My God.
MEGYN KELLY (HOST): No one will even consider the possibility that this woman made a decision to get it on with four men total, not seven, and enjoyed it because — I'm just going to be honest, she's not the most attractive gal. She's extremely beefy in her arms and her legs. She has a whole video online talking about her cankles. And she possibly enjoyed being admired. This is how women make these mistakes. Admired, wanted, some women even foolishly say loved by these guys at Cornell. But this is probably a first for her. She's probably thrilled to be so admired because she clearly didn't grow up the incredibly beautiful one.

I'm not trying to be insulting. I'm just trying to tell you the narrative that is likely to have occurred here, in my opinion. And why can't we account for that possibility? That the girl who was never the most sought after suddenly had four guys who wanted to have sex with her. And she counted this, yeah, in her inebriated state, as a win and liked the feeling of being sexy and desired and wanted. It happens. Sorry, it does. And that's why she kept saying yes. 

Why do we have to go right to she's a victim? Even she took weeks to get there. It wasn't until they told her she couldn't go to the party. We all know that. Right? This is so disempowering to all of womankind, to all of us, to our daughters. We are capable of making decisions. She made the decision to drink and then show up at a fraternity house at 11 o'clock.

Dug into this and her name seems to be Zhao Jing. She’s being held at Adelanto. A habeas lawsuit was filed at 11:05 AM Pacific today. On X, a user said Ms. Zhao had taught her son. As to why ICE arrested her, no idea. Most likely she’s a pending asylum applicant who got stuck in backlogs for years.

Her name is Zhao Jing, and my heart broke when I heard her shout "Jing Zhao." Because I saw terror, helplessness, and despair on her face, which shattered me. I never imagined I'd see her in such a way. I still have her contact information; I have her email records. She was once my eldest son's early intervention teacher, with extremely fluent English close to native speaker level, and a senior staff member at that institution—a team-leading Supervisor. She's even from the same hometown as me. For someone in her situation, do you have any advice?郑存柱 @cunzhuzheng.2h

Recent Progress:
Last night, a friend of this lady reached out to me, asking for my help. Early this morning, I got in touch with Ms. Zhao by phone. After our conversation, I obtained her specific details. That friend had helped top up her phone credit. Since her father doesn't know how to answer calls from the immigration detention center, I also found a kind-hearted friend to go to her residence, visit her elderly father, and promptly check on his health condition.
I immediately drafted a writ of habeas corpus, handed it to the lawyer for review, and have now uploaded it to the federal court for official filing.
I hope she can redain her freedom soon.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

It's been a hot minute since I was traveling (or living) abroad, but I do have quite the collection of museum displays, store signage, and menu text. Menus are my favorites, because what is translated as awkward poetry in signs is often... not so poetic on menus.
Menu written in Chinese with English translation under each line. Literally every single dish on the menu has been translated as "Italian meat sauce face." The section heading for soup has been correctly translated as soup. In the corner is an illustration of a stereotypical chef with the hat and white coat and red kerchief at the neck. He has a mustache and is grinning while holding a tray of food. He is leaning back in a way that suggests his torso is not properly connected to his legs. At his feet is the single English word, "work."Photo of a menu page that I took while living in Beijing around 2013 or so. The dish is a bunch of brown cubes in a red oily sauce, with strips of red pepper and one decorative sprig of parsley on top. It costs 28 RMB and the English translation of the dish is "Bloody battle." It's actually a jellied pig's blood dish, which I once described to someone as, "Like blood pudding, but jigglier."Menu item written in Chinese, with a photo of the dish that is a bright red broth with bits of fish and vegetables. The dish has been translated to English as "Cannot Take This Anymore." I took this photo at a restaurant in Beijing in 2014-ish, and for the record I did not order this so I can't confirm just how dangerous the broth was.Lunch menu photographed at a restaurant in Beijing in 2013. The English text is larger, with the Chinese text below. The list of dishes from top to bottom are: Traditional tomato sausage surface (actually spaghetti); Spanish Merlot sauce beef with rice (actually a sort of marsala); Venice bacteria Italian rice (actually risotto); Rome vegetable soup; Mexican beef cheese cornflakes (actually nachos). It was located near a business district, so this was an attempt to bring in foreign office workers.
