Big news in the Senate battle. After pouring $30 million in NC, John Thune's GOP SuperPAC stops spending there, effectively conceding Cooper is likely to win. And they're dumping their first 7-figures in Kansas. (Note: a Dem internal found Hamilton up today.) www.semafor.com/article/10/0...

The 988 hotline's LGBTQ+ youth services have been returned over a year after the Trump administration shut it down. Advocates say this is a crucial step to address a growing mental health crisis among LGBTQ+ youth. bit.ly/3TAna4Y
Colorful artwork showing two hands holding phones, with a rainbow emerging from the screens. Text reads: "A critical suicide prevention hotline for LGBTQ+ youth is back. LGBTQ+ young people can once again press 3 after calling 988 to be connected with specially trained counselors."

If you've willingly consumed alcohol, a NY law makes it extraordinarily difficult to prove that you were unable to consent to sex. That includes situations where a victim is slurring words or falling down. Advocates say the law was critical in a DA's decision to decline prosecution at Cornell.

The loophole that likely doomed the Cornell rape case before it even started
Accusers who voluntarily drink have little protection under an antiquated law many see as "victim-blaming."

100% endorse this thread. I teach consent, violence prevention & bystander intervention for a living - It is my area of expertise. There is *no* evidence of the existence of an "Oops, my bad!" rapist. "Sexual assault is a miscommunication" is a myth without any evidence. It is an intentional act.

I'm including a screenshot because I have a feeling this will get deleted or blocked. I do find it interesting that, in the metaphor, the victim is the only one who has agency. The perpetrators don't have agency. They're just "leopards" doing what they naturally do. "Who could blame them?" I can!
User @phdfrog.bsky.social posted at 4:38 PM on September 25, 2026:

This is terrible, but I have to think the victim bears some responsibility here, too.  It's like she walked into the leopard cage and didn't expect that the leopards would try to eat her face.  1/3

The people quoted in the Atlantic story are not "Trump advisors." They're professional election denier cranks that even the rest of the administration is actively shunning. Trump is not going to declare martial law and cancel the election. That doesn't exist in this country.

Read this again when someone tells you that the democrats are gearing up to go transphobic or don’t fight for us.
Do they settle because it costs a lot of money to litigate? Because they're at risk of losing federal funding? What are the ways that the Justice Department is able to coerce these hospitals?
Rep. Grace Meng: I mean, all of the above, right? I'm the top Democrat on the Appropriations
subcommittee that oversees all the DOJ funding. And we have seen this as we've been negotiating our budgets with them. They tried to include over 50 anti-GBTQ riders, what we call poison pills, into the budget. And we, as House Democrats, were able to take them all out. But they wanted to insert 52 pieces of wording and legislation that would have restricted medically necessary health care for transgender people, basically allowing taxpayer-funded discrimination against same-sex couples, blocking any non-discriminatory and DEl-type efforts.
But they are persistent, so they try it through the budget process, and they can't do that. Obviously, they're trying to cheat by coercing these hospitals:

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.
The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.
