This is rape culture.

This is why so many people don’t come forward.

A young girl was being bullied at school by a boy who made AI generated nudes of her.

She told the principal. She told the guidance counsellor. They didn’t stop it.

Finally she hit the boy responsible, and SHE got expelled:
A Louisiana girl hit a boy who was sharing deepfake nude photos of her. She was expelled.
“This girl was abused,” one of the family’s attorneys said, noting that she endured sexual exploitation and harassment. And the expulsion “was like pouring salt in the wound.”

We need to be clear: innocence is not the line in question. People have a right to trial, execution on presumption of guilt is illegal and wrong. Even IF they were guilty, murder without due process is illegal, full stop.
VAN SUSTEREN: Can we certain that we're not getting innocent people?

McCORMICK: We are certain

VAN SUSTEREN: But have we? Can you say with certainly we haven't hit innocents?

McCORMICK: Unless somebody has information to the contrary, we are as careful about this as anything we do

1. "Barely legal" ick
2. 15-year-olds are not, by definition, "legal," "barely" or not!
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

I feel like the chart of how loud the calls for the Epstein files have gotten, how often he directly addresses "Christians," and his ruminating more about how he's definitely going to hell is a graph with 3 upward trending parallel lines.
Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

A good day to let everyone know we have submitted Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile for Best Live Action Short at the Oscars.

If you know anybody in the Academy who is part of the process, it's in the portal. Get us shortlisted and nominated.

An easy way to prove you, too, are not an elite pedophile!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.
