Katie Johnson said Trump raped her at age 13. I believe her. She first met him at a party hosted by Epstein. Listen to her own words:

Imperfect victims and who gets defended
Imperfect victims and who gets defended YouTube video by Rachel Gilmore

Lets be honest, this will never happen to a male journalist. And if it did, there would be a massive outcry.
Because it's happening to a female journalist, main stream media and the organizations that are supposed to defend journalists are quiet and complicit.

It would be only fair to the reader to say frankly in advance that the attitude of any person toward this story will be distinctly influenced by his theories of the Negro race. If he believes that the Negro in America and in general is an average and ordinary human being, who under given environment develops like other human beings, then he will read this story and judge it by the facts adduced. If, however, he regards the Negro as a distinctly inferior creation, who can never successfully take part in modern civilization and whose emancipation and enfranchisement were gestures against nature, then he will need something more than the sort of facts that I have set down. But this latter person, I am not trying to convince. I am simply pointing out these two points of view, so obvious to Americans, and then without further ado, I am assuming the truth of the first. In fine, I am going to tell this story as though Negroes were ordinary human beings, realizing that this attitude will from the first seriously curtail my audience.

I'd forgotten how hard the preface to DuBois's "Black Reconstruction" (1934) went...and am saddened by how contemporary it still feels.

The most important thing @mark-carney.bsky.social can do for #CanadaSky is election reform so that we never have to worry about a Conservative majority again. Otherwise, his achievements are temporary. #ElectionReform #FairVote @markgerretsen.bsky.social

Democracy will not survive without strong independent media Trump and his allies are rapidly taking over our major news outlets.

Independent media once felt like a luxury. Specialized news subscriptions that provided in-depth information, opinion and analysis were costly and time-consuming. They were purely optional, even indulgent.

That is no longer the case. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

Doug Ford has two weeks left of his 15-week winter holiday before he and his cabal of Cons return to Queen's Park to continue destroying what's left of the province.

Maybe we should decorate the neighbourhood to welcome him back.

Single of the week: Lady Lazarus – β€˜PARTY!’ Lady Lazarus – the Berlin-based international riot grrrls via Sydney, LA and London – just dropped new single 'PARTY!', and it’s a blast of chaotic joy with a darker pulse beating underneath. Recorded in a converted underground WWII bunker on the outskirts of Berlin (because of course it was), the track captures the exact moment when everything in your head and everything in the world feels a bit too much – and the only rational response is to turn the music up and dance through it.
