What do Blake Lively, Megan Thee Stallion, and Amber Heard have in common? When they spoke out about abuse, the internet rallied to discredit and punish them. A response pattern known as #DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) and the myth of the “perfect victim”

Bruenig is actually very wrong here. Ethically, we are expected to respect a patients’ end of life wishes and you can be sued for malpractice if you go against those wishes. If the patient never had a chance to fill out advanced directives, the next of kin/proxy have authority.

I love the idea that my chronic illness shouldn't define who I am and what I want to be. Unfortunately, my chronic illness doesn't agree. I can no more choose to have capacity for work than I can choose to have wings and fly. I am defined by my illness.

Guys, it's just been 6 months. SIX MONTHS!

If you still think Liz Bruenig is on the left after her latest piece denying Adriana Smith's personhood, then to quote Obi-Wan Kenobi, you are lost.

If the religious journey of Vance Boelter described in this article were Muslim, Americans would be scream about an extremist religious person who went on a terroristic rampage. But he's a Christian. So everybody shrugs "What could have caused this?" washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/06…

Republicans hate their own voters, example number 36,824. Trump is canceling a federal program that helps southern counties mitigate against hurricane flood damage. Trump wants his voters to have less so that his oligarch friends can have tax cuts cbsnews.com/femagrantcuts/

Also framing it as a sin instead of a harm against a victim provides a self-serving excuse (we're all sinners) & tool to reinforce religion (just need to pray more, be more devoted, develop a closer "relationship" with god).

A neat trick the sexual sadists are playing now is to call for the fainting couch over pointing out the fact that a dead body is a dead body, while simultaneously declaring Adriana Smith (& her family) had no rights because she's a dead body. Personhood is a game for them.

I'm also sure that the US government is experimenting on how long the bodies of dead black women can keep a foetus alive for for totally normal and not nefarious at all reasons
