    “We would need to know more, but if the video shows even what appears to be consensual sex it will be very difficult to get past [for police and prosecutors],” said Alcalde, who practices in Florida and New York. “I think it could really damage the possibility of a conviction in a criminal case.”

    Well damn.




  • I feel like this is part of a Republican long game - make their states so unpalatable to progressives that they move out, thus ensuring that the US Senate and House are never again under Democratic control. It’s like a for of self-imposed gerrymandering for Democrats, packing themselves into the few states with liberal legislaturea and policies.

    Of course, those blue states will continue to subsidize the red states through tax dollars and federal programs, but that’s another issue entirely.









  • “The representative told Taiwan News that the purpose of the defacements was to protest against “Google’s harsh inactive account policy” and to warn Russian President Vladimir Putin against using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine or jeopardizing the safety of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant”

    Could someone explain why Google or Russia would care about UN websites? That’s like saying took a dump on the floor at my local McDonald’s to protest the apartheid in Gaza.
