His victims got on the stand and shared some of the most horrific stories and he was acquitted anyway.
This is why I get so angry when people blame victims for not speaking up or walking away. Why? Who will protect them, believe them, and guarantee proper justice?

Perhaps the bigger crime than leaks that “could’ve gotten our pilots killed” is the fact that those pilots repeatedly bombed a Yemeni cancer hospital

If you're worried about the highly complex question of "should human beings have equal rights" and feel that it's just a minefield to navigate all the traps the right has successfully set up like "no they shouldn't", maybe don't become a politician

For context, the staffer was fired because he posted, "I just want a eugenic immigration policy, is that too much to ask," "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity," and "Normalize Indian hate."

Y’know both Musk and Trump have a lot of physical properties / holdings in the USA and around the world. Personal financial interests tied to places and things that are as subject to the laws of physics as anywhere /anything else.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:
1. Create a new $15B science fund
2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada
3. Immediate permanent residency
4. Citizenship after 2 years
Overnight a science superpower
