We've now learned that Katie Johnson not only sued Donald Trump for raping her at 14 and gave sworn testimony under the penalty of perjury, but that she was interviewed by the FBI not once but FOUR TIMES and her story was found to be credible.
Donald Trump raped children.

Its is essential that these states investigate their citizens potential involvement in war crimes. Lord knows that Israel will never do it.
part of the reason i get annoyed about the media's hand-wringing over the general mood/misogyny of young american men is bc NO ONE platforms anyone on the receiving end. imagine being a teen girl in hs stuck in a room with these screeching losers for 40 hours/week trying to learn
This is devastating.
Over a hundred BBC staff have signed a letter declaring they've been forced to do PR for Israel.
Just the latest chapter in the biggest scandal of Western journalism of our time

“What did you do to provoke the abuse?”
A few examples from my life:
- Bought the wrong bread
- Smiled at a waiter
- Got stuck in traffic
- Got sick with a fever
- Sold a play
- Dressed up for an event he asked me to dress up for
- Made a nice dinner (accused of being “in love” with our guests)
- Ordered takeout (accused of “not wanting to impress our guests”)
- Chatted to an actor at a festival
- Failed to chat to a producer at a festival
- Lost weight
- Cut myself on a knife in a restaurant
- Took a phone call from my brother on my birthday
- Slipped on some ice
Abusers are controlling and irrational, FFS
Stop placing responsibility for their insanity on the people they hurt.
@Mr_Pie09 @annaqville@andystrickland Being a survivor of sexual assault isn’t the same as being gay, and being gay isn’t a bad thing. Hope that clears things up for you.
“why arent clothes made as well anymore” “why am i scared to ask my boss for PTO” “how is rent so high” “why wont Biden do the right thing” “why doesnt my degree matter” what if I told you these all have the same very depressing very real answer
To assume merit is the reason White people are overrepresented in positions of power and influence is to assume White people are superior. To assume peoples of color in positions of power and influence are unqualified and unmerited is to assume peoples of color are inferior. 1/
When my daddy was murdered, my mama became our family’s rock. I’m running for Governor to help working people like her by eliminating the tax on groceries, cutting car tag fees in half, expanding Medicaid and cleaning up corruption.
Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action
Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed
The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE
Imagine you're a gay NHLer. You've watched fans threaten Kadri. You've watched Torts preemptively bully Black players. You've watched players 'opt out' of Pride nights, and you've watched the league stand by and let it all happen. How could you possibly feel safe coming out?
@NBSaphierMD If you disagree with this way of trying to force women/girls to give up their dreams, then respectfully, you need to stop being an active part of the system that is furthering this narrative. Stop putting your time, talents and money into Fox, which is trying to disempower girls.
@LizCGil We went to Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, the Merrion Hotel for afternoon tea, Etto and Glover’s Alley, and the last was my fave! Highly recommend.
