No matter your politics, I don’t know how this doesn’t infuriate & absolutely devastate you as a human. When I was 15, I was avoiding team sports, asking how long I could talk to my best friend on the phone, & taking driver’s ed
I’m so sad this girl didn’t have the same privilege to just be a CHILD

“Ultimately, between the money she made from her interactions with men and in the food services industry she was able to save up enough money to get braces.”
“Court documents described the party as involving ‘alcohol; cocaine; middle-aged men; and young attractive females.’”

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.
They didn’t “have sex with underage girls”.
They raped them.
Sex implies consent.
The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

he didn’t harm his victims by “being definitionally a pedophile,” that is not the issue here, none of them are talking about word definitions
he harmed his victims, who were minors, by targeting vulnerable girls with trauma histories then sexually assaulting, coercing, and trafficking them

the thing about this entire Megyn Kelly situation is that many of the victims are alive and vocal and Virginia Giuffre wrote a book before she died and so nobody actually needs to be debating the meaning of the term “pedophile” because we KNOW EXACTLY HOW THE HIGHLY VULNERABLE VICTIMS WERE HARMED

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

This game is actually INSANE. Can’t imagine being a Blue Jays or Dodgers fan right now. One of the most “what the hell just happened?!?” kind of series in a long, long time

Blue Jays full of great dudes, apparently. Can’t wait to hear who rallied their relievers to do this in support of Alex Vesia and family.

Family doesn’t always mean blood. I have several aunts & uncles who are my parents’ close friends & aunts & uncles who are their cousins or even 2nd cousins. I’m Aunt to my friends’ kids too. It’s a sign of respect & love & a nod to the special place they hold in that child’s (and now adult’s) life
Wait, are people really upset that Mamdani spoke about his “aunt,” and it was actually his father’s cousin and not his father’s sibling?
Because that is an extremely normal thing a lot of cultures do. Including a lot of large Jewish families!

In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.
Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."
