The proposal for a joint task force on violence against women that focuses solely on the criminal legal system is not the path forward. Survivors want alternatives to police. The criminal legal system is not going to solve for Gender-based violence.

The level of harm happening across communities is unfathomable. These decisions are intentional and now we are playing the blame game because we have fragile, afraid, immature men in leadership.
DOJ furloughs could impact domestic violence grants. Some fear that's the point.

A tornado WATCH means the right weather conditions exist for tornadoes to form.
A tornado WARNING means a tornado has been sighted and you need to get to shelter or a safe part of your house.

Before we all rush to stop spending for a day, can we please remember who works at fast food chains and big retail stores? Black and brown workers shifts will be cut in anticipation of a "slow day" or in response to it, meaning they won't get a paycheck. And billionaires won't even feel it.

The "Gulf of America" thing is ridiculous, but if the press gives in on this, the administration will just keep pushing - maybe conditioning access on deadnaming people, saying Trump won the 2020 election, you name it. Draw a line in the sand now, while the stakes seem small.
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!
