Talarico tells such an insidious political lieβthat βwe all want the same thing.β Like hell we do.
As a former state representativeβthe same job he has nowβI know damn well he knows thatβs a lie.

the surname Dolezal.
itβs not that I feel beholden to him, itβs just out of respect for what heβs managing right now. (I only meant dinner as an example of how excited he was for me to get to know his community members.βΊοΈ)

I didnβt even recognize her to be an actress. I will definitely actively look to check her out.

A world without child sexual abuse is winnableβbut few have organized around this at scale. This vacuum has allowed right-wing and carceral liberal forces to use the Epstein case to push intensified criminalization, policing, & prisons, including efforts to further criminalize the sex industry."
