Venerated advice columnist @ejeancarroll has written about Donald Trump sexually assaulting her in a department store dressing room. It is completely horrific thecut.com/2019/06/donald…
I didn't describe this as a rape because, at least in this piece, Carroll does not. But to be clear - if true, what Trump did to her is legally rape.
So I guess I'm wondering, how many women have to accuse Trump of rape and sexual assault before Republicans give a shit?

Why is every Reddit relationship submission either from a dude who wants to break up with his gf because she only shaves 6 days a week or a girl trying to find a reason to stay with her bf who hoards rotting mouse carcasses
All I know is I'm glad I met my husband when he was 22 and too young to get into some crazy shit because it seems WILD out there
Like, fucking kill me

If fertilized eggs are all "precious life", why aren't Republicans legislating IVF the same way they do abortion?

My latest at @GENmag

gen.medium.com/anti-abortion-… …
There's no difference between a fertilized egg in a lab & a fertilized egg in a person, yet women who give clinics permission to discard their embryos don't have waiting periods, mandated counseling or carry around stigma about that choice. Maybe this isn't actually about "life"?
This is v true also

1.There was only one reason for today’s press conference by Attorney General William Barr. He did this kind of shuck and jive once already. He did it again this morning. The goal was not to clarify evidence and facts. It was not even to clear the president.
2. It was to sow confusion, muddy the water, so that the voting public can’t tell what’s true and what’s false. The gambit rests on whether people trust Donald Trump. Most don’t. Most have made up their minds. I don’t think that’s going to change.
3. Remember Barr’s four-page summary? That sent headlines into the Twitterverse to the effect of “No collusion, no obstruction.” But the summary itself didn’t say that. The known facts of the matter didn’t suggest that. In any case, it made no difference.

Contently the middleman that connects rich and fancy brands with a pool of freelance content creators announced today that they're going to charge them 4.75% to get their own money and that is fucked up and bad. luke.substack.com/p/charging-peo…
I asked them why they think it's ok to charge workers to access their own money. luke.substack.com/p/charging-peo…
Perhaps they considered asking brands like Marriott to pay a little more for the service or perhaps they just said fuck it let’s put it on the freelancers they can’t do anything about it. Who’s to say

The past 24 hours seen an insane amount of news break about the Trump Org. To recap 1/
Trump's nonprofit Inaugural committee paid the Trump Hotel DC $175,000 (!) per day for event space—that could violate tax laws prohibiting self-dealing. 2/

1. The federal government has been closed for longer than any period in US history. According to nearly every poll, most blame the president and the Republican Party.
2. Donald Trump has not given himself a way out of the impasse, wrote CNN’s Harry Enten this morning. He created conditions in which his approval rating, which was stable but underwater, is falling rapidly. cnn.com/2019/01/15/pol…
3. There’s potential, I’d say, to erode his hardest supporters. We are witnessing in real-time a demonstration of a downward spiral.

0/ Want to know what's been happening in the #crypto and #blockchain space over the past ~24 hours? Then look no further! I've got you covered.
1/ 📣 The @MakerDAO [ $MKR ] team announced the 'Core Community Development Group (CCDG)', an initiative focussed on attracting more third-party interest.

Whilst not identical, the CCDG reminds me of Elastos' @Cyber__Republic & Dash's DGBB; projects w/ strong communities indeed.
2/ 📝 @dydxprotocol's short Ethereum [ $sETH ] - an #ERC20 token pegged to a short ETH position - got listed on #0x-powered @RadarRelay.

Can't wait to see what other types of tokenized short and leveraged assets dYdX can come up with! medium.com/radarrelay/int…

1. Now that Christine Blasey Ford has come forward to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of attempted rape, the various strains of social justice that have been circling around the Senate confirmation hearing have come into focus. The Republicans are between a rock and a hard place.
2. The more they push to get Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, the more they will deepen the impression that the Republican Party does not care about anything but power. And they will do this right before midterm voters decide who’s going to control the US Congress.
3. If it were possible, before Ford’s allegations, for the Republicans to deny having any part of the systemic fraud and corruption eating the heart of American society, it will not be possible afterward. Confirming Kavanaugh is tantamount to a confession.
