Harvey Weinstein in hospital with Covid and double pneumonia, his team says.
May he get the compassion and respect that he gave his victims. The viruses came in a group because they knew it was a bad idea to be alone in a room with him. I hope he’s very uncomfortable and having a miserable time. It’s almost poetic justice that he’s now facing the consequences of his actions. The fact that he used to smoke in the office long after it was banned adds a layer of irony to his current condition.
Intubate him from both ends. So how about them Mets?… Continue reading
Trump’s age has been a rising concern amongst critics, drawing attention to his cognitive abilities and physical stamina. As the oldest nominee in history, he has faced backlash for his frequent memory lapses and inability to stay awake during important events. The question looms – is he fit to lead a nation, or has his age caught up with him?
But amidst all these arguments about his age, it’s essential to remember the more pressing issues at hand. Trump’s disturbing connections to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, allegations of sexual assault, and his attempts to undermine democracy during the Capitol insurrection should be at the forefront of discussions.… Continue reading
As an individual who deeply values integrity and accountability, I find the decision by the Dutch Olympic Committee to initially select Steven van de Velde, a convicted child rapist, to represent their country at the Olympics truly appalling. The fact that he only served 12 months of his 4-year sentence for such a heinous crime is both shocking and disturbing. While he may have undergone professional counseling and demonstrated self-reflection, the reality remains that his actions have irreversibly impacted the life of a young girl who was the victim of his despicable deeds.
Attending the Olympic Games is not a right; it is a privilege that should be reserved for athletes who uphold and embody the values of sportsmanship, integrity, and respect.… Continue reading
The story of an American man detained in France after a chilling “So I raped you” Facebook message can be extradited, court rules, is not just another case of justice taking its course. It’s a tale of resilience, bravery, and determination on the part of the survivor, Shannon Keeler. Keeler’s journey from being assaulted in 2013 to ultimately seeing charges filed against her assailant exemplifies the uphill battle that many survivors face in seeking justice.
Keeler, originally from Moorestown, New Jersey, showcased unwavering strength by going public with her story and relentlessly pushing for authorities to take action. The fact that it took years for a warrant to be issued speaks volumes about the systemic failures in addressing sexual assault cases.… Continue reading
When I read about the allegations made by the ex-Trump staffer regarding the campaign settling seedy suits in a bombshell filing, my first reaction was disbelief. How can it be possible that such serious accusations keep surfacing, yet nothing seems to stick to Trump and his cohorts? It makes me wonder about the state of morality and accountability in our political landscape.
The fact that these settlements are made using funds from MAGA donors is truly appalling. Republicans love to preach about family values and God, yet they are willing to finance rape settlement suits without blinking an eye. It’s a disturbing symbiotic relationship where conservatives are essentially enabling and condoning such reprehensible behavior by their continued support.… Continue reading
It is truly horrifying to read about the atrocities being committed against women in Afghanistan by the Taliban. The recent reports of Afghan girls accusing the Taliban of sexual assault after being arrested for ‘bad hijab’ are sickening and heart-wrenching. The fact that women are being punished and subjected to sexual violence simply for not adhering to a strict dress code is a blatant display of misogyny and oppression.
The Taliban’s twisted ideology that justifies the abuse and violation of women under the guise of religion is not only appalling but also a stark reminder of the deep-rooted sexism and patriarchy that continue to plague societies around the world.… Continue reading
I can’t help but shake my head at the news of a man allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in Las Vegas, only to be fatally stabbed by a group of citizens who intervened. The details surrounding this incident are murky at best, with conflicting reports and comments muddling the narrative. While the urge to protect and assist victims of assault is commendable, the method in which this intervention took place raises serious concerns about vigilante justice and the absence of due process.
The initial reports of bystanders responding to screams coming from a shed, only to flee the scene before authorities arrived, paint a chaotic and troubling picture.… Continue reading
As a climber, hearing about professional rock climber Charles Barrett being sentenced to life in prison for sexual assault at Yosemite National Park hits closer to home than I would like to admit. It’s deeply disheartening to learn that someone within the climbing community, a group I feel connected to and a part of, could engage in such heinous acts. The fact that Barrett assaulted not just one, but multiple women is abhorrent, and the thought of him preying on his victims for years after the assaults is chilling.
The Outside magazine article detailing Barrett’s trail of sexual assaults and the lack of accountability he faced is truly sickening.… Continue reading
Donald Trump’s recent Memorial Day post attacking E. Jean Carroll is just another display of his despicable behavior. The fact that he deemed it appropriate to insult and defame a woman he has been accused of raping is beyond comprehension. This man, who holds the highest office in the United States, continues to spew hatred and lies without a shred of accountability.
It is sickening to see someone who should be a figure of leadership and respect using a day meant for honoring fallen soldiers as a platform for his own egotistical agenda. Trump’s continuous denial of the serious accusations against him, including rape and sexual assault, is a slap in the face to all the victims who have come forward.… Continue reading
The news about the American man sought after sending a horrific Facebook message admitting to raping a college student and finally being detained in France on a 2021 warrant has left me speechless. How could someone commit such a heinous act, send a message about it years later, and then think they could evade justice by fleeing to another country? It’s appalling to think that this individual, who allegedly committed such a horrific crime, could have been walking around freely for so long.
Reading about the victim’s persistence in seeking justice over the years, collecting evidence, and urging officials to file charges after discovering the incriminating Facebook messages is both heartbreaking and inspiring.… Continue reading
