It is deeply unfair to me and the ~3/4 girls who experience this irreparable harm—this trauma—to go on.

I am scared. I am scared for other little boys and girls. I am scared for adult survivors.

I need @rokhanna.bsky.social or someone to affirm my speech is still protected. I cannot stop crying.

I am as a victim of child sex abuse so upset. I have spoken very vulnerably about these issues. I have sent a voice message to Thomas Massie despite my fear such a message saying that might land me—and him—in a political prison or worse. I once lived and worked in his district. I sometimes still do.

I'm so shocked Jim Jordan would defend an organized and violent pedophile.

I'm fundamentally hostile to capitalism, and I hope you'll join me.

I likely remain a leftwing authoritarian, and you don't have to agree with me about anything—we can debate and still enjoy a mutually respectful democracy.

We can't freely have that debate or self-determination in THIS system.

... Jesus fucking Christ.

The US is a 1.25 party system. At best.

Trump is a symptom—not a cause. I would support categorizing the GOP as an unlawful domestic terror entity, RICOing its members, state executions, and a Lasting Reconstruction.

There is one party in this country: the capitalist party

There USED to be a party in this country that wasn't pro-capitalist, 80 years ago

Its been pro-capitalism ever since. just the 1 party to pick from.

How's Tel Aviv?

This is superficial and materially non-factual, and I am basically a disenchanted Party apparatchik.

The Chinese are expressing greater governing efficacy and international legitimacy than the US has for almost two decades. Abandon your self-abusing chauvinism.

Yes. A strong "no!" to neo-Nazism, corporatism, and genocide are nothing but a purity test eliminating all but the most individually "perfect" candidates in a system apparently dominated by pedophiles, billionaires, and multinationals.

Oh. Yes. Everyone wants abused. Only you have the intellectual and moral clarity to be above the fray. You and John Fetterman and Hakeem Jeffries.

You just confirmed what you were in your last reply decrying. Go fuck yourself, you useless POS.

All I've had for fifteen years now is depression and increasingy desperate and reactive radicalization.

What a shame Fetterman lived, fucking traitor

You amoral sack of subhuman dogshit. 🤗

I don't think we will undo it. Or can. Or have the elected will to.

County school RSO cops came to a local Mexican restaurant that's new to me near my new job today.

I was seated in a booth to see them pull in, but I didn't have my glasses on or my whistle.

I nearly hyperventilated in a full panic attack. I was so ready to do literally anything. I was ready.

He—or they—killed Ivana, didn't they?

I've felt really emotional and on the edge about ICE and fascism and the Pam Bondi hearing and especially the audio recordings and reports about the concentration centers all day, and I caught "In This Shirt" being used for an Olympics figure skating routine.

It's curtains for me, dog. 😢😭

I am ready to put my body first. I have been a piece of shit my entire life, but when I die I at least want to be remembered as a bitter and angry traitor to my race and class.

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

there is a pain—it does ripple

The 19th: House passes elections overhaul bill that could make it harder for married women to vote

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️

Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote.

Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

RFK Jr. made promises to get his job as health secretary. He's broken many of them In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both.

Social Security Workers Are Being Told to Hand Over Appointment Details to ICE The recent request goes against decades of precedent, and puts noncitizens at further risk of immigration enforcement actions.

SCOOP: ICE is asking Social Security for peoples' in-person appointment dates and times, and SSA staff are being told to give it to them. From me + @leahfeiger.bsky.social + @zoeschiffer.bsky.social @wired.com

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.
