It's as important to stop this as the stuff at the top. Because it's all the same system. This is where Epstein's victims and clients come from. Virginia Giuffre was prey to Maxwell bc she'd been abused all her life & had nowhere to turn. Perps are so brazen bc they're told over & over it's fine.
A middle school boy created deepfake AI CSAM of his fellow classmate, a 13 year old girl. The girl pleaded with the school but they did nothing and instead put her on a bus with the perpetrator. She ended up hitting him and was expelled but nothing happened to the boy.

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like:

Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

Matt Gaetz was just sitting there doing nothing when all of a sudden his political career was upended by a homeless teenager!
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:

"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

Guys, stop reading the Epstein emails, it clearly states at the end of each one that we're not allowed to.

After being up all last night coughing, I figured taking a Sudafed with the rest of my cold meds could only help. I have now been lying in bed awake for three straight hours.

We're not "internal." We had no say. That's why we're mad.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

I particularly hate the suggestion there's some sort of grand bargain in which trans rights are given up in exchange for _______.

No one is offering such a thing. No one would change their vote to Dems after that. The argument exists solely to justify throwing trans people under the bus.
the harris campaign said the “they/them” ad didn’t sway the election.

one of the trump campaign’s top strategists this week said trans rights isn’t in the top five issues for swing voters.

when will the press stop talking about us like we’re a liability and start looking itself in the mirror

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
