jesus fucking christ why isn't this a national story? they can cover twitch streamers for months but a congressional candidate getting raped in a politically charged assault barely cracks the local headlines??
i hate saying this, and haven’t in 3 years. but i am the one in the one in four statistic. it genuinely doesn’t end with what happened. it keeps going. and the perpetrator get to walk away, almost always. dealing with the grief is the most horrible part of it. even years later.
