*he* has PTSD

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Teen Vogue changed how a generation saw politics and inclusion. That era could be over. Journalists who cover race, gender and inequality are often the first to go, raising deeper questions about who gets to tell the news.

When places like Teen Vogue, NBC, CBS lose racial and gender diversity on their staff, they lose the ability to elevate stories from the Black community and the ability to capture nuances and perspectives from different Black communities"

no I’m not surprised, just imagining (among other things) an opposition party that took this population seriously and devoted itself over the many years it would take to make this country actually livable for them

She was 17 and a high school junior in Florida. She was working at McDonald’s. And she was living in and out of a homeless shelter. Hoping to save up to buy braces to fix her teeth, she falsely advertised herself in 2017 as 18 years old on a website that matches men looking for “companionship” with young women looking to make money. What followed would set off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of one of the men she would encounter, Representative Matt Gaetz, the Florida Republican.

Y’all I have multiple juicy and important stories on my plate for @autonomynews.co but I also have rent to pay. And I’m about to lose the extra tax credits for the Obamacare plan that I already downgraded to save money. Your support makes the difference in us being able to write these stories

Your only possible response, when confronted with someone saying this, is to wait for them to finish, firmly state “What the actual fuck is wrong with you?” and leave the interview immediately.

THere's a word for a 30+ year old man who has sex with a 17 yo girl.

it's RAPIST. Gaetz RAPED her. They didn't "have sex."

This is a rehash of @oregonian.com 's infamous headline calling Oregon's former governor's rape of a 14 year old girl, an "affair". As in the guv admitted "Affair w 14yo."

Mr. Gaetz was investigated by the Justice Department for child sex trafficking but never charged. Following the election last year, he was President Trump's first choice to serve as attorney general. He subsequently resigned from Congress, and then withdrew from consideration as attorney general under a storm of scrutiny.

Horrific account of the now young woman who was exploited by former Congressman Matt Gaetz when she was just 17-years-old.

Imagine raising the rent on a soup kitchen that feeds 17,000 people a month so much that they have to move out........all while claiming to follow the teachings of Jesus.

A "christian" church that is not helping to feed people, has shown they are a church of greed, not Jesus.

Sen. Curtis of Utah with Sen. Mark Kelly talking about extreme rhetoric and online incivility with Dana Bash. He is very upset about the tone. They talk about Trump. But nobody mentions that the other Utah Sen. Mike Lee is the nastiest, lying member of the U.S. Senate.

Rather than listening to survivors, Trump and Republicans are choosing to protect pedophiles.

This fight is about getting justice for these brave women. We won’t stop fighting until it is done.

Release the files.

If you say things on TV like "Raping an 8yo is worse than raping a 15yo" you should be launched into a volcano

I had inflammatory breast cancer, which starts in the skin layers and often doesn’t present as a localized mass, meaning it can be missed on mammograms. Luckily it has visible symptoms, and when I saw them I went to my doctor. I’m three years out!

My point is they’re wrong.

It’s a gorgeous painting.

Wtf

This headline is journalistic malpractice. This isn't Epstein "alleging" that Trump knew. This is Epstein and Maxwell discussing - in 2011, long before Trump had political salience - how the FACT that Trump knew might play out

Both of them took as a given that this was a fact in a private email

Now I’m singing music from an old Sesame Street bit. “Me and my llama, me and my llama, goin’ to the dentist today…”

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

The best way to show that MAGA is not part of some dark authoritarian movement is to remove professors who suggest that it is

“Standing up to Donald Trump didn’t work,” said Senator Angus King, independent of Maine who caucuses with the Democrats, said on MSNBC Monday. “It actually gave him more power.”
