🇫🇷 #France's National Assembly on Thursday approved a bill to define rape as any non-consensual sexual act, paving the way for its final adoption by the Senate next week.
The move comes after the shocking case of Gisele #Pelicot reignited a debate over consent in the country.
You know what, I'm grateful for those 'elderly white hippies' protesting in DC because if Black DC residents come out to protest, this administration would label it a riot, arrest them and charged them with anything to push their agenda that crime is 'out of control in DC'

@airfrance I did that. The agent refused to / could not provide any additional information. They directed us to the Customer Service email address that no one responds to. Please advise how to get a proper response from an AF Customer Service agent. @OneMileataTime@garyleff@AirFranceUS

📣🇭🇺 Young anti-Orbán protesters cheer as police back off, letting them occupy Budapest’s Liberty Bridge, shouting “criminals” & “fascists” at the regime.
Not-so-fun fact: Hotel Gellért, at the bridge’s Buda end, is already owned by Viktor Orbán’s family, like many other hotels.
The fact that these demonstrations are in support of LGBTQI rights in Hungary WHILE waving the Hungarian flags (which has been appropriated by the right/extreme right) is massive.
