1. Such respect for Joan Walsh. The issue for some (women) is that we have continually supported and elected men with a history of sexual abuse allegations against them. Our Supreme Court, our Executive Office, our Congress and Senate... filled with men who have not answered...

But, I, with my little eyes have seen behaviors exhibited by Biden troubling to *me* involving inappropriate boundaries with women and girls. Is Ms. Reade's story true? Is she a plant by the Russian security forces? How would we know? This story will *never* be investigated...

no one will believe a victim. I once had an intimate partner hit me and then look me dead in the eye and say he had not. For a moment, I believed him. I had an older friend who dated a well-known actor and SNL alum. She told me he knocked her out in their kitchen and when...
she came to, he was standing over her with a roast beef sandwich. A friend sexually assaulted by her college coach...too many stories.

We should not frame these stories as "who is telling the truth?", but rather, where and how do we create the opportunity for truth to be...
