The idea there are other victims out there and they can't go to the FBI or DOJ for help or protection is just so incredibly sad.

Blackstone’s Ratio: β€œIt is far better to let ten men go free than one innocent man suffer” is not in play here.
I would dare to say this administration thinks it better to let ten Innocent men suffer before one guilty man goes free.

This is a fundamental question for our country.

I think it’s time we started asking public officials:

β€œIs it more important to punish the guilty than protect the innocent?”

Because this administration has clearly made its choice.

We have to take a step back here and ask ourselves what a free society is.

Do we want our college kids filmed 24/7? Because the way some of the press was accusing the college for not having cameras in every square foot of the building and not having doors locked was almost as if they were blaming the college.
I teach at two campuses. No buildings are locked during day.

Can we rename Epstein-Barr Virus? It feels gross.

Or we could go the other way: Maybe β€˜Cosby-Bondi’ or β€˜Sandusky-Gonzales’ or β€˜Weinstein-Ashcroft’?

Or just go full-out β€˜Hitler-Hoover’ with it and call it a day.

Church for Sale He loved blaming the β€œDamn Protestants” for any misfortune, like when the rotary tiller broke down. Mom says his dislike for them was really about their ban on playing cards.

What’s Left (Dave Mainelli) (Seven Arts Magazine) Trauma has a way of changing people for the worse. Add that to a culture that told you to tough it up even if it literally cost you your arm. . .

One of the stories from my new collection about growing up in the early eighties.

To think you have some earned American high ground now is farcical.

Anyone with white Euro ancestors who came to this country via Ellis island or another port of entry pre 1965 should really sit this one out. They showed up and were let in. And now you’re here. They came looking for a better way of life and got one.

The fact that certain federal law enforcement figures wear masks to do their work tells you all you need to know. If you truly believe in what you are doing, and you are sure it is right and moral, show your faces, you cowards.

He yells, condescends, and reacts with hate to make sure we know he is right and those who think differently are wrong; a child with just enough ability to organize his philosophical beliefs into policy and is somehow one of the people running this country-and we are ALL worse for it.

Well several of his hires have already quit after only 3 months in the job. He’s been on 2 leaked classified messages. And his leadership has been questioned by several former generals and defense secretaries. I don’t know… why do you think I asked the fucking question? (Should've been the response)

Why does Imessage gotta rat me out when I edit, even before they read it? No one needs to know what I ducked up.
