So disgusted to think about whom our society discards and on whom it heaps riches, resources, and endless chances.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Trump is a rapist and a pedo, & part of what got him reelected was the violent backlash to the MeToo movement, which touches virtually every system in our lives. I only hope when this all finally goes that those actively complicit in covering up predation go down, too.
Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

Statistically someone you love is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.
Chances are if you can’t think of anyone, it’s probably because they don’t feel safe telling you.
Consider this before making your jokes about the Epstein shit.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.
This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

The discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files only received a handful of GOP votes.
But when we get the actual vote to release them, I'm presuming we'll see a whole lot more, right?
"Congressman _____ voted against releasing the Epstein Files" isn't an ad you want before the midterms

Everything about this is stupid but absolutely no one wants to negotiate with health insurance companies over terms.
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

Senate Democrats walked away empty-handed, and don’t let anyone tell you different.
Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t.
Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

So the ACA vote they were promised seems…redundant now?
Feels like Dems who struck the deal are only gonna be able to make their secondary defense: that they believed the shutdown wasn't going to shift Republicans — despite the narrative for the GOP getting worse — and were worried about the harms.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.
