This is s good video to bookmark for the inevitable creeps that try justifing predatory grown ass adult men with those under 18.
Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Whether they realize it or not, all these CEOs getting in bed with Trump for short-term benefit to exploit his transactional corruption are self-inflicting long-term reputational damage to themselves personally and their brands. The stink of Trump never washes off.

Thoughts cannot be chained, ideas cannot be silenced, and the light of imagination will pierce even the darkest prisons. Knowledge is a rebellion no authority can quell, and curiosity is a fire that no walls can contain.

"Under Senate Enrolled Act 202, a professor must embrace free expression and intellectual diversity and may not lecture about political views unrelated to their field." The graduate class is "Diversity, Human Rights and Social Justice.” So intellectual "diversity"= ONE view. RIP academic freedom.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.
