If someone had told me that in 2026 I’d be I’d be stanning the actor who played Veep’s Jonah Ryan in a relationship with anyone, let alone the actress who played Succession’s Willa, I never would’ve believed it. How’s he go from repulsive to dreamy?
Jonah’s staff finding out that his wife is also his stepsister kills me every time. Veep was on another level

Vivek Ramaswamy seeks to take political advantage of the fact that his opponent was raped as a child. But to his credit, unlike many other Republican politicians, he was not personally the rapist in question.
In other words, the Trump DOJ is planning some horrendous anti-abortion actions for after the mid-terms. #Vote so that a Dem Congress can stop them.
SCOOP: White House officials, led by Susie Wiles, have told DOJ to delay any abortion-related action until after the midterms
Wiles suggested to Todd Blanche that an aggressive approach on abortion would be negative for the GOP in November

The Tompkins County DA, Matthew Van Houten lied about what the victim of the rape at Cornell said in her statement to the Cornell Univ police and about why he didn’t pursue the case. He must be removed from office.
New reporting reveals that the DA in the Cornell 7 case straight up lied about Jane Doe’s statement to campus police. He defended his decision not to bring charges by claiming she described all activities on the night in question as “voluntary, conscious, and consensual”.
That made no sense in the first place, because who gives a statement to police about fully a consensual encounter?
According to new reporting, she told campus police “I can say with 100% confidence I was raped” and that during the assault, she “was being hit at the same time. Physically hit very, very hard."

I just learned via ABC World News Tonight, the reason Jane Doe had screenshots of the Snapchats was because one of the frat brothers that was asleep during the assault, took screenshots of the chats the following morning and shared them with her.
Had he remained quiet like the rest, we likely wouldn't even be talking about it now. I pray Jane Doe gets every bit of justice and peace that she deserves.
Everyone is saying he should've went to the police instead. I think he handled it correctly by sending it to her and letting her decide how she wanted it to be handled. I'm sure he backed up what she said to police too when she did report.

From the Cornell rapists to Trump, from universities to government, our institutions continue to protect rapists while women are left fighting for our lives.
Fuck that.
October 1 at 8pm ET, we make the plan.
October 8 we take to the streets for Jane Doe, Epstein survivors, and survivors everywhere.

One more problematic thing about the Cornell rape case: The DA did not prosecute the case based on the info from the Cornell University Police Department. But, the Cornell PD works for the University and isn't an actual municipal police department - that would be the Ithaca P.D.

Uh, Hasbro? This is so disturbing. You released a Gwen Stacy doll that lets you swap her head for Mary Jane’s. (They are Spider-Man’s 2 main love interests.) Really sends a healthy message to little kids about women’s individuality.

My heart broke for John at the hospital when he realized that Zoe let him burn just to force him into her service. And the call with his parents?! Ugh. Has anybody in that man’s life not used him? When he put the ring on the table & walked away, I cheered. #Lanterns
The deaths we all predicted are happening. Heartbreaking.
