You are either legal or not. There is no such thing as “barely legal.” A fully grown man “liking” teen girls as a category is a sign of someone who thinks the rules don’t apply to them.
Megyn Kelly: It's okay to rape kids as long as you don't use their preferred pronouns.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

But what alarms me in all this is how the girls who were victimized by these men are largely forgotten. I want us to find ways of centering them in the discourse.

It will be catastrophic to lose the Haitian community.
I was talking to the CEO of a human services advocacy organization in Massachusetts and she said some providers could lose up to 40% of their staff if TPS is revoked for Haitian immigrants. I think people do not fully appreciate that we are about to fall off a direct care cliff.
