If Rev. Bautista does, in fact, sue DHS, he would be — by my count — the 11th clergy member/faith leader to file a lawsuit against the Trump admin this year (alongside at least 5 individual religious practitioners).

UPDATE: I added in the congressional response to the boat-strike section once I saw we had bipartisan, matching statements from both House and Senate Armed Services Committees. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-admi...

Louis CK has never fully acknowledged his misconduct, and has misrepresented it multiple times—including in his initial apology. In so doing, he has continued to do harm to his victims.

Fuck that. Fuck him.

CK has also made his misconduct into a joke in his stand-up: "If you ever masturbate in front of someone, ask them first. If they say yes, don't do it!"

But again, this misrepresents the testimony of several of his victims, leading people to believe that they consented when they did not.

Also note that his statement only refers to women he exposed himself to in person—it doesn't mention the woman, also quoted in the original Times story on his misconduct and named in his "apology," who he talked dirty to and masturbated to over the phone without asking for permission.

In his initial statement he said "I never showed a woman my dick without asking first." Many people assumed, as he knew and intended that they would, that that meant that he asked for and received consent.

But note that he doesn't explicitly make that claim. There's a reason for that.

"What we see on the street is just the tip of the iceberg. There's an entire world of homelessness that has been rendered invisible."

Here's the YouTube link to my PBS News Weekend interview:

Don’t forget we should really be creaming the butter and sugar, depending on the cookie.

Probably a good idea to try again, sure he won’t mind.
