#Metoo ruined lives: the women’s. For the summer issue of Bookforum, I wrote about Christine Blasey Ford’s memoir “One Way Back,” the aftermath of disclosure, and what it means to be a public survivor when storytelling has proven futile. www.bookforum.com/culture/disp...

Yeah, the people who make the "I see you as a person, not as disabled" argument are really tipping their hand about seeing disability as disqualifying someone from personhood.

If they get rid ACA AKA Obama care or just the medicaid expansion and requiring insurers to cover pre-existing hundreds maybe thousands could die due to loss of health coverage. And they tried last time he was in office.

"you will outlive them" my guy thousands of people will not. Alito and Thomas already have blood on their hands after overturning Roe. Not everyone they have harmed has lived. Not everyone will live. They are killing people right now, today.

Given the option of going into Russia or turning himself over to the US authorities I understand the choice. It doesn't mean I like what he's saying now but I understand the choice he made to go into Russia and don't think he was an agent then.

He was headed to one of those warmer countries, I think Ecuador, and passing through a Russian airport when the US canceled his Passport. At point he was stranded. I don't remember how many days he stayed in the airport but he eventually decided Russia was his best option. Continued

I wish more people were pointing this out to voters in Montana. (Maybe there are some people doing it out there? Let me know.) Public lands access is one of the few things that has cross-party support with voters (rich politicians? welll...) We also have a significant % of Native American voters.

"too mentally ill to believe" is such a common criterion for someone being targeted for abuse and sexual assault that to my mind, it makes the allegations more credible, not less. If a man insinuates a woman is "crazy," it's a good bet he did something to her.

The podcast itself is from the original source which was written by the sister of Boris Johnson for a hate site. Again, None of this precludes the allegations from being true or should stop us from taking it seriously. But the source itself puts a strange wrinkle in piecing it all together.
