A lot of men are saying the Cornell woman has no proof.

Congrats, you've figured out the big problem with rape cases: Unlike most other crimes, there often simply isn't much proof beyond the woman's word.

If a person is mugged, no one's gonna argue they voluntarily gave up their wallet.

If a person gets assaulted, no one's gonna say they were into that.

But dudes text other guys "Free pussy" & "You can just whip your dick out"?

People are gonna argue she was into it even if she says she wasn't.

And I freely admit false rape accusations exist. I don't pretend they don't.

But how on earth is a woman supposed to prove rape if her word isn't enough & all too often, the crime scene of consensual sex looks the exact same as rape?

The answer is she usually doesn't.

Less than 4% of reported rapes, sexual assaults, & child sex abuse allegations in the US ever result in a sex crime conviction.

This % doesn't surprise me at all, cuz not a single woman I know who's been raped had her accuser go to jail :/

Even real rape cases aren't ruining men's lives……

"His second WHAT???"
"...told Pete Hegseth..."
"The clown from 'FOX and friends'?"
"...who is now the Secretary of War..."

"...to invite Jake Paul..."
"The guy from 'Vine'?"
"...and his brother..."
"he has a brother LOL?"
"...to lecture US military personal at the Pentagon."
"Is this some kind of prank?"
"No, it's 2026."

Trump says that Canada becoming an associate member of the EU is a hostile act, as if calling Canada the 51st state of the US isn't.

Fuck this fucking idiot.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

The alliance between Canada and Europe is not defined by what we oppose. It is about what we are for: freedom, solidarity, prosperity, sustainability. An alliance strong enough so that no one can dictate our choices.

Europe and Canada are each strong. Europe and Canada are even stronger together.

An honour to address the European parliament today.

I wish the Prime Minister never threatened to make the USA the 11th province, all of this could have been avoided.

[Former Republican 🇺🇸 @Sjacobs2020]

@atrupar Notice how this coward never does this to male reporters... only women and especially black women.

I despise the people that voted for this clown and found this personality to be presidential.

Someone has left this note - and this lighter! - at the Halifax grave of Maj.-Gen. Robert Ross, the British military man who burned down the White House.

[Gator⚡Gum @gator_gum]

It is funny that the US keeps claiming to be some bodyguard to Canada when in actual fact they're literally the only country threatening us, insulting us, and trying to harm our economy.

Wild.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.

"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.

And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.

'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

So many evil people in this world and we had to lose a pure heart like Dolly Parton. Devastating day for humanity.

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

Lake Ontario's name comes from the Wyandot word Ontarí'io, which is typically translated as "beautiful lake". The Kanienʼkéha called it Katarokwi.
Samuel de Champlain called it Lac de St. Louis.
The name Lacus Ontario was first recorded in 1660 by Francis Creuxius.

[Prime Minister of Canada @CanadianPM]

While we can’t control the storm blowing in from the United States, we can chart a new course – building Canada strong at home and diversifying our trading relationships abroad.
