so why did 50,000 Americans flee to Canada and become exiles until pardoned by Carter? They just liked the cold? It was easy for a very select few. And there were some in that group that went. There were some that had no reasonable choice but to go, They made Cassius Clay a criminal.https://www.nextavenue.org/we-gotta-get-out-of-this-place/ Name a maga policy you disagree with.

It's hardly a myth that colleges and employers have used systems of racial preference. One obvious clue is their fight against the elimination of such preferences. Another is acceptance of candidates with lower academic credentials being accepted over those with higher performance. Interestingly and perhaps unintentionally, Asians are harmed by this reverse-discrimination more than Whites.

why do trumpers want autocracy
Orlando Buffalo replied to Joe Ferguson forever's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The next thing you know Trump will get the local DA from some small town to make up a charge from 30 years ago or possibly use the FBI to raid a former presidents home and then pretend he did not have the right to the info he has there. If he does either of those I will truly be bothered but when you are arguing the right for people to set cars on fire, you are stupid. -

In the UK it is 2 weeks statutory paternity leave for the father and then up to another 2 weeks unpaid. The Government has just announced a review though because I believe that is one of the least generous systems in Europe. Even as someone who doesn't have and doesn't want kids I can't imagine why anyone would object to fathers having time off with their newborn children in 2025. It's not 1950. I actually get much more annoyed by the next 16 years or so of "sorry I can't do that meeting that is literally my job but doesn't finish until 6pm because I have to collect my kid from choir/football practice." My view on that is if it is your job and you have reasonable notice (i.e. you know a couple of days in advance) then it is your responsibility to make arrangements. And as the quid pro quo for that whenever your kid is taken ill at school or falls off a climbing frame or whatever else and you need to leave work at the drop of a hat to deal with an emergency I will say "yep, go, we will cover."

Yeah, that's what collusion means. And again, the word has NOT been used in the witness statements. In other words, only the reporter is using it. The witnesses are not. Meaning the people who actually saw what happened are NOT accusing the owners of secret or illegal conspiracy, especially in order to cheat or deceive others. (Thanks for the definition of the thing they are NOT being accused of by the people who were there.) What is actually described by the witnesses is only a guy with some authority urging business owners to keep prices down. NOT secret agreement or cooperation to do so. Pointing out what's in everyone's best interest is not collusion. To further use your definition there, the witnesses are NOT accusing the NFL of having a "secret agreement to fix prices." Where's the agreement there?

Maxwell Hairston named in civil lawsuit for sexual assault
Sierra Foothills replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
For the click averse, below is the original Facebook post from exactly one year after the incident: Rebecca Hendryx March 25, 2022 After a year of being silenced while this case was ongoing, Iâm here a year later standing up for myself, bringing the broken system to light, and sharing the most vulnerable story of myself. March 25, 2021 I was raped in my own dorm room by a boy I had only met once before, a boy who was an early enrollee and had only been on campus for 8 weeks, a boy who was and STILL IS an active member on the University of Kentucky's Football team. The past twelve months have been exhausting, humiliating, and beyond frustrating. I've had to do things that I hope and pray no other 19-year-old goes through, but unfortunately, I know they will. Throughout this year-long process I have been forced to recount my story dozens of times, further deepening the trauma into my mind. I have been questioned about my choices, my response to the assault, and have been made to believe that I somehow asked for this. There is no right way to âactâ or respond when youâre being assaulted, or the long days that follow. Although there is no right answer, I did everything I believed was right, everything I had been taught was the ârightâ thing to do if faced with such circumstances. I stayed up all night immediately following the incident making sure I did everything to âprotectâ myself in a hope of holding my assaulter accountable. I contacted officers, friends, and family to make them aware of what happened. I immediately went to the University of Kentucky hospital and spent hours therel having an extremely invasive exam done on my body. I was escorted by police straight from the hospital to the Lexington Courthouse to file an emergency protective order against the perpetrator, which was granted. I was then met at my dorm room by three detectives who took fingerprints and photos from my room, but this was just the beginning. I then hired an attorney and began fighting for justice and protection. After a Fayette County Judge heard my testimony (and my perpetrator was given the opportunity to do the same) I was granted an order of protection for the next 3 years. I was hopeful. Hopeful that people would hear me, believe me, and fight for me. I was hopeful that I would be actively protecting other victims of sexual assault by my own story and trauma. That hope was met with dead ends at every turn. I was told criminal charges would not be brought because there wasnât âforce.â Meaning because I didnât physically fight back, there was no hope of accountability. My next hope was a Title IX hearing with the University of Kentucky. I was fully prepared for another disappointment, but I wanted to keep going. After giving testimony about my story, having my friends give their testimony about the story and letting my perpetrator do the same, I felt hopeful again for the first time in months. My case was devastatingly clear. I thought a small sliver of justice may be served. But once again, I was let down. Despite an audio recording I secretly filmed immediately following the incident where he never denied the fact I told him multiple times I did not want to have sex, and that he forced it, the SANE kit from the hospital, the dmâs between myself and the perpetrator, and the witnesses I provided, the law turned their cheek. I was given a choice and chance to file a lawsuit against the perpetrator, but money was never the solution. I want people to know the disgusting truth of what it looks like to be ignored, made âat faultâ, and let down by the system that is supposed to protect individuals against sexual assault. Iâve been abandoned and left to fight on my own by the University of Kentucky, Title IX UK, and mostly the detectives, police, and law. If perpetrators are not held accountable it is clear that it will inevitably happen again. There needs to be change. College athletes need to be held accountable for their actions regardless of the status that they have. Change cannot happen when victims of rape are being silenced and belittled everday. The heartbreaking fact of the matter is that athletes are valuable to the school and the University will invest in attorneys, scholarships, and time into anything to make sure theyâre protected. The University is alternatively willing to turn a blind eye to events that happen to non-athletes, especially women who are victims of sexual assault. Thank you to my family, attorneys, and friends for loving me and supporting me through the hardest year of my life.
