You seem to have missed the point. Sexual assault survivor statistics: Global: 1 in 3 women America: 1 in 4 women. How many women in Congress have been assaulted? My guess is at least 20, maybe 40. Very likely Nancy Mace is one of them. Rapists don’t screen their victims by political party.
‼️‼️
The disbelief & discrediting of survivors is crucial to perpetuating sexual assault in society.
It’s extremely rare to have evidence of rape & more rare to convict the rapist. Look no further than E Jean Carroll. Years in court & he still hasn’t paid her. Disbelief & discrediting survivors is crucial to perpetuating sexual assault in society. Wake up!

The disbelief & discrediting of survivors is crucial to perpetuating sexual assault in society. Personally, I don’t understand hatred toward anyone. Hatred is a failure of willingness to understand, forgive, and have compassion for another.

The hate directed at Nancy Mace is so disgusting that I suspect bots. Any actually human- shame on you! Clearly you’ve never been raped or assaulted & disbelieved. You would know how any graphic testimony could trigger real PTSD. Even male Dem reps were shaken up. Dig your heart out of the trash!

Americans are begging for Democratic leadership to get off the mat and back into the fight. If you’re a political leader in this country and are not prepared to fight with both hands, not prepared to make “good trouble”, then perhaps you should step aside and make space for those who will. #Velshi.

Better to wait & let it sink in, for more people to gain courage & care enough to plan to interrupt their daily school & work routines, & extreme heat days decrease. Remember: even Obama did ~nothing on climate till 400,000 filled NYC streets. Big numbers move more mountains- faster. Plan ahead!

BREAKING: Judge Dianna Gibson rejected the Legislature’s request to pause her own directive for lawmakers to draw new congressional maps, saying time is short, but it would be an affront to the will of Utah voters to let the existing maps stay in place for the 2026 election.
Good morning Bluesky friends, it's a brand new day! @judysgraham.bsky.social
Wow!
Is there video of that?
Oops! on re- watching, that was a 2nd cop who popped into screen and then left quickly. The person filming notes that cops didn’t do anything to the other delivery driver. Couldn’t quite hear why. So great ICE is stopping dangerous delivery guys. 🤨 Wouldn’t want to get your dinner on time, right?
The cop shows the ID to the ICE creep who uploads it to search some database. Clearly not a “targeted search”! Violating laws - racial profiling - as recently ruled in San Diego. DC immigration orgs need to get help from ACLU to sue both ICE and MPD over this type of action across the city.
Andrew, would you please explain somewhere (msnbc or an editorial - sorry, not all of us love podcasts): Why do judges make great rulings (CA v Trump re ICE in LA, or against tariffs) and then issue a stay that basically kills their ruling before Trump lifts a finger? Non-lawyers don’t get that.
The court staying it’s injunction until Sept 12th is infuriating. As with recent tariff decision, stating they are illegal, there should be no stay which allows the damage to continue. Let the Trump admin rush to find a higher court to do its bidding. It’s so difficult to make lawbreakers stop!?!
🖕The DC police!
This doesn’t look like cops “protecting” ICE kidnappers - more like a cop stopping someone & then calling ICE. Then the cop quickly leaves to get off camera. Is this some kind of kickback scheme going on between the two of them? Can’t help wondering.
One more image from Friday’s stellar sunset at Biltmore.
California refuses to be scared into submission by the small men in the White House. No one in their right mind thinks the Trump Administration should launch yet another failed LA militarization.
Ya think Screamin’ Stephen Miller feeds him these hallucinations of “things forming again” during breakfast?
Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
No doubt they will use ChatGPT, now famous for counseling a teenager on how to kill himself. Someone needs to sue the AI companies for attempting to practice medicine without a license. Before this gets off the ground.
Great press conference, Gov! But someone needs to replace the Mayor’s consultants! Yesterday we saw him speak out w/ energy and conviction. Today he sounded like a middle manager forced to speak at a “bored” meeting. Repetitive, dull & uninspiring. If you have nothing to say, then just don’t.
I applaud the court for today’s important ruling. The White House tried to invade the second largest city in the country. That’s illegal. Los Angeles will not buckle and we will not break. We will not be divided and we will not be defeated.
I continue to support a STOCK TRADING BAN because members of Congress should represent their constituents, not their own financial self-interests.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.
Yes, I sincerely don’t understand the point of a stay. If you’re confident in your ruling, why allow law breaking to continue for any period of time and make legal challenges easier for the institutional lawbreaker?
Newsom v. Trump: a federal court granted our injunction, blocking Trump’s illegal use of the military for domestic law enforcement. The ruling is clear: Trump is breaking the law by trying to create a national police force with himself as its chief.

