I'm just here for the boys

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

MIKA: Given your sexting, can you call for the release of the Epstein files and not be conflicted in any way?

PLATNER: Yes, of course. I engaged in consensual romantic activities with adults at an earlier part of my life. That seems like a fairly normal thing most people do. Going to an island with billionaires to possibly assault children is a vastly, vastly different thing.

I understand it can be hard for readers halfway around the world to absorb headlines like this over & over. Fatigue for stories of faraway grief is natural.

But every one of these families is shattered, possibly beyond repair. Please do read what my colleagues are documenting.

because people are too fucking stupid/misogynistic to understand this update:

the judge threw out the sexual harassment claims (she’s still able to bring claims of retaliation) because he ruled that Lively couldn’t bring a SH claim under federal law since she was an independent contractor on the film. federal anti-discrimination laws including Title VII do not protect non-employees.

California state law DOES have protections for ICs, but the judge ruled that she can’t file a claim under CA state law because the movie filmed in New Jersey.

This is a horrifying reminder of how fucked our system is

Today the @DailyMail published the findings of my two-year investigation "The Brass Pass" into the hidden epidemic of domestic abuse suffered by military wives and girlfriends.
A dossier of 52 cases reveals torture by Army men against their wives.

This needs to become illegal. It is data collection + intimidation of existing employees + stock market manipulation + HR pretending to be working. Literally nothing is good about it and it damages the social fabric a lot.

[Mr. Chau @Srirachachau]

People can watch whatever they want but Rowling is personally funding anti-trans legislation with every dollar she profits off Harry Potter. It’s not just a stance she has, it’s her whole mission. There’s no deniability here, it’s what you’re supporting

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Hey leftists, it’s ok to discuss disagreements about strategy, but if you say people who take COVID precautions:

- are too scared to leave the house

- demand that everyone to mask 24/7

- are terrified of a just a "cold"

You are using far right anti-science talking points.

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

If anyone wants to help I spent a few hours talking to medical students in Havana today who work at a hospital who said they need N95s or equivalents desperately. I’ve already worked with someone to secure 5,000 masks but 40,000 supplies their entire hospital staff for a year.

“According to aviation insider JonNYC, he then continued working alone for over an hour after the crash, guiding remaining planes back to their gates because there was no one to relieve him until morning.”

ICE detain 7 year old girl from Canada—who suffers from severe autism.

She's traumatized in loud & overcrowded cell—no reason she can't be at home with her legal stepfather.

"They are being unlawfully detained," he said.

"My wife and daughter's papers are good and up to date."

He provided his wife's social security documentation—that prove she is a lawful alien with a right to work in the U.S.

Mother and child are currently locked up at the Ursula ICE detention center in McAllen, Texas—notorious for having child "cages."

[now with More Moxie! @MedicinalMaggot]

I think it’s too bad that we treat the act of “apologizing” like some kind of degrading humiliation ritual. I actually think apologizing can be ego-serving in a positive way. Like, “This doesn’t fit my internal standards for who I am, I expect better from myself” kind of thing.

@janet_gart87502 @VeryBadLlama What the fuck are you talking about lol

[Janel Comeau 🍁 @VeryBadLlama]

We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

[𓃠🪬 @adeitys4]

if you’re too scared to start over at an older age just do it quietly. nobody has to know you got your drivers license at 30. nobody needs to know you’re starting school again at 40. especially nobody that’s a judgemental loser, but we live in a world like this. so do it quietly

[aster 🌼 @themermacorn]

She took a photo of her baby leaving for school, probably marveling at how fast kids grow up. Sent him with a packed lunch and all his books. And he was murdered before she could see him again. I cannot take the cruelty. May Allah ease her pain 💔

[🍉🇵🇸 @dollaramaslut69]

@adamjohnsonCHI @elivalley Not true! Jake tapper covered it today by implying that it was in fact Iran who did the bombing? Or that the numbers are made up? Then went on to wonder why progressives on college campuses weren’t protesting the Iranian government!

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

This is utterly incoherent.

What Canadians need to hear from our Prime Minister right now is simple: call for a ceasefire and immediately withdraw your misguided support for Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal war.

Canadians don’t want to be part of this axis of aggression and impunity, AI-targeted assassinations, and the blatant killing of civilians.

We want our country to be a voice for peace.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

“To me, what stood out was Mark Carney — who we praised a lot. He stood up at Davos and said the international order was broken because it only worked for powerful countries... And I think what’s really disappointing about his statement is I guess he was only talking about trade. I guess we don’t care if the United States just goes around bombing countries with impunity.”

— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes), former Obama deputy national security adviser, on allied governments’ response to U.S. strikes on Iran

Rhodes also criticized the E3 (UK, France, Germany) and Australia for issuing statements that either endorsed Washington’s actions or hid behind diplomatic word salad — avoiding any direct challenge to Trump’s expanding use of force.
