That wasn’t fear for his life that was rage. She wasn’t intimidated enough by him and it pissed him off. Anyone who has ever tried to deescalate with a bully or abuser by abruptly leaving and got “Don’t you walk away from me” rage in return knows what I’m talking about.
Senator Bae framing this in stark moral terms, like EVIL, is apt
“Michelle Obama is one of the most dignified people one could ever meet… This idea that Black women aren’t really women and Black people aren’t really people harkens to the darkest days in our country’s history.”

“All four rape charges involved women who had been either asleep or incapacitated at the time.”
The amount of men willing to drug and rape unconscious women is truly terrifying.
Sleep porn.
Group rape chats.
Gisele Pelicot’s ten year ordeal.
We are not angry enough.

I am begging the internet to stop showing me "5-to-9 morning routines" where someone drinks structured water, journals for an hour, and ice plunges before sunrise.
My morning routine is hitting snooze until the fear of homelessness physically drags me out of bed. That’s it. That’s the routine.

When people in Washington lower their voices and say, “Please don’t use my name. I’m afraid he’ll come after my family’s livelihood,” it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.

Empathy is a dogma killer. That's why MAGA Christians are going so hard against it. The moment you get close enough to someone to see their humanity, it's much harder to hate them. And MAGA needs their followers to hate the "other." So they demonize empathy, convince their base to ignore empathetic instincts in the face of inhumane policy and BOOM- their dogmatic ideology is protected.

“Michelle Obama is a man” was one of the first conspiracy theories I heard as a teen. It ended up being how I realized that a lot of Republicans were actually REALLY racist.

one thing that I absolutely LOVE ab the show is the fact that we can finally see (IN the mcu) how lovable Loki is. even the people who were supposed to hunt him down eventually grew fond of him, they couldn’t help but love him despite his reputation. I think this is so important

When I was young I really thought things were bad because solutions were complicated
Now that I'm old and realize things are bad because solutions are simple but will inconvenience affluent people (or those who aspire to be) and the religious fanatics.
