I talked to @nbedera.bsky.social about her devastating research into Title IX offices & new book On the Wrong Side: “There’s this myth men’s lives are ruined when they’re accused of sexual violence—it isn’t just untrue, it becomes justification for giving them benefits to compensate for that."

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

More women have been attacked by other women in restrooms for being suspected of being trans in 2024 than women have ever been attacked in a restroom by a trans woman in all of recorded history.
In 2024 more women were attacked by another woman in a public restroom than by a trans woman.
In fact I don't think any were attacked by a trans woman.

Starbucks extensively broke labor law while trying to stop Buffalo-area workers from organizing in 2021, an NLRB judge has ruled.
The ruling says Starbucks demonstrated a “general disregard for its employees’ fundamental statutory rights.”

The thing about the damning House Ethics report on Matt Gaetz, in which he is credibly accused of statutory rape and sex trafficking, is that Speaker Johnson tried to bury the report and prevent the public from ever learning about it.

Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner went to prison for 21 months for texting a nude picture to an underage girl. Matt Gaetz actually paid an underage girl for sex, which was witnessed by multiple people and documented by the FBI and Congress. Why is nobody in Florida bothering to prosecute him?

The Republicans who say they want to “save the kids” are the same people defending Matt Gaetz today. The hypocrisy is reprehensible.
