Like this man I feel like everyone has forgotten about Melissa Hortman,her husband Mark & her Service dog Gilbert who were killed by a Trump Supporter in their home. It’s been over 9 months & nobody talks about her or the man who killed them.Where’s the Justice for Renee & Alex!

Once again MAGA is in my comments telling me that Trump will sue me for calling him a pedophile. So I just wanted to make one thing perfectly fucking clear: Donald Trump is a pedophile

This is former Utah judge Kevin Christensen, charged with 8 counts of child sexual abuse. He's pled to 3 counts, and faces up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Not undocumented. He is, however, an elected Republican official. Every single case he's ever heard should be reviewed and reconsidered. I'm hopeful the abused children get the care and support they need & deserve.

An independent review of 72 separate studies found that an average of 29% of men surveyed admitted to having committed sexual assault, and 6% admitted to having committed at least one rape. When they changed the wording from “have you committed rape” to “have you forced a woman to have sex with you,” that last number jumped up to 12%. And these were just the men who were willing to admit their crimes to total strangers. Women and girls live with the threat of rape and sexual assault hanging over our heads like the sword of Damocles from the moment we draw our first breath until our bodies are so decomposed that sexual violation is no longer physically possible. There is no such thing as a female human being who is so old, so young, so ugly, so fat, so dirty, so smelly, so physically or mentally disabled, so mentally ill, so comatose, or so dead that no man will rape her. Homeless women experience especially high levels of sexual violence — but no woman or girl is ever immune. The youngest victim of sexual assault of whom I am aware was abused on video even before her umbilical cord was cut. The youngest rape victim - and I do mean rape - that I’m aware of was two hours old. The oldest was 93. In my personal experience, I’ve worked with rape victims who were as young as 3 months old, and the oldest victim I’ve personally seen was 89. I didn’t work with her, though — she died of shock and blood loss on her own kitchen floor after her male assailant shoved two and a half feet of mop handle into her vagina three times, the last time so savagely that you could see the end of it protruding as a lump under her skin about two inches below her sternum. 25% of US women will report a rape at some point. 63% of rape goes unreported, and 90% of rape victims are women. You do the math. And that’s in the US, where women and girls aren’t legally able to be sold into marriage against our will. A girl forced into marriage may be raped tens of thousands of times over the course of her life, and none of it is ever reported, or included in the already horrific statistics on the sexual abuse of women and girls — the latter of whom make up 82% of abused children, even though preferential pedophiles (men who are only interested in children) usually go for boys. Girls are the favored target of opportunistic offenders, men who sexually abuse children simply because they can. In other words, the overwhelming majority of child predators are men who abuse little girls for no other reason than the fact that they are both female and vulnerable. They’re not abused specifically because they are children, but because they are girls. Now imagine what it’s like to grow up with this knowledge: to have to be constantly on your guard around half the population from childhood on. To live side by side with the beings most likely to violate and murder you — and who, when you try to discuss the subject, get angry, accuse you of either not trusting good men or being too trusting of the bad ones, and do everything in their power to pin the blame for their behavior squarely on you. Every woman knows multiple rape survivors, if she’s not one herself — and so does every man. More to the point, perhaps, is that every man also knows men who sexually assault women - whether or not he is aware of their behavior, or will admit to it if he is. Furthermore, I have never discussed sexual assault/male violence with a woman who didn’t turn out to have a story of her own. Not even once, not in 42 years. And you know what’s really gross? The fact that I can tell you these things, and your first concern is automatically whether or not I prefaced my statement with a disclaimer that allows you to tell yourself that it’s not your problem.

Canada wants the genocide on Indigenous women and girls to continue for unfettered resource extraction by the provinces. @MarkJCarney @MandyGullMasty

A story by @tessiesanci of @TheHillTimes. Inclusion Canada supports Bill S-228. It would clarify that forced and coerced sterilization is aggravated assault. We want to see it receive royal assent. Under Alberta and British Columbia’s eugenic sexual sterilization laws, which were repealed in the 1970s, at least 3000 people were sterilized. Some, now seniors, are following Bill S-228, including a member of our Board of Directors who was sterilized at an institution for people with an intellectual disability. As written, Bill S-228 would protect people with an intellectual disability of all sexes. This is vitally important, because people with an intellectual disability continue to be sterilized today. Ideally, we’d like to see the bill amended to explicitly mention disability, ableism, and male anatomy outright. These amendments wouldn’t change the substance of the bill, but they would make a big difference to people who have been sterilized because of their disability. Bill S-228 offers an opportunity at recognition and closure, and we want as many people as possible to benefit from this opportunity. It was wonderful to hear disability discussed at second reading, for this reason. Bill S-228 exists because of the strong advocacy of Indigenous women and we are grateful for their leadership. Indigenous women were disproportionately likely to be sterilized under sexual sterilization laws.

@mc_khristina Just another cash grab/food tax by large corporations.

So let me get this straight, I go to the grocery store and buy … a pound of sliced turkey in a plastic bag, a loaf of bread in a plastic bag, a gallon of milk in a plastic jug, a pack of napkins in plastic wrap, a store-made salad in a plastic tub, a plastic bottle of mustard and ketchup, but they won't give me a plastic bag to carry it home because the plastic bag is bad for the environment? 🙄😂

FREE ALL THE WOMEN IN PRISON WHO MURDERED THEIR RAPISTS. I said what I said.
