All the men who were silent. Look in the mirror- you are the problem. Apologize to the women in your life and FFS do better.
1/Catherine Lucey, the White House correspondent for Bloomberg, asked Donald Trump about releasing the Epstein files on Air Force One over the weekend. In response, Trump leaned forward, slashing an accusatory finger her direction and barked, “Quiet! Quiet Piggy,” at her.

I want to send this story to the douchebag in the bar who argued no one has lost rights in the US & I’m a liar that women are dying in Texas. For the record a) I wasn’t actually trying to talk to him & b) he stormed out of the bar after this. Why do men hate women so much? This poor woman.

In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.
She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.
Then she died.

Every day is some new atrocity on his part. I cannot even believe this is our reality.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

FFS. Check your privilege, people. I just cannot-the way to save us is not to throw others under the bus. Also, as someone who watches a LOT of true crime-everyone needs to calm the hell down. I lived in Baltimore & walked my dog in my pjs. You going to be alright.
Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇
