Laurence Tribe – the world's foremost authority on constitutional law – wrote:

18 USC §641 authorizes 10-years in prison for anyone who “knowingly converts to his use … any record of the United States.”
Conversion means taking another’s property intending to use it for oneself. That’s the simplest crime to charge against [DFG], and it ensures trial in DC.

It always annoys me how, whenever a major public figure is exposed as a sex pest the people who knew all along are never held accountable.

Enablers are part of the problem and we need to stop pretending otherwise.

Sitting here in the waiting room to get setup for my test. They're calling code blue over the PA. You never know how your day is going to go CoSo. Check in with the people you care about.

What I do know is that rights can be lost if we don't exercise them. Like Voting. If we don't turn out the vote in numbers too large to conceal, we can expect state Republicans to use the laws they passed after the 2020 elections to steal this one from us.

New members, be sure to check out the 3-dot menu at the bottom of your toots. It includes an option to "delete and re-draft", or edit. If you want to correct spelling or rephrase something, you can remove it from view, edit it, and republish it.
That's just one feature of CoSo you won't find at that other site.

i just read this & wanted to share:

my father used to buy goods from poor people at high prices, even though he didn't need the things. sometimes he paid more for them. one day, i asked him "why are you doing this, dad?" then my father replied: "it's charity wrapped in dignity, son."

Unaware, earlier today I cut my finger and bled on my white cardigan. I had no clue until I saw the evidence and was “wth?! 👀”

It’s such a perfect metaphor—

How often do we, not cognizant of our own injuries, cause accidental harm?

How to prevent this?

Idk…take better care of ourselves, maybe? Pause to check on our own well-being?

Parents… grandparents.

We must guide the next generations ….

We must be especially mindful of teaching girls how to navigate a world that is often hostile to them.
