I lost a friend over my article about the murder of Renee Nicole Good.

He was angry I called out the underlying misogyny.

He was mad I didn’t give ICE the benefit of the doubt.

He made it personal.

He told me my “stupid clown hair” is why people don’t take me seriously

Everything he said to me was dripping with disdain and misogyny.

There was no debate.

There was no respectful disagreement.

In under five minutes he had attacked my intelligence, my politics, my appearance and my writing.

This is not normal behaviour.

He literally proved my point.

Had I taken the bait I’m convinced that I would have been called a “f*cking b*tch” by the end of the conversation.

This is what MAGA is doing to men.

It’s emboldening them.

It’s validating their bigotry.

I assume this person was always hateful and misogynistic on some level … but now he no longer feels he has to hide it.

He literally said as much.

He said “I never told you in the past because I wasn’t allowed. Now I am.”

Why is he allowed to tell me now??

Why does he feel justified in lashing out with rage and insults over something that has nothing to do with him?

It’s because of what happened to Renee Nicole Good.

We all watched a woman get shot in broad daylight and there’s been zero consequences

We’ve watched rapists, pedophiles and abusers go free for years.

Every woman who’s ever experienced abuse knew exactly what Jonathan Ross meant when he said “f*cking b*tch”

He didn’t fear for his life.

He was enraged she didn’t fear for hers.

My friend was enraged I dare speak out for a “lesbian leftist”.

He was enraged I didn’t remain silent, complicit and demure.

He was apparently also enraged I didn’t realize he hated my hair and change it to please him.

Make no mistake, there is a war against women going on.

This regime wants to make us “less than”.

They want us afraid.

They want us in the home serving our husbands and having children.

They want us seen and not heard.

They don’t want us resisting.

Which is why we must keep speaking out.

We must refuse to go back.

My life is better off without this person in it, and thankfully I can walk away.

Not everyone can.

Speak up if you see someone being hurt.

Protect your friends and neighbours.

Challenge misogynistic talking points.

Demand justice for Renee Nicole Good.

Don’t cower. Don’t be afraid. Don’t give up.

A federal judge Monday ruled that construction could resume on a $6.2 billion #WindFarm off the coast of #RhodeIsland, striking down the #Trump admin’s decision last month to halt work on the #RevolutionWind project.

Judge Royce Lamberth of the US District Court for DC ruled that the #Interior Dept’s suspension order was “arbitrary & capricious” in violation of federal #law.

"We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are at the stage of active, enthusiastic commission of it."

Big Journalism doesn't get it, because it doesn't want to. So we have to rely on independent reporting that does.

Trump - a known rapist - writes to Epstein - a known pedophile child rapist sex trafficker - about their little secrets…

Republicans are covering up for pedophiles, rapist and child sex traffickers. It’s sick & twisted. Republican are covering up the #Epstein files because Trump and other republicans' horrific crimes.

Release the #EpsteinFiles

#usa #congress #coverup

Survivors spoke out. The truth is there. And liar, fraud, coup plotter Mike Johnson is doing everything he can to help the Trump White House hide the child rape, sex trafficking ring #EpsteinFiles

Here from Congressional Representative and release the #Epstein Files!

Just for the record, Trump can’t do this. The Constitution is very clear that the “times, places, and manner“ of elections for federal office are determined by individual states (though can be altered by Congress).

The president simply has no role in US elections (except to sign into law or veto whatever election-related bills that congress might pass).

@ArrestJK I know that area! Super-quiet. Real back of beyond feeling. World-class walking paths along coastal mountains where you can go all day and see maybe one other person.

More than priceless when otherwise you have to be The Zuck and own a private island to even get close to that.

Kerikeri is close enough that having industrial sand mining within view is going to ruin their ambience a tad. Jones and his A-holes have to be stopped.
