@JillFilipovic This is the same thing conservatives pull with autism or trans people. “This didn’t exist when I was a kid!”. No, those things just weren’t defined at the time. The numbers didn’t get higher, we just started recording them.
“And what I think is important to know is a lot of the increase in rape also comes from an expanded definition of what counts as rape, as well as survivors coming forward for acts that took place years prior,” Mamdani said. “And we are thankful for them coming forward, the courage and the bravery it takes, but just to provide New Yorkers with that context.”
In 2024 New York instituted a new law that, per the NYPost, "classifies rape as nonconsensual or forcibly compelled sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct or anal sexual conduct after previously defining rape as only nonconsensual or forcibly compelled vaginal penetration by a penis."
So... New York (rightly!) expanded the definition of what counts as rape. More survivors (thankfully!) came forward. As a result, official rates of rape increased. So Mamdani was... right and everyone is just yelling about this in bad faith?
I agree 100% with Congressman Massie.
He is without a doubt one of the best Republicans out there.
A MAN OF PRINCIPLES WHO NEVER SOLD OUT TO THE ISRAEL LOBBY‼️
@SeeRacists it’s in white “people’s” nature to be evil. It took 3 white cops to take down one Black teen who had nothing to do with the situation. How the hell do you “mistake” him for a white thug? Time and time again, white people in America prove they really are the children of Satan.

Mediaite: Jon Ossoff: The failed president, pocketing billions as he drives up prices, is afraid to lose the midterms. So, he will reheat debunked election conspiracy theories and tell bizarre new lies to deny his 2020 defeat and attack voting rights.

@hippyygoat Apparently United Airlines is not offended by the wanton killing and starvation of thousands of Palestinian children - some even used for target practise by the IDF...
