In 2013, the Daily Princetonian revealed that in 2008, Princeton University had paid to conduct a survey of students about sexual assault - then buried the results when *one in six* female undergrads reported unwanted vaginal penetration within the past year. That’s just under 17%.

Remember how this was a "big" story 2 years ago and then it just fizzled out and there's been no court reform? The political class will never hold itself accountable. And the media class is overpopulated by sensationalists and understaffed by journalists. Where is the guillotine of old.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Jesus Christ: after a recent ruling by the Eighth Circuit that allowed Act 372 to take effect, an Arkansas county has banned all children from checking out any books in the adult section, bringing home any DVDs, or using the self-checkout kiosk in its public libraries.

More recently in Craighead County — symbolically, at least, Ground Zero for the state’s attack on libraries, thanks to Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Jonesboro) — the library announced several changes to circulation as it relates to minors. In a Facebook post, the library listed a number of changes to library policies, including:

Minors are prohibited from using the self-checkout kiosks;
Children under 13 years old may only check out materials from the designated children’s collection, while minors age 13-17 can only check out from the children or teen sections;
Minors may not check out DVDs at all; and
Minors are prohibited from entering or purchasing anything from the Friends of the Library Bookstore.

"The US just legalized child pr0n this week" That's not... accurate. The lower court was bound by SCOTUS precedent from 2002 that said child pr0n that does not depict real children is not illegal. Congress did not close that loophole. It didn't "just" happen; this was never technically illegal.

Florida's Democratic primary is today and the gubernatorial candidates are all running as blue Republicans. It's a shame that it doesn't matter which one of them wins because any and all of them are going to lose when the state elects its first black anti-black governor in November.

NEW: Do Democrats funded by AIPAC pay an electoral penalty in a general election? We find that a Democrat funded by AIPAC performs significantly worse against a Republican than a Democrat who “rejects all outside financial support from industry groups and PACs.”

"In a Matchup Against a Republican, a Democrat Funded by AIPAC Underperforms a Democrat Who Rejects Outside PAC Money."

In this experiment, respondents were shown hypothetical general election matchups between a Republican and a Democratic candidate, both with a randomized source of outside funding. The chart shows how each funding source affects a Democratic candidate's average performance relative to a Democratic candidate who "rejects all financial support from outside industry groups and PACs."

Planned Parenthood funding is associated with a +1.8pp effect. Nurses unions: -0.8pp. Police unions: -2.0pp. Real estate development industry: -2.7pp. Oil and gas industry: -3.1pp. National Rifle Association (NRA): -4.2pp. Pharmaceutical industry: -4.9pp. Cryptocurrency industry: -4.9pp. Artificial Intelligence industry: -5.3pp. American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC): -6.2pp.

If you're even a _tiny_ bit into security and privacy, pay attention to this one. A court filing in a case against cyberhacker Peter Stokes revealed Microsoft's GDID embedded in EVERY Win11 install provided the FBI the ability to trace his PC across VPNs(!!) & proxies(!!) across three countries.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

Just woke up to find out Lindsey Graham is dead?? lol??? Most of you know him as the homophobic senator from South Carolina but to me he will always be the man who paid a twinky pre-transition college student ( ) a fat
stack of cash to do unspeakable things to him in a hotel room while he wore red lingerie

It is a canon trans event to have far right freaks bankrolling you & then turning around and voting against you. People loooooove to judge us for it but I never see them opening their wallets!!! Shoutout to s*x workers everywhere forced to humanize their enemies just to make rent.

It is an absolute mindfvck too me that one of the reasons I have any semblance of financial security (& a lack of student loans) is because of this man.

At the time I had no idea who he was, and I only figured it out because another group of twinks leaked Lady G to the media. Some queers tried to grandstand critique this, saying we shouldn't "out" people. I believe bigots with power deserve no peace or privacy, especially when they hold public office. I'm glad they did it. Icons, forever.

Anyway, if you've ever enjoyed what I do on the internet know that it is in part because of Lindsey's generous donation over a decade ago. If I've ever sent you $ for something know that was kickstarted by the now deceased sissy senator from South Carolina.

Lindsey, rest in hell for what you did to our community.

I will continue to love queer and trans people harder than you ever hated us. You loved every second of our time together and now everyone knows
