THIS
“Had sex with an underage girl“ is not a thing. That language minimises the crime. We don’t use euphemisms for rape. If you do, well you’re part of the problem.
Oh hells yes. This is what I always make a point of saying. It's not sex, it's not anything but rape. No consent, then it's rape. Trafficked? Rape. Underage? Rape. Both? Of course rape.

WORDING MATTERS.

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago.

And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

i am just infinitely confused by how civil rights has been rendered so invisible in horse race political discourse that “group that gets explicitly singled out for oppression changes their politics” is in any way surprising
The New Jersey governor’s race is the first significant sign that Trump’s success with Hispanic voters in 2024 may have been a temporary shift.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Noem spent over $200 million in taxpayer dollars to film videos over 2xs last year’s budget.
The money was funneled using a “no bid” contract to an unknown LLC created days earlier and is tied to the husband of her deputy at DHS.

This is very similar to how large segments of the Right have always viewed Biden as an illegitimate president because the Democratic coalition is viewed as fundamentally illegitimate and Democratic governance “un-American.” Majorities and elections don’t matter.
