A photo of the victim taken by the news publication who interviewed her for this story

Moreover, caption for that photo points out how she "fell" out of a five story window at her abuser's apartment and the full version of it shows she's standing on a cane, i.e. dealing with a permanent physical disability because of her abuser's abuse

But since the thumbnail cut off her cane and since you've still got a bit of a point regardless of the details I just added I've updated the post

obligatory Modest Mouse

Be nice or I'll stab myself every citizen everyone in the country.

Legal permanent residents, international students, etc. are all going to have to suffer American prices too, but otherwise yeah, it's not themselves they're hurting

Economic events that are bad for most people in a state can very easily be opportunities for oligarchs who have the money to invest in the right things. If getting a bigger slice for themselves means a smaller pie overall they're ok with it.

Was he supposed to raise his hands or throw his weapon away in the split second between when he realized the person in his driveway was a cop and when he got shot? I don't think he had time to do both.

No, people have been making it for a while because it impacts every new situation we can't deal with our other problems without dealing with this one. What's late here is the response to this observation, the observation itself is right on time every time Republicans do something awful and scumbag Dems don't do anything to stop them.

For what it's worth, these are just State Secretaries who administer elections, beyond technically being members of the Democratic party and putting that in the name of their organization they don't really have any connection or influence to what scumbags like Schumer and Slotkin are doing

That all being said, this organization should probably just change their name and drop that association because the time they have to waste explaining that they're not the bad Democrats and that they're actually one of our last lines of defense for having halfway democratic elections is just going to be a drag on their campaigns

He needs a t-shirt that says "If you see me running, try to keep up!"

Nah, this is wrong, lots of kids born in rural areas full of redneck trash are able to see through their bullshit. The problem is that when they grow up their choices are either looking over their shoulders their whole lives while being blackballed from every decent paying job in the area, or moving away to the nearest city where Democratic politicians are already taking 90% of the votes. Either way, rural red areas stay red, and they will until Democratic politicians find the spine and justification for sending national guard troops in and going full Reconstruction on these little hillbilly fiefdoms.

I'm not sure there's anything in Article III that would really stop him. They don't have the votes in the Senate to overcome a filibuster to legislation but it's not clear the Democratic party is willing to do those, so who knows.

Too bad the Democratic party didn't look into reforming the courts when they had majorities in Congress.

Removed Jackie Robinson's page from a Department of Defense website because of their war on DEI, then had to backtrack and restore it because Robinson was famous enough that even a lot of the MAGAts out there felt uncomfortable about it

Voters 50-plus put their weight behind Republican Trump over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. These voters favored Trump over Harris, 52 to 47 percent, according to AP VoteCast.

They were also a majority of the electorate, though that number differs slightly depending on the source. AP VoteCast, which starts surveying voters a week before Election Day in order to capture early voters, reports that voters 50-plus constituted 52 percent of the electorate. Traditional exit polls, which survey people as they leave the polls on election day, put that number at 55 percent.

Middle-aged voters were especially influential in tilting the election to Trump. A commanding 56 percent of voters ages 50-64 cast ballots for Trump, with 43 percent voting for Harris, exit polls show. The candidates were tied at 49 percent among voters 65 and older. The two age groups together comprise well over half of the national electorate, meaning they provided the critical difference for the returning president-elect.

Trump improved his performance among voters among those 50 to 64 by 4 percentage points from his previous presidential run in 2020, exit polling shows.

“The older voters showed up,” says Republican pollster Bob Ward, a partner with Fabrizio Ward who teamed up with a Democratic counterpart to conduct AARP’s bipartisan preelection surveys this year. “It was big, and we didn’t see any surge of younger voters coming out in full force…. It’s the reason why Trump is now the president-elect.”

Not sure where you're checking, but it seems like you're misinformed

Young people were more likely to vote for Harris compared with all other age groups, according to CIRCLE.

convince Herr Cheeto's finest that you're not a threat to national security.

Literally nothing would

I have, but I also have a touch of dysgraphia, so my handwriting is serviceable but really slow (like, the 2d spatial relation skills of being able to keep the different bits of letters proportioned to each other takes active concentration for me), whereas I can use keyboard without thinking about it

Incidentally, the fact that cursive was a graded subject for me in elementary school that almost led to me getting held back a grade probably played a big part in who I grew up to be (i.e. someone who usually doesn't like authority figures but does like misfits and outcasts)

El P and Open Mike Eagle are like the better written versions of my own internal monologue
