if you think allowing other people to marry the person of their choice curtails your "religious liberty," you're a religious fanatic who does not belong in government.

@yanisvaroufakis It's no better at many major corporations. This is how men behave generally.

NBC News: within 15 minutes of the Cornell campus alert on the sexual assault in November 8, 2024, tips came on to the campus police:

* the names of men
* the existence of a GroupMe fraternity group chat where frat brothers were discussing what happened
* two women at the house that night said the fraternity brothers assured them the incident was consensual — and later asked one of them not to talk about it
* a screen recording of a Snapchat conversation among Chi Phi members from that night, where one advertised “free p----y” in an upstairs bedroom
* a caller said one of the men identified was her ex-boyfriend, and he told her that he “had attended a party at Chi Phi” where a woman had been “sexually assaulted by several males and coerced into consuming ketamine and other drugs.”
And more.

Much of the information was never passed on to the Tompkins County DA Office.

A horrific strike by two Russian drones on a civilian vessel in neutral waters carrying corn and owned by Türkiye. Azerbaijani and Indian citizens were on board. As of now, unfortunately, we know that the ship’s captain was killed. My condolences. The fate of one other person is still being established. Eleven crew members were rescued, one of them injured.

Ukraine has repeatedly proposed concrete steps to de-escalate the situation and ensure security in the Black Sea. There have also been relevant proposals from third countries. But Russia consistently chooses terror and sinking civilian vessels instead of normal maritime navigation. Pressure is needed to restore global food security. And everyone who is genuinely interested in this must help.

NEW: Cornell faculty senate is preparing to vote on a no confidence resolution against University administration to their mishandling of what has become an epidemic of sexual assault on campus, per CNN.

Cornell students took to a campus plaza to protest the university’s response to allegations of sexual assault at a fraternity house, and the school’s main administration building was splashed with graffiti and damaged overnight.

One reason Israel wanted UNRWA out of Gaza is to get rid of witnesses to genocide: "With 13,000 staff in Gaza, we were extremely well placed to describe the daily life and suffering of Gazans....The foreign press is still barred from entering Gaza." https://t.co/o6fALkJn0e

I can’t believe we have to say this, but the annihilation of two major American cities — more than 5 million people — is not a “small price to pay” for Trump's illegal war.

Neither are the 19 American troops and 3,000+ Iranians who lost their lives.

Our president is unhinged.

Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak has hit a sobering milestone, surpassing 1,000 cases — the first U.S. outbreak to do so in 35 years.

The virus moved through communities where many children and adults have gone years without the two doses of measles vaccine. https://t.co/xDSzgjCZ51
