I don’t care how many times I need to write this: Donald Trump is using a corrupt Justice Department to target his political opponents and critics. Some of these men and women you may like; others you may loathe. Either way, they are victims — each and every one.

And I will say their names."

Trump targets his critics. I say their names.

Thank you George Takei.

Males are taken more seriously; think of the Catholic Church's a decade or so ago, aren't asked about drinking, attacked by the press, nor treated as if they did something wrong.
People wonder why so many females don't speak about assaults and/or rapes for decades.

I remember these chain letters that would be mailed or passed around with the subtle threat that if it wasn't resent to x amount of people within a certain time period then we would face disaster. I was in Jr school when I first saw one.
