TIME’s Person of the Year, just announced on @TODAYshow, is the “Silence Breakers,” people who came forward to tell their stories of sexual assault. Trump was the runner-up.

I wanted the Mayor of PR to win but this is just as good.

3. tRump will be furious.

To think a bunch of whiny females beat him.

He probably thinks he's the biggest silence breaker, as he's covered for all the poor, pitiful silent billionaires!



Seriously, this is great news and I admire every one of these ladies.

6. Well one of those women on the cover (Taylor Swift) is well on her way to being worth more than him

11. Ashley is probably not doing too shabby, either.

That article is really good, particularly since it tells some of the stories to their final results. Also demonstrates the hubris that still exists in people like O'Reilly and that resort company in SoCal.

It is comforting to see some progress and this quote says a lot:
(snip)
We're still at the bomb-throwing point of this revolution, a reactive stage at which nuance can go into hiding. But while anger can start a revolution, in its most raw and feral form it can't negotiate the more delicate dance steps needed for true social change.

8. Donald Trump made it into Times Person of the Year issue after all:

As one of the accused.

10. Hah! He'll be relieved to hear that.q

Because in his decaying mind, there is no such thing as bad publicity, as long as they spell your name right.

9. Profiles in Courage!

Great choice - glad Time didn't endorse another genocidal dictator.
