I absolutely LOVE this!! Men showing up and standing with women. The El Paso, Texas Fire Department is walking a mile in her shoes to support survivors of domestic violence. #SheShed ♥️👠

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

JUST IN: Gov. Kathy Hochul said she had signed an executive order appointing the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James as the special prosecutor on the Cornell University sexual assault case. Accountability is coming! #Cornell #Pinks

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

No one seems to want to explain this, so I will. When MAGA Republicans say “freedom” they mean the freedom to exploit workers, consumers and the environment for excessive profit and pay no taxes on it.

Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct. How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?

Under Trump, more than 50 people have died in immigration detention. At least 21 people have been shot in encounters with ICE agents, and this is the second person killed by ICE in the last week alone. None of this is normal. We need an immediate end to this brutality.

Who could have guessed that when you gut the CDC and put a quack with no medical expertise in charge of American healthcare, diseases we had eradicated would come back and there would be explosive diarrhea situations happening. Just no way to know.

Lock the undesirables up. It's easy and convenient ... as long as you're lacking in empathy, respect, and concern for human dignity.

There are some uncomfortably eugenicist vibes in Trump’s latest disability policy, which authorizes states to institutionalize more Americans. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Raise your hand high if you are 100% AGAINST Trump hijacking the 250th anniversary of The Declaration Of Independence by holding a Christian Nationalist revival rally meant to "rededicate" America as a "Christian nation"… Because it’s NOT! 🤚

Dr. Oz is disastrously wrong, of course. But, I will take the opportunity to talk about real population science, shall I? (Impromptu Thread) To start off, this is immensely racist and adjacent to the "Great Replacement" racist conspiracy theory. It is a delusional fantasy.

Dobbs was supposed to return the question of abortion to the states to decide. Yeah, right. A ruling on Friday by a federal panel in Louisiana in fact just imposed a nationwide requirement of in-person dispensation for a popular abortion medication. My write-up in the replies.

While Donald Trump's reckless and costly war with Iran forces families to pay more for gas and groceries, his Big Oil donors are profiting from his attempt to illegally restart the Sable pipeline. California is demanding the court block this flagrant abuse of power.

AG Rob Bonta @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov

We’re filing a motion for a preliminary injunction in an effort to block the Trump Administration from unlawfully greenlighting the restart of two CA onshore oil pipelines that are subject to State regulation and oversight.

Tax breaks for data centers in North Carolina keep as much as $57 million each year out of state and local government coffers, state figures show, an amount that could balloon to billions of dollars if all the proposed projects are built. From our colleagues at @insideclimatenews.org:
