Everyone needs to see Randi Weingarten’s powerful and deeply personal endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed. At a time when fear and division are being weaponized, her message of unity, equality, and democracy deserves to be heard. Please watch and share. ❤️ #BlueWaveIn7Days

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Telling a woman to shut up when she’s asking about the attack ad you’ve backed calling a pedophilia victim a loser is like a turducken pf misogyny

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

I’m been victim-blamed over both SA and chronic illness and it seems so obvious the vitriol is desperately propping up a just-world fallacy in which terrible tragedies only strike deserving bad people. Casting blame is an escape from feeling real empathy or facing their own vulnerability.

One of the big findings in my research is that people invested in disbelieving victims are not swayed by evidence. Just like other issues of misinformation, they cherry pick irrelevant details to allow them to continue to believe whatever they want.

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Donald Trump has sent his DOJ cronies to file a bullshit lawsuit to try to steal a Senate election in Alaska. They will fail. When we fight, we win.🗳️⚖️💪

Swamp-dwelling MAGA creature Vivek's disgusting campaign ad is a new low, even for him. Sadly, it's not surprising coming from Ramasmarmy.(See, I just replaced the "w" with an "m", then added an "r" after the "a" & there it is) Dumocrats are SO much better than Rapepublicans! shorturl.at/KTVVr

🚨 WAIT A MINUTE: Melania Trump is now being credited with brokering a ceasefire in Ukraine by the White House—just one week after Pope Leo personally called Vladimir Putin to push for the SAME THING.

This is wrong: Trump and Republicans in Congress gave BILLIONS in tax breaks to Big Tech companies building AI data centers. So YOUR tax dollars are subsidizing their AI data centers — at the same time you pay higher electricity and water bills.

Republicans have dumped a staggering $160 million into Texas — and James Talarico is still leading. At the Texas Tribune Festival, the moderator went through the last 10 public Senate polls. Talarico led in all 10. That’s not a blip. That’s a huge warning sign for the GOP.

#NE02 You paid into Social Security your whole life. Wall Street-backed politicians want to cut it. Denise Powell will protect & expand it.

And where went the money for these lives in the balance? Money that our country once delivered to a world in great need? Riding a missile into a girl's school somewhere else. Or nowadays, paying a corporation to build more missiles, faster. We are the shithole nation. We are the global stain.

Yes. Gas. Cheap gas. I don’t know if you remember the gas crisis in the 70s. Too many Americans don’t give GAF about anything until it hits their wallet. People can starve bc they can’t buy groceries. But make gas unaffordable, and Americans notice.
