MeToo did not go far enough. People were saying "MeToo has gone too far" when it had barely just picked up momentum.

It was an attempt at reckoning with how institutionally misogynistic and sexually exploitative most institutions are and what women are constantly put through. So it was crushed.
This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke...

Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

the funniest thing about the people who argue america isn't ready for a woman president because of sexism are also the very same people who look down on places like india, pakistan, south korea, japan, brazil, sri lanka, bangladesh, taiwan, liberia, mexico, etc. for being more sexist/patriarchal
that whole 'this country isn't ready for a woman president' line is really upsetting because it shows exactly how neoliberalism works, redirecting blame from issues of policy (or lack thereof) onto a flattened, vague type of sexism in a way that ultimately doesn't even challenge sexism!

About half way through Lesser Hungers by @riengray.bsky.social and it is excellent. It reminds me so much of A Serpent Uncoiled by Simon Spurrier and I mean that as such a compliment. Genuinely, a lot of fun and it is on Kindle Unlimited if you're on a budget.

I'm not saying you can easily find Larry Summers email by googling his name and workplace and I am 100% NOT suggesting you bother him. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS! It might distract him from covering up underaged sex crimes or sexpesting. Behave. This is a warning! Respect the guy.

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

one thing we need to do as a society is treat all fraud or theft over $100 million or so as a potential capital crime, with the possibility of execution for offenders.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.
A reminder: The perpetrators in the Epstein files are Oligarchs, and so are the ones protecting them.

You know what's really grinding my gears this week? Low level gender essentialism.

Examples I've heard:
'Well ALL the women in the audience understand don't they?!'
'Girls play different, they're just less... rambunctious.'
'Sorry ladies, this one is for the guys.'
'I'm having a woman moment.'

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.

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"

She did not respond.
