A bunch of cops cheering at a political rally — in uniform — as the president and AG endorse a candidate and attack their political opponents is not normal. And it is not okay.

Thread. Rapists running a coercive sex ring AND transmitting CSAM AND inducing other men to abuse women and girls in turn. The alleged behavior is legitimately monstrous and it’s a HUGE deal that the Trump regime is undermining law enforcement to help/free them. Epstein in real time
The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

“But the bigger problem is how much of the media of ‘the left’ is dominated by men who appear to have no understanding of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence, but do have a pretty hefty sexist streak that they either aren’t aware of or don’t care to remedy.”

The Philadelphia-born Chinese American who tested the limits of birthright citizenship
If you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. But the history of Chinese Americans shows that this hasn’t always been enough.

Men's complaints today: we are horribly oppressed because a woman translated Homer. Women's complaints: see Heidi Blake's utterly horrific report on the Tate brothers' long campaign of rape, violent physical and psychological abuse, and trafficking of, apparently, hundreds of women.

George Washington’s entanglements with Pennsylvania slavery extend beyond Philadelphia
Trump's removal of panels focused on George Washington's ties to slavery in Philadelphia should prompt us to learn more about the lives of enslaved people in Washington's America.
