I guess the only thing that makes me happy about Kushner is that he has alllll the money in the world but he still couldn’t help fucking up his own face.

l've been a SA advocate for decades:
NEVER go to campus resources for a SA. Call a rape care hotline/program (off campus), get a SA advocate (they're free), go to a SART hospital for care (and evidence collection if you choose).
They activate the police. Schools have NO business in this process and will minimize and bury it. It's a criminal matter, not an administrative matter.
Period. No exceptions.

I am so sorry, but who the *fck* could this possibly be applying to? If someone has been trafficked into committing bestiality against their will, is the FBI really where they need to work? Is there a direct pipeline into law enforcement of people who have been *victims* of this??

Yikes, if this is accurate, its basically the owner class using their power to shut down dissent. The Patriots Robert Kraft told Sheerhan his concert would be cancelled if Mackelmore stayed on the your, and that other stadium owners would follow suit.

Sickening that corporate media has been directed by their billionaire handlers to ask every Democrat about the DSA platform in an effort to divide the party, instead of the GOP platform of kidnapping, starvation, murder, and death.

Trump allies himself w/Kim Jong Un against South Korea: “Based on my very good relationship w/Kim Jong Un, I am not happy that the US has agreed to Joint Military Exercises…I recently asked the President of SK if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of Iran, & they said, ‘No thanks!’”
Trump allies himself with totalitarian dictator Kim Jong Un against South Korea: “Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful … While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, ‘No thanks!’”

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

Trump administration will pay German energy firm RWE $1.22 billion to abandon plans to build wind farms off the coasts of New York, California and Louisiana. Including this project, the government has so far spent roughly $3.9 billion to get companies to terminate 12 offshore wind leases

I'm glad that media are talking about this now. It should've happened a long time ago (as these articles demonstrate, this has been going on since early in this administration), but it puts the clear point on the GOP cruelty. Death by bureaucracy and incompetence.

Well, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories

One buyout firm quietly collected Pyrex, Corelle, Instant Pot, and Oneida. Farberware is a name on a 200-year lease. And the pans still worth buying.
