@drerincallaghan This psycho that wrote an article showing a picture of an amniotic sac, trying to pass it off as what a 9 week 'pregnancy' looks like. Last time I checked, the article (on The Guardian) was still online, and another defending it https://t.co/6VtA39cBQq
@kalezelden also strange enough to not care if their conclusion is (accurately) labelled as racist. That in any society, you have to be a certain personality type to break strong taboos, and that personality type may generally be an ugly one, even if the taboo is unreasonable.
@kalezelden To be either insufficiently intelligent to come to more nuanced conclusions or morally disconnected to the extent that they don't see the need to avoid overt racism. In other words, the type of people who are strange enough to break the taboo on discussing racial crime rates are
That it is controversial to compare Israel to apartheid South Africa just shows how far from reality the EU is. That’s the pre-2023 conversation. Today’s Israel is widely recognised as a genocidal state, which has committed far worse atrocities than apartheid SA ever did.
Let’s make one thing very clear: signing up for girls’ wrestling is in NO way a permission slip for sexual assault.
As @ADFLegal explained in our lawsuit: “Digital penetration falls outside the scope of implied consent to participating in athletics because, under normal circumstances of girls wrestling, it is not a reasonably foreseeable hazard from the perspective of a girl wrestler. Nor is sexual assault or groping generally accepted by society as part of any lawful athletic contest.”
Also: girls who sign up for girls’ wrestling aren’t consenting to wrestle boys. Kallie Keeler was betrayed by multiple adults in authority, who knowingly allowed her to wrestle a male without her knowledge or consent. They bear responsibility for what happened to her—and they are continuing to put female wrestlers in harm’s way through their actions and policies.
That’s why, besides suing governing bodies @wiaawa, @waOSPI, and the Puyallup School District, we’re also suing:
- State superintendent Chris Reykdal
- Kallie’s principal
- Her school district’s Title IX coordinator
- Her opponent’s coach
… and not just in their official capacities, but as individuals.
I’m also glad to hear the local prosecutor is reportedly still considering action against those who failed to report the sexual assault, as required by law. These mandatory reporters should have reported the incident within 48 hours but waited 53 days. They should face consequences.
We won’t rest until Kallie gets justice—and girls in Washington state get their sports back.
@WSJopinion Regardless of the complexity of the past Church teaching on slavery, there has never been a time in which the Church taught that they were not human
@sarkonakj Classic slimy political tactic:
> Make someone a sandwich with their favourite ingredients
> Inject a small amount of feces into the sandwich
> "Why won't you eat the sandwich? Do you hate cucumber and mustard now? Ungrateful scum"
@Cherniak Anything short of North Korea-like sanctions imposed on Israel is cowardice on the part of the government. No other country is responsible for spreading such mass death, destruction, and terror on its neighbours right now. The society is radicalized, it's not just the government
@AP Predictably misleading. Read Rodney Stark's chapter on slavery in 'bearing false witness'. And, btw, Kellerman, who is cited rather uncritically, believes the alleged change in church teaching on slavery can justify changing other doctrines. A wee bit of an axe to grind, perhaps
@BishopBarron In addition to the topic mentioned by everyone else, this guy has also spent the last few years running cover for, and defending, Israel's barbaric assault on Gaza.
@CatholicArena I would love an in depth investigation into the veracity of this. Some allege it's a different substance that behaves in a similar way. Obviously the faith doesn't rely on this, but it would be cool if it were real
