Remember last week, when conservatives tried to falsely claim that Baltimore Mayor Scott spent $1 million on crab legs at Ravens games?

Except it turned out that it was $52,000 for all home Ravens and Orioles games over three years for a staff of 200?

They said taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for luxuries like crab legs.

Pepperidge farms remembers. And so do I.

Kristi Noem spent $220 MILLION on a 60-second ad.

Pete Hegseth spent $93 BILLION in one month.

Trump just gave four Big Tech companies a $51 BILLION tax break.

And you’re worried about a single mom getting a few bucks from SNAP to feed her kids?

Wake up, people.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The idea is good but the text itself was rushed and not thought through. It violated a lot of standard practices to protect survivors and due process:

1. It also released documents related to allegations found to be false or unsubstantiated, not just verified violations or settlements. So innocent people would get lumped in with violators.

2. To our knowledge, there was zero victim consent or consultation on this text. That is very different than with Epstein, where victims are centered and consulted at every step. Here, victims offered all their statements with the promise of protection and anonymity. The text gave them no way to have a voice in what information of theirs or their accounts they wanted public or keep private. That is important because…

3. Although there was a throwaway line about redacting victim names, I do believe full witness or victim statements would have been released. With the way employment at the House works (offices are small, time periods of staff employment are publicly disclosed, etc) it means that even with names redacted you can definitely track details in witness statements and use that to ID victims without their consent. And there was zero mechanism for victims themselves to assert their privacy.

Originally we were supposed to debate the details of the text over two days but for some reason they rushed the vote so we couldn’t iron out any of these details to get this information properly disclosed in a way that guarantees victim safety.

If the text was clean I think you’d get a lot more support. As a survivor, I know why the vast majority of women never report at all and a lot of those reasons, even if unintentionally or inadvertently, were included here. For me at least, guaranteeing the safety and agency of victims and survivors would get me to a YES.

It's important to know why Dems voted down Nancy Mace's resolution to release congressional sexual harassment records.

Read AOC's thread.

In short, @NancyMace put a bad bill forward, knowing Dems would vote it down... so she can use that to try discrediting them on Epstein.

If you look at Nancy's entire timeline now, it's nothing but attempts to smears Dems movements on Epstein because of her shitty resolution... which had no victim protections or guardrails. Nancy offered up a poorly-written and harmful text just to get people to vote no... so she could ultimately use Dem behavior as an end around to help Trump look not-guilty.

Presumably because she is desperate for some help in the South Carolina governor's race. I can't wait until Nancy is unemployed... she's such a deceitful and nasty bitch.

[🦂THEE Auntie with no kids♏️ @prmade313raised]

Dear white people,

You can’t spend centuries making race matter when it comes to exclusion…then get mad when we acknowledge race in achievement.

If someone is the FIRST Black anything, that means the door wasn’t always open. We’re not highlighting color to divide we’re highlighting barriers that were finally broken.

If color “doesn’t matter,” then it shouldn’t have mattered when people were being locked out either.

We will always honor Black firsts…because every one of them represents a barrier that was broken. ✊🏾🖤

Yup. And the leader in the middle is Robert F Williams. A Marine Corps veteran who changed the course of the civil rights movement and made an international impact beyond what even MLK Jr. did. But he’s erased from history because they don’t want us knowing that violence can work

Fun fact: the ice cream scoop was invented by Alfred L. Cralle in 1897. Every perfect scoop you’ve ever had exists because of Black brilliance. Enjoy #BlackHistoryMonth

Was thinking about Emmett Till and then I went down a rabbit hole of past lynchings. Came across the story of Mary Turner and reading it made me physically ill.

After all this is over, we need to pass a law that makes social media posts from official agency accounts like this subject to perjury. It is too destructive to the country to let them keep lying and lying and lying without any possible legal remedy.
