  2. Seeing folks pointing out that not all women show their pregnancies. This is true! But caring for a bed-bound female patient of reproductive age would, I assume, involve menstrual health. Did no one notice she didn't menstruate for almost a year?

  3. I have not seen Bird Box and as a result I do not understand Bird Box memes, but there is a 70+ man explaining them to his wife and son next to me and I have never felt more ashamed of my ignorance ("it's like eating Tide Pods," he says).

    How about the children whose sexual abuse helped cover up? Any prayers for them?

    We know how best to help pregnant women and moms who use drugs, for their own wellbeing and that of their children. Kasey Dischman’s story illustrates how often those best practices are ignored in the rush to punish these women.

  6. Also um... it's not hard to figure out who was responsible, because DNA.

    Not seeing where wealthy, famous Black men are treated more harshly for *committing acts of violence against women* than white men. Where? If so, R Kelly is definitely not an example. Like Polanski, Allen, Weinstein, etc. his abuse was an open secret that didn't end his career 1/

    Chicago journalist Jim DeRogatis has been on the R. Kelly story for nearly twenty years. Here's just some of his reporting:

  9. This is not a "possible sexual assault." This is a woman who was raped, and a police investigation absolutely must identify whoever is responsible. (Also, how did staff not know she was pregnant until she was giving birth?)

    Wearing white for our swearing in was a small way we could honor those that paved the way for us. There journey might have been slightly different, but our struggle to achieve full equality is the same. Yes we can ✊🏽💪🏽

    “I realized it wasn’t the healing or reckoning they were interested in primarily, but the trauma.” this. 1000 times this.

  12. I would be fascinated to see a breakdown of congressional wealth by race and gender (doubly so if it were possible to indicate who inherited significant wealth and who did not).

  13. I'm actually not convinced that TSA makes air travel all that much safer or that many TSA rules have any reasonable relationship to security, but what this will definitely do is make airports more hellish and less efficient.

    So the guy who had sex with an adult film actress while his wife was taking care of their newborn thinks the lady who cursed once “dishonored her family.”

    If you are watching & you feel angry, hopeless, or driven to action, consider a donation to Chicago-based org . They work directly with girls & young women of color to fight sexual violence, intimate partner violence &abuse.

    Trump is, as we speak, telling a series of easily refutable, xenophobic lies to the American people. That does not seem to make people in the elite press as angry as calling him a motherfucker does. I do not understand that hierarchy of values.

  18. Blown away by how intentionally and clearly the women of this Congress place themselves on the twisting trajectory of history - whether that’s looking to women like Chisholm who paved the way, or how their own family histories instilled experiences & values that put them here.

    Ten years ago I was part of an attempt to get R. Kelly’s music off the radio during his trial for child pornography. We were ridiculed and laughed at. Happy to see expose his long record of abuse and the ways we’ve been complicit in it.

    This is problematic AF and I think you know that. Your logic implies unless every abuser is dealt with then none can be and that’s horseshit. All those men need to be held accountable. But it’s not first come first serve.

  21. Tucker Carlson hates women. Don’t advertise with him. Don’t go on his show. Don’t watch him.
