You can't expect the New York Times to give any attention to a story about the president being credibly accused of violent rape when the story breaks so close to an election. It's not like we're talking about something *really* important, like email security protocols.

These are the idiots leading our country

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

I get they're inextricably intertwined but I kind of feel like leaning so much into how he was the longtime best buddy of the world's most notorious sex criminal has given it something of the feel of a political gotcha rather than the important part, which is that the president raped people.

This election is putting into sharp relief how the entire GOP strategy is about ensuring as many people as possible can’t vote. At its most basic level, democracy is about voting. Support the party that supports voting. That’s the table stakes of democracy.

Thanks to @bradlander.bsky.social, Rabbi Jill Jacobs, CEO of @truahrabbis.bsky.social, + other US rabbis (+ others) for protective presence for Palestinian farmers against settler terrorists. This detention is a predictable violation of human rights, aka an outrage. More: bsky.app/profile/trua...

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

Trump: "You go up to Minnesota -- number one place in the entire country for the sale of Mercedes-Benz. And Somalians are buying them. They come here with low IQs and no money and they get rich. Do we feel stupid? Our fraud division is getting them all."

This is just wild. Remember the blowback about calling people a “basket of deplorables”?

Trump: "If you call somebody from that part of the world 'Mohammed,' you're about 65% sure to get it right. So if you have any problem with names, just call the guy Mohammed, you'll probably be right."

JON OSSOFF: “Will you commit tonight that for the remainder of this campaign, it’s just three weeks Mike, you won’t allow any more neo-Nazi propaganda to be produced from your house. Can you make that commitment?” MIKE COLLINS: *does not make that commitment* bsky.app/profile/atru...

The amount of difference even a small but regular amount of money can make in peoples’ lives is incredible. With the amount of money and time spent on confusing, complex programs, what if we just gave people the money they need to survive?

I have a lot of disagreement with Dem leaders like Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries— but they’re not out there calling for violence. I would decry them if they did. Donald Trump is a violent bloodthirsty racist misogynistic homophobic slug. He is the problem with political violence.

We don’t spend enough time talking about just how WEIRD all these people are. This is just an incredibly weird and insecure thing to say. Imagine any other SecDef ever being this weird and insecure?!

Like, the US is very publicly losing a war of choice that rocked the global economy and is going to cost his party a massive election loss. And the SecDef’s priority is getting a bunch of subordinates together to lecture about how important lifting weights and tucking in your shirt is. Pathological!

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Gendered violence is a systemic cultural and societal problem. And when one of these cases boils to the top, you can see that in how many survivors come forward to explain how similar their experiences are, in ways both big and small.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.
