This is a country that 2x rejected qualified women as POTUS & chose a *serial rapist* instead.
This is a country where women's civil rights vary at the whims of 50 state legislatures.
But ask Americans to identify the biggest problems facing us: misogyny is so baked in it's almost never mentioned.

I think the most intractable form of bigotry might be misogyny solely because we have a lot do studies that suggest that when dominant populations (read: straight white males) are heavily exposed to people who are different from them they become less biased — with one exception
I would say this is a Streisand Effect thing except that it IS A BIG DEAL that the President is a rapist (proven by a court but weirdly media run mostly by male leadership seems to treat like a sideshow) but this also seems like evidence that he’s a PEDOPHILE is being withheld

it's remarkably bleak that Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, including an allegation that was adjudicated and in which he was found liable for sexual assault, and yet the American public needs still MORE evidence of his depraved character and unfitness.

It's no exaggeration to say that this Administration exhibits utter contempt for the entirety of humankind on a daily basis.
It stands in violent opposition to anything decent or kind.
The only possible explanation is that everyone involved in this vicious enterprise has a thoroughly broken soul.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.
