something @srahrman just said that really really resonates with me: once again, democrats put their trust in police and law enforcement to ensure justice. they thought the FBI would come through to defeat a powerful man and vindicate a woman. despite all evidence to the fucking contrary.

The past approx. two years have been hell in so many ways, but I’ve also been impressed daily by so many of you that are doing the hard work each day. One person that is particularly courageous, a man with infinite tenacity and limitless bravery, is @AdyBarkan.

I know I’ve beat this horse to death but it is very very difficult to argue we under prosecute ANYONE other than state actors. We underprosecute prosecutors. And cops. That’s basically it.

You know which politician, more than any other, set the stage for Donald Trump? Hands down, Sarah Palin. Like, Sarah Palin couldn’t name a fucking newspaper and played into the birther Muslim bullshit and eight years later you don’t have the courage to say “that was a really bad call”!??
