Because consequences follow for an abuser not ONLY to stop the abusers.
Consequences show each survivor that we heard the violence in their experience.
Don't only think about why an ex-governor harasser hopes he'll get rehabilitated.
Think about WHO BENEFITS, forever, by making abusers electable.

DOGE will almost certainly end up COSTING the government more than the trivial sum they’ve saved. Nothing about the way they’ve operated makes a lick of sense as a sincere attempt to cut waste or ferret out fraud. They do just enough theater on that front to preserve the illusion that’s their aim.

It’s not just Gambia.
We got internal cables, notes and other records that show how U.S. diplomats have intervened on behalf of Starlink in at least four other developing nations. All while the U.S. has withdrawn foreign aid from those same countries.

So yeah I think as a Democrat we should focus on pocketbook issues to defeat Trump but due process is a pocketbook issue! They're going to ruin the economy by fucking the most important asset for the economy, the rule of law.

Costs you nothing, .just drives donations. So go ahead - like, like, like.
And if you have an organization you’d like me to give to, add it and I will give there too. xo JF.

Meanwhile! I’m making a series of donations too, to a few organizations. Among them Legal Aid Society's NY Immigrant Family Unity Project; PEN America; @crew.bsky.social ; United Way; and some arts orgs in NY/NJ/PA dear to my heart. For every like you add here, I'll add $5 extra to each cause. 💸

Seek and support the musicians and authors whose art is not boosted by the algorithm, and the bookstores, labels and libraries that distribute them.
And then, please support the people and causes who seem in your best judgement to be making an ethical and transparent difference in your community. 💛

And your second-favourite. Buy yourself curry for lunch, take your friends out for the injera platter, and do not pass up the churros sold at the stand by the subway on your way home.
