All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

This can’t be reformed. It’s not a training issue. The agents who murdered Pretti and Good, and who shot Sosa-Celis have been agents for more than 8 years. I’ll be voting for candidates who support dismantling DHS and abolishing ICE.

"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.

One of many reasons Todd Blanche is unfit.

The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was perfectly fine before the orange felon wasted upwards of $17M to fuck it up it and pretend to fix. Now aside from green algae and peeling blue paint, dead animals are being seen in the mix. This wasn’t a renovation, it was sabotage.

📬 USPS is laying the groundwork to implement Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order. That’s despite expert consensus that the order is unconstitutional amid ongoing efforts to block it in court. Voting rights advocates have warned that USPS’s actions could disrupt mail voting for the midterms.

Buttigieg: We didn't know it, but we've all been trusting our lives to the restraint of whoever the president might be. And now we have a president who is completely unrestrained. And so the only answer to that is a functioning Congress. It turns out we do not have a functioning Congress.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

The fact that this administration has been so obstructive about allowing visits to these and other facilities from people whose literal job is to drop by randomly to inspect the conditions, speaks volumes. Spontaneous, unplanned visits are essential to ensure humane conditions and prevent abuse.

We're suing ICE over the disturbing and unconstitutional conditions at Camp East Montana, the largest immigration detention center in the U.S. People detained there report beatings by guards, spoiled and inadequate food, lack of basic hygiene products, outbreaks of disease, and more. It must stop.

A Shark Tank investor just got a three-person county commission to approve one of the largest data centers ever built and the people who actually live there found out about it the same way you did.

Reminds me of the Easter event where Rump noticed a "reporter" who often flattered him and said "You know we're not supposed to be seduced that way, right? But I am. When somebody’s nice to me, I love that person. Even if they’re bad people, I couldn't care less. I’ll fight to the end for them."

Election officials need to be prepared for the Riverside County 650k ballot seizure to repeat elsewhere, one election expert said. “This is a wake-up call, I think, for election officials and judges to make sure that they're very well educated about the protections we have in law."

The Supreme Court of the United States is compromised and owned by oligarchs, and the passage of Citizens United allowed our country's legislation to be sold to the highest bidder regardless of how it hurt Americans. This is one way to fight back, state by state.

GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secre...

As primaries are approaching we need a candidate who will fight and end this Supreme Court as we know it and give us back a real functioning court. Without this we will be going nowhere.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

McGovern: He’s doing nothing to make healthcare more accessible. They say we don’t have the money—but we have a billion dollars a day to blow on this crazy war. I don’t think he gives a shit about the American people. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and he’s golfing.

NEW: After a top supporter of the SAVE America Act said married women and anyone who changed their name could face new voter registration barriers, backers rushed to falsely claim the bill includes exceptions. The reality? It doesn't, and would roll back progress on women’s voting rights.

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are “marching through the world.” They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?

The boycott of OpenAI(ChatGPT) has now surpassed 4 million. We’re also seeing many small businesses (and even some mid-sized companies) cancel their subscriptions. One of the most amazing things over the past year has been watching consumers remind big corporations just how much power they have.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.