More numbers: 800 Nat Guard in DC X $2500 housing = $2million per month to house soldiers taken from their families to serve as props for a Wannabe Dictator who spends more taxpayer $$$ than that on each of his precious golf weekends.

This whole thing is rotten. Who moves groups of children in the middle of the night? Human traffickers.
Just saw a video of Bill Maher calling Mamdani a “straight up communist” and I continue to be struck by the depiction of policies associated with the New Deal Order as far-left extremism, which goes along with a refusal to depict Trump’s unprecedented authoritarian actions as far-right extremism.
Trump ordered to put homeless, disabled and people with mental illnesses into "institutions".
Graham Platner, an oyster farmer from Maine, announced a bid for the seat of incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins. His goal? To “claw back wealth that was created by the labor and the consumption of working class Americans who have not shared in the riches they helped build.”

Imagine if Dems could take back the senate. (Long odds, I know.) Just the effect on the judiciary alone would be huge. Susan Collins has never been a moderate, and Trump has her vote anytime he really needs it. Maine has a better choice in @grahamformaine.bsky.social. Give him a follow.

“others don't even know what the words mean.” Yes, “Wannabe Dictator” is the phrase most likely to be understood and spread across political worlds. It also retains hope. Must assume 6th grade reading level and general disinterest in reading anything long if you want to actually reach many people.
Dems, intellectuals, lawyers like precise words, but ordinary Jack & Jill don’t care. Every American knows what “Dictator” means. That’s why it’s the one word Mr. T tried to deny & blur recently. He knows it would catch on. “Wannabe” means he hasn’t succeeded yet, there’s still hope.

It’s the guns, stupid
Funny how overreach by wannabe dictator could lead to DC statehood in 2029, having given Dems the push to make this overdue change.
President Trump’s deployment of military troops and federal agents to DC is not about increasing public safety — it’s a blatant attempt to abuse his power to serve his own political agenda. To truly protect the people living in our nation’s capital, Congress must make DC a state immediately.

The ICE agents followed my friend for several miles before pulling him over on the pretext that his brake light was out. (That was a lie; it wasn’t out.) They are targeting work vehicles driven by anyone who “looks” Hispanic to them.
🚨ICE agents are racially profiling and arresting Hispanic drivers in the DC area today, targeting work vehicles like trucks and vans. A friend who was targeted sent me video today. Here’s a picture that shows one of two agents before he pulled on his mask. Unmarked black Ford truck, plate: NTV9211.

A spark of hope for the neighbors in Pacific Palisades recovering from the fire. The story of how this place of peace and beauty was saved from the fire can make you believe in miracles.
It’s really looking like T meets with Putin to get his next assignments, right? A little mentorship on how to normalize troops in the city streets and disappearing innocents & dissidents without recourse. “Hmmm, what else can I help you with? Oh, right, eliminate getting voted out of office…”
My youngest made a friend at his new school. This friend doesn't eat lunch - doesn't bring one from home nor buy one at school Youngest shared some of his lunch yesterday and asked if he could bring extra for his friend, so now we are just going to send an extra meal with him Proud of my kiddo
Can’t help noticing he didn’t answer your question. Why the last will and testament?
Think folks at the CDC need a sick-out day Friday.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

It used to be $800. That’s the change.
This is mostly related to the big change re packages worth <$800. They didn’t use to collect duties on those, so most people tried to ship these smaller packages from China. Now T is charging and everything will cost more here in US.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
