I was in college when Sarah McBride posted her coming-out essay in HuffPost. I was closeted and could barely imagine living openly. She gave me the courage to try. Standing beside the first trans Member of Congress on the House floor was surreal. It really does get better.

to minimize as much as possible the suffering of your fellow humans under this shit-ass regime, of which NONE of this particular gratuitous shit (of course there's plenty to hold a "normal" Dem-led government accountable for already, but we're not there) would be happening w/out the GOP. Period.

NYT: but her emails
Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

Wild how every single member of the political and business elite went into full drooling fascism the second the prospect of consequences for abhorrent behavior started to seem possible
My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

these epstein emails are pretty damning. i sure hope that we haven't spent the last couple years in a cultural backslide where men are seemingly allowed to openly and gleefully fantasize about dominating young women without any threat of reproach

Right, and the side effect of this is they've decided nothing matters about Trump and everything still matters about everyone else, so you get this dramatically different coverage that drives everyone (justifiably) insane.
I legitimately think one of the absolute poisons of American political discourse is how “but will this matter electorally” has become the only metric used by basically the entire non-partisan media for assessing a story’s importance

The president of the united states is a pedophile rapist who was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein and spent hours with an underage victim at Epstein's home. Now he's currently huddled in the situation room directing a cover up about it like it's a seal team 6 operation. Do I have that right?

No, the BLS does not have the data due to the longest gov shutdown in history. They spend the month collecting and crunching the numbers, and since the gov shutdown lasted the entire month of October and is still ongoing, October data collection is not possible.

An analysis of news pieces about Trump’s anti-trans decrees found that “70 percent did not include a quote from a single trans person. Instead, journalists turned to cisgender sources — mostly government officials — to speak about trans people, their lives, and how they would be affected.”
NEW: Firings of LGBTQ staff at NBC and Condé Nast have worsened an already dire picture for legacy news media when it comes to covering the trans community.

I hate to be right about Magic Mike Johnson’s one trick—hold the House out of session—because, guys, they had SEVEN weeks to change Lauren Boebert’s vote, and it is coming down holding a meeting in the Situation Room.
The Epstein Files have caused the United States to initiate DEFCON 2.
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."
