Friendly reminder that the: - WNBA game 6 being moved to 12:30om ET on a Thursday - rape of Jane Doe @ Cornell & every institutional failure that followed, - election of a serial rapist to the White House TWICE is all fucking connected. This is why the women in your life read FMC fantasy smut.

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

This article buries the actual story: James Dolan sent an email to Madison Square Garden staff claiming they’d get a Knicks championship ring…. Except it was fake, claiming they suck at identifying malware, and forced them into “training.” What a piece of shit. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

finally watched this clip and we need to figure out what is wrong with white men. why would you challenge serena williams to a tennis match

This is why we don’t come forward This is why we don’t speak up This is why we don’t report This is why we stay quiet This is why we’re silent This is why This

Tax the rich? Everyone is against it until they find out how it actually works. Watch and find out how Wealth Taxes actually work.

Laws meant to protect survivors, without survivor input, can be flimsy and even dangerous. We saw what happened in 2018. But @hfny.bsky.social stepped in and demanded public hearings, which successfully informed future legislation. College students deserve to be heard, too.

NY lawmakers are scrambling to enact reforms based on Jane Doe's experience at Cornell. But no survivors have been invited to the table to tell their story. We've seen what happens when laws are enacted for us, WITHOUT us. We need public hearings. www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

No more.

I actually don't think the Republican Senator mixed up "Hawks" and "Hawkeyes." Going by his own statements, it appears his staff saw he went to a basketball game on that date and googled basketball games and found the only men's game that night in the whole country was in Atlanta.

Another good reason to vote for @bradlander.bsky.social. (This wasn't planned - we just passed it on the street and Lander noticed, grinned, stopped, and clicked.)

Cornell and LSU protecting rapists...and they're probably not the only schools www.wwltv.com/article/spor...

To be sure — but what blows my mind is that the leadership of the state prison system that was in place when these murders occurred (we're still waiting for resolution in the suit brought by the family of Messiah Nantwi) is still in place. Zero accountability at the top.

Should’ve included that we’ve paid $20M+ for this assholes defense. And still counting.

I’d rather my tax dollars help make a family whole after state employees beat their son to death than my tax dollars help defend a serial sexual- harassing state employee who continues retaliating against his victims. And yes, ICYMI, New Yorkers are still paying for Andrew Cuomo’s defense.

I’m gonna need to watch that Taylor Swift/SVU bit like eighteen more times.

The subtext: it’s time to make New York’s wealthy pay what they owe in taxes. And that means right-siding an upside down NYS tax code.

The Democratic Party has let a consulting industry exploit elderly donors in its name, wreck its reputation and finances in the process, and walk away rich whether the party wins or loses. When a mirror is held up, the instinct is to break the glass rather than look. On why the press looks away:

Most who vote Democratic this November are voting for opposition. For someone to put more of a check on a lawbreaking, rights violating, power abusing White House. They are *not* voting for compromise to rescue Trump from his mistakes, and some will be disillusioned if that's what their vote gets.

Dan is one of my favorite reporters, hands down. But #1 on this list (A reorganized state Democratic Party) is wrong. Sure, it has more money, but it goes to HER campaign, w/ little down-ballot coordination & disappears once campaign season is over. It's Cuomo's state party, just w/ more funding.

A disgusting effort to subvert the will of the voters just to hold on to her leadership position. All Democratic elected officials in Brooklyn should speak out against this blatant power grab by Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn.

“We have a leader that we believe in. Who has a spine. Who is going to make the right choices – or we’re going to make sure he makes the right choices because he has a movement behind him." Great story about how @juliopenabk.com is going to transform the party chair role in Brooklyn

Celeste has kept us informed & shares tangible ways to take action for years…all while navigating life, trauma, & health issues. Now it’s our turn to give her a tangible way to get the care & rest she needs. Donate $5, $10, $20, whatever you can. Less than $1k to go. gofund.me/0e89ff96a

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

people could respond to this framing around reporting deaths—"had significant underlying health conditions"—with more confidence if we weren't also living through a pandemic in which we have been told only people who have "underlying health issues" are "vulnerable" or "at risk"

This article significantly diminishes the findings against Rep. Edwards: he’s a serial sexual harasser and created a hostile work environment. I won’t pretend that I have all the answers here, but I do know a censure is not enough for accountability purposes.

I was just called an "authentic Cuomo-hater" in a meeting and I've never felt so cool...

HFNY is shocked to see the Mayor reverse course after campaigning against the sexual misconduct by Cuomo & his enabling team. It's time to stop working with Katz, who deployed many of the same Team Cuomo-style tactics on behalf of Platner. Our statement:

Not directly related to this (interesting & important) thread- but I wanted to point out that most of the 11-min video is DARVO in action. As @charlotteclymer.bsky.social mentions here, Platner Denies, Attacks his “alleged” victim, and Reverses Victim & Offender by claiming he’s being set up.

if you got taken in by Platner: 1) center the experiences of those he hurt 2) admit you were wrong 3) spend the next few days figuring out how to not get taken in by a guy doing *exactly* the same thing next time, because there will be guys doing *exactly* the same thing for the rest of your life

This this this this www.thehandbasket.co/p/graham-pla...

Hi, rape should not be the floor when supporting a candidate for office. Anyone who stood by Platner after the first round of credible allegations needs to not only rescind their support now but also make amends for the damage they’ve caused by sticking with him beforehand. That is all…for now.

Look, this is a fair article when it comes to legitimate questions about Schumer's leadership. But how do you write about the DSCC failures and only mention Gillibrand once, and in passing? Not even a mention that Schumer appointed her, and she's clearly failing at her job.

The Spurs told ESPN that Jalen Brunson is going to have patch things up with San Antonio following last weeks finals victory

@alexbores.nyc always talks about how Congressmembers call him about his AI legislative proposals and how badly they’re needed. He urges them to take the idea and RUN with it NOW - he won’t be in office for a while!…and they never do.

Watching the parade to see Mariska Hargitay just as much as the Knicks team

How about affordability AND impeaching Trump (+admin officials) Affordability AND prosecuting ICE officers The name of the game needs to be “Affordability AND…” If Jeffries doesn’t want to walk and chew gum at the same time (bc let’s be clear- we know he can), we need a Dem leader who will.

Not allegations. He was found liable for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll. Name it, use up your skeet characters, your lede word count, whatever. Just please stop minimizing sexual violence.
