Ana Marie Cox Instagram – Latest op-ed is up at CNN! It’s about the new Stormy Daniels doc. Produced by Erin Lee Carter and Judd Apatow, it’s surprisingly intimate and powerful. I had thoughts!

Stormy Daniels is the kind of woman who should scare former President Donald Trump the most: a woman who’s frightened but willing to tell the truth anyway.
To admit that you’ve been taken advantage of and to be clear that your safety and personhood were violated can itself be empowering. In the documentary, Daniels talks about how she now understands her compliance to Trump “humping away” at her as being a product of her Southern upbringing. “I was taught to respect and obey … elders” (a term that would surely and satisfyingly infuriate Trump). | Posted on 22/Mar/2024 18:01:49
