I’m writing an article about matching with guys on a dating app, only to learn they weren’t being honest about their politics in their profile (specifically, their profile said “moderate” — and they, well, weren’t 😩)✍🏻

What’s happening in LA is a direct result of people who didn’t vote or voted for the unhinged person in power. Hitler didn’t rise to power on his own, he rose to power because thousands of fools followed him blindly.

While I’m pleased to see that Hakeem Jeffries is calling for #PeteHegseth’s firing/resignation (Chuck Schumer just called for “accountability”), these statements are no better than a hypothermic Jack Dawson promising to “write a strongly worded letter to the White Star Line about all of this.”

I don't know about you, but I am so through with people who aren't using their platforms to speak out against the Trump-Musk administration.
Just say SOMETHING.

Weak men like Ed Bejarana can't handle women like Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl standing up for basic decency.
My ab*sive boss at Rolling Stone was no different. When I called him out on his bullsh*t, he warned me, "You're in serious trouble."
We've allowed men like this to behave this way for too long.
