The sad childhood and adolescence, the slow physical decline, and now death by suicide of Virginia Giuffre – if it means anything, and it should – reminds us that the myth of the naturally pliant woman is evil and damaging. In the latest Freakshow www.americanfreakshow.news/p/epstein-tr...

TODAY'S MUST READ: Our friend @ninaburleigh.bsky.social asks why @realbillmaher.bsky.social -- and men like him -- are so untroubled by #Trump's vile attacks on women.

"These [far-right] men have been licking their chops for more than a decade for a chance to conclave and install a man more of their ilk," writes @ninaburleigh.bsky.social.

Ah, it was a knighthood. “A Supreme Court justice should not accept a knighthood, let alone from a far-right, monarchical, foreign religious-military order,” said @alexaronson.bsky.social” @ninaburleigh.bsky.social

It’s going to be a 4 long years.

Oh but Speaker Mike R-Porn App says the protesters are paid by Soros and the "real" voters are so happy they're staying home ...

HHS website devoted to reproductive and abortion rights "quietly disappeared" today per @nytimes, citing source who said it was archived as a protective move, so contents would not be “lost to history” if the Trump team took it down. Your body, THEIR choice. Sickos.
