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.

I'm gonna say this:
This scandal & cover up is way fucking bigger than
Watergate, Iran-Contra, The Clinton BJ & J6 combined!
This is an entire political party & way too many Media Organizations protecting a sitting pedophile president of the US & many, many more rapists.
This is a GOP disaster

about going into the dressing rooms of the Miss Teen America

The young girls would hurry to cover themselves. I have a 14 y.o. granddaughter and this incenses me. 😡

How many recordings of him saying awful/illegal things do people need?

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

There was a story in the Boston Globe about this that managed to completely avoid mentioning either that she was trans or had been barred from sports. Which should be impossible to do.

So Trump says he has to “bring in” foreign talent because American workers don’t have it. I also notice he says “No YOU don’t have it, instead of WE, Americas President is a literal foreign agent
