#Metoo movement & the backlash to it
"The cure is not punishment, though a little fear of consequences can have a salutary effect on wrongdoing and increase safety and equality for those who were targeted. The cure is cultural transformation, and it is underway, as it has been for the past half century."

Note: despite what Trump says, this DOES NOT exonerate him or "prove" he didn't collude or that the outcome of the election wasn't swayed. The indictments make NO statement one way or the other about whether Trump or his campaign colluded or whether the Russian interference gave Trump his victory. The investigation is ongoing and the very most that can be said at this point is that Trump and his campaign haven't been indicted of anything YET.

In addition, three defendants were charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud, and five defendants with aggravated identity theft."

PSA: There's a phone scam going around that tries to convince you that someone has a family member of yours held hostage and want money from you. I got hit with this today and I let a bit of info slip and they ran with it. It was emotionally manipulative and scary. Please be on the alert and do not give out any information, no matter how minuscule you think it is over the phone until you know who's calling.
