BREAKING🚨 Texas Supreme Court Rules Judges Can REFUSE to Marry Same-Sex Couples 🏳️‍🌈

WHAT THE F*** This is just the prelude for overturning Obergefell v. Hodges. And so our fight continues.

Graham Platner’s campaign thought they could silence me by offering me money and calling me a liar in the press.

I was going to let it go.

It has become increasingly clear they are unfamiliar with Maine women.

I hope that while she still has access to his files, she takes some time to look for private folders. He may be doing things like taking up skirt photos or videos of underage people.

2/2 It’s never been about the ID itself. It’s about keeping the process narrow...confusing...and exhausting so fewer people make it through

1/2 🧵You’re damn sure not wrong about the pattern, Katherine. Every time one barrier gets solved...a new one appears...closing polling places...purging rolls...limiting drop boxes...shortening early voting.

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

Next time someone asks me why I, as an assistant professor with a PhD, would spend my time researching the connections between games culture and larger political culture, I am just going to show them these two images.

I am 100% positive that if every voter had Voter ID, the GOP would find a way to move the goalposts. They don’t care about Voter ID, they care about making it difficult and expensive for people to vote.

I hope she’s already broken up with him. Unless there’s some consensual kink, don’t date someone who calls you a “sl*t” or “wh*re.” Also, waking or keeping someone awake is abusive.

History repeats

Jeffrey Epstein was accused of sex trafficking young girls on his mysterious private island. Over 40 years ago, a different millionaire escaped justice in a stunningly similar case.

Jeffrey Epstein was accused of using his wealth, connections, and island to prey on minors. He wasn't the first millionaire to be accused of doing so.

There's island where rich men participated in the industrial s_x abuse children.

These men, whom the authorities had a list of were never prosecuted. Many of the abused children later went missing or ended up dead.

This is North Fox Island. Makes you wonder how many more there are out there.

Not his first time. Also, he’s trying hard to cheat on her, hard enough to lose his job. He may be unemployable, depending on the size of his industry. She can tell him to stay at home and do the work she does (bet he won’t), and she’ll get the full-time job. Then leave him.

It’s wild to think that in six hours, 5,000 miles away, there will be people in Japan skipping work at 9:00 am to watch the Dodgers playing in LA tonight. The smartest thing the Dodgers ever did was to recruit from Japan: great players and an entire country is rooting for our Boys in Blue.

People are being massacred in Sudan. Decades ago, protestors in America were on the streets about Darfur. Now it’s crickets. It’s so painful to see what these people are enduring. And for what? So the UAE can steal their resources.
