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.

It sucked, but I'd take it over this.
It doesn't matter, though. Whatever our feelings about it, it is gone forever.
So we had all better put our fucking thinking caps on and imagine a better future and then aggressively work to realize it.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.
I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

ALSO: A federal judge in Massachusetts, following a hearing, found on Friday that the Trump administration's anti-trans, anti-nonbinary passport policy is likely unconstitutional and likely violates the Administrative Procedure Act, and granted a preliminary injunction as to the plaintiffs who sued.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

This. Absolutely this. The one disheartening take away from Saturday’s (fabulous!) protests was how much focus is on one or two men (you know who)- but very few people focusing on how the entire GOP seems to have decided they are completely comfortable selling out our country and our future
One man is leading, but the entire Republican Party is supporting and enabling. We can’t lose sight of that and we can’t forget it.
One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.
I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

People keep saying Senator Booker's filibuster was meaningless and people who were moved by it are naive and gullible but I lived and organized in a south where this record stood and slavery and Jim Crow cast a long shadow and I tell you Booker taking that record means something.
In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”
A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.
