What's the purpose of women's fashion? That's easy. The male gaze. Women's fashion exists to benefit men

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 1d

Paris Fashion Week introduced clothes that hid, confined, muzzled or even erased the women beneath. Some off-putting, sometimes cruel designs left our fashion critic wondering: What is the purpose of women’s fashion? nyti.ms/3W2ZfJ0

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

I hope things go as smoothly as possible. I know having a new baby is trying enough, but not having all the resources makes it all the more difficult. Let us know how you're doing?

There are a lot of words that start with those three letters, my friend. I'm glad you found the solution in six.

With the first two green, I knew the most likely place for the yellow was third. Those three greens meant a limited but still larger than five set of possible words. So, elimination word on two, leads to a three. Still that was lucky.

Worse, the for-profit press reports it as if it were normal. Bothsides it at the very least, equating it with the Russia election interference Congressional investigation, the secret papers, and felony counts against Trump.

MSNBC is reporting that the DOJ is seeking an indictment of John Bolton.

I can’t stand that guy, and still: THIS IS SO WRONG.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

I made a horrible decision last night and told chat that I’d do a 24-hr livestream if we raise $100k with these streams by the 19th.

So if that’s an incentive to tune in… there you go.

promises to do a 24 hr livestream if her campaign reaches $100k in donations. If you want an unapologetically pro-democracy Congress, please consider donating. If you want to see her stream for 24 hours, please donate to the stream specific url.

Treating ICE like the disaster and threat that they are. No different than an active shooter, fire, or nuclear attack that school children have drilled for.

I did it in four. After tier two, like you, I knew the starting letter and last two. I realized that there were like six words that could fill-in the other two letters, but only three of them were likely. So, I used an elimination word on three, and got it in four, too.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

We’re about to enter our LAST WEEK of our livestream fundraising experiment.

I wanted to prove that campaign fundraising can be fun and transparent instead of being reliant on rich people.

ICYMI, here’s how it’s been going:

These people -- including the for-profit press -- play pretend better than any five year old. It's unbelievable to me that we're trying to run the country on fantasy, wishes, and self-dealing.
