"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.

Young folks may think im crazy for putting this out there. But you may need to consider share house options. It's a concept that started in Japan. Where several working adults would put down and split the costs of a shared home. It gives added equity. And eases the burden of payments.

But ultimately, it was the UK's representative looking like a fraying sandbags with a face drawn on, with his feet on the table while a guest of the UK's closest ally.
That, indeed, is the difference:
Macron brings dignity. Always
The Brexiters are tawdry.

It's time to stop amplifying accounts who are Anti-Democrats. Especially those whose only lean is to constantly trash our party, when all of this preventable mess, is due to Trump and the GOP who control all three branches. Many lack political investment in harm reduction!

This is so familiar.
While I haven’t had this exact scenario, I’ve had similar said by people I thought were on my side: I should suffer more since I was already suffering. “For the greater good….”
Who made them the arbiters of goodness?

The number of people in the last 18-odd hours who’ve told me as a federal employee (contractor, so I have no guarantee of backpay) some version of, “well, you’re already fucked, so just take one for the team” has been really eye-opening.
And not in a good way.

What everyone should understand is that Donald Trump could just pay SNAP benefits so people don't go hungry.

The Senate passing a bill that is NOT the House CR means the House has to also vote on it. Dems are doing harm reduction and forced the repubs to cave and pass a different bill than the House. Now let's see what House repubs do.
Honestly, this is likely as good of a deal as the Democrats are going to get.
Reinstates fired federal workers. Prevents admin from re-firing them. SNAP funding for a year, and an ACA vote in December.
Voters are already blaming the GOP for the ACA - make them vote against it.
