Topics:

  • Trump’s Wife Beaters:  This week, the White House was defined by news about the Trump administration’s harboring wife beaters and what that means in light of “[a]t least 16 women accused the president of sexually harassing them throughout the course of the campaign.” According to CBS News, “[l]ast week, during a press conference in the Rose Garden, the president called these accusations ‘fake news.’
  • Walgreens:  Jessie Meehan helped implement a companywide policy which allows customers to use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender policy. Meehan, a cisgender woman, took on the task after she was told she could not use the female bathroom at the Walgreens on Sunset Boulevard. Of course, the right wing is losing its mind over it.
