"I understand why women are afraid to come forward. I didn’t call the cops on my rapist & I’ve never named him publicly. It’s sure not because I’m protecting him. I’m protecting myself. Nobody would've believed this trailer-park girl vs that Big Man On Campus," @donnerkay.bsky.social writes.

Caution: disturbing descriptions of my and others’ sexual assaults.
Release all the damn files. This is the ultimate test of this nation’s useless partisanship.

This sums up the verifiable impact of DOGE.
In the end, it didn’t cut government spending, and there was no promised “savings.” In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data.
Elon Musk should be on trial.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

Really great journalism here about the systematic health disparities faced by Black Americans
UMMC Assistant Professor Dr. Justin Turner told the Youth Media Project that Black Americans still struggle to trust the health-care system. He pointed to historical abuses, like the Tuskegee experiments, as a major reason.

Decidedly not a “peace plan”
The media needs to stop calling it a peace plan. It's a Republican surrender plan for Europe. Why? Because Republicans have embraced fascist plutocracy and Europe isn't.

THIS. This is women’s reality in this world. It is time right now to face it and blow this system up and burn it down. This will take all of us who aren’t actively working to keep it this way. Examine your role in allowing it to happen, then work harder to support the innovative bravery of women.
