If you haven’t read about the “ring boys” case, it’s some truly vile, predatory behavior. We can joke about every Trump nominee having some sort of sexual misconduct allegation in their past, but it’s about the only consistent variable, aside from being profoundly unqualified.
This is not okay.

Love a good anti-SLAPP story.

A Stanford student got in a car accident that killed two people and was charged with crimes. After the victims' families wrote to Stanford about it, saying he should be disciplined, he sued them and tried to use the suit to silence their advocacy. Yesterday he lost. This is the story.

And get this: The judge invoked a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... that was passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Just backfired.

As with Gaetz, administration defense of Hegseth misconduct charges is: “Mr. Hegseth has vigorously denied any and all accusations, and no charges were filed.” It’s total sophistry.There are dozens of reasons that DOJ doesn’t bring charges, and that decision in no way implies a finding of innocence.

Every day each of us doesn’t say or do something to protest this insanity is a day we contribute to making it seem normal and making it harder eventually to undo.
So don’t let a day go by without registering your resistance — and refusing to signal your resignation!
