hold people accountable for their actions and get the scum out of the way so REAL men & women of promise can hold positions of authority.

Protesting violence at Cornell gets you arrested. Gang rape gets you an essay.
The district attorney is reopening a horrific campus rape case only after massive public outcry; otherwise, five of the seven men would’ve gotten off with a writing assignment.
