@janecoaston.bsky.social has some great insights on faith and theology in the last quarter of this vid.

"The point of Christianity is not to win. The point of Christianity is that losing is okay, because we will win...in the ultimate end."

If you want the GOP to care about sexual harassment and assault in their ranks then you must also care about it when one of your own gets accused too.

Fairness and accountability, not hypocrisy.

Let partisanship in politics not revictimize victims.

You’re showing us you’re not safe to talk to.

since it looks like it's getting relitigated yet again: Al Franken constituent here, glad he resigned, his behavior was foul, his replacement was fantastic, if you're defending him you're fortifying a stupid hill in the wrong battle

Burning bridges with an abusive boss makes it nearly impossible to get work afterwards in the same field a at least not in a timely manner. It’s even worse if you try to explain at any depth why you left in your interviews for new employment.

If I never have to read some person saying "what happened to innocent until proven guilty" about why some guy should still be elected to one of the most powerful positions in the country despite numerous sexual assault allegations it will be too soon

General reminder that sometimes journalists can't/don't cover things because to do so would cause harm. Sometimes those harms aren't immediately perceptible! And sometimes this can look like not following up on something previously reported because ethical considerations prevent it in the present

Art becomes testimony when power refuses accountability. ResistDance shows how memory survives repression: bodies moving where institutions stay silent. When citizens must mourn through protest choreography, it signals a democracy struggling to face the truth about state violence.

“consent” is such a critical word when talking about this kind of story in particular- it can be deeply frustrating to know something you can’t report, but survivors absolutely have to choose to tell their stories for it to happen, for reasons that i really hope are obvious

If, upon reading about Swalwell, your first instinct is to doubt the accuser or invoke Al Franken, you should ask yourself why that is.

And if you’re a woman, you should read up on Franken, as well as internalized misogyny.

You have no idea who I am.

I'm currently working with the California Legislature to close loopholes to protect victims of domestic violence in California after I wasn't protected after I was assaulted.

Please sit down.

Let me reiterate: If you successfully convince women that you have the power to destroy them *before* you abuse them, you can do this stuff for decades without anyone willing to go on the record, even after reporters learn about it and dig. Without a victim willing to speak, reporters have no story.

It’s awful how many men are happy to use their positions of power to abuse others. As for continuing to work for him, it’s a story as old as time. Men still hold most positions of power, and women have to work for them. These are competitive jobs and leaving may mean you don’t get another chance.

how convenient to veil heresy in rabid, reformed calvinism. one may just poo poo the pope. well friends, we might witness a papal bull in real time; & one for the record books too.

those things come bespoke, crafted by master calligraphers working on a Vaticano pressed from an ancient paper mill.

Something I’ve picked up on in many years of reading statements of denial from people accused of sexual violence is that they often focus more on whether the victim is believable than whether the events occurred. Because those details tend to corroborate the allegations. So they attack credibility.

This reporting is extremely thorough and the allegations are horrific. Swalwell’s attorney is trying to undermine this woman’s credibility by saying she kept working for him afterward. It’s tired victim-blaming rhetoric. She was 21 when it started. I believe her and I hope she is okay.
