Notably: Yesterday (November 25) was the UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. From the UN: “Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world. Globally, almost one in three women have been subjected to physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, or both, at least once in their life. For at least 51,100 women in 2023, the cycle of gender-based violence ended with one final and brutal act—their murder by partners and family members. That means a woman was killed every 10 minutes. This scourge has intensified in different settings, including the workplace and online spaces, and has been exacerbated by conflicts, and climate change. The solution lies in robust responses, holding perpetrators accountable, and accelerating action through well-resourced national strategies and increased funding to women’s rights movements.”

Every day, year after year, women grotesquely disfigured by fire are taken to Victoria Hospital’s burn ward here in India’s fastest-growing city. They lie in rows, wrapped like mummies in white bandages, their moans quieted by the pain-obliterating drip of morphine. Typically, these women and thousands like them have been depicted as victims of disputes over the ancient social custom of dowry and as symbols of the otherness of India, a place where lovely young brides are doused with kerosene and set ablaze for failing to satisfy the demands of their husbands’ families for gold, cash and consumer goods that come as part of the marriage arrangement. But most women on the ward never mentioned dowry when explaining why they were burned. Some, like Radhamma, 25, described accidental injuries caused by cheap pump-action kerosene stoves that are often shoddily made and lack even the most basic safety features. Others, like Geetha, 20, offered harrowing testimonies, supported by a growing body of new research, that place them right in the international mainstream of brutishly mistreated wives. The use of fire as a weapon, which seems so exotic, is simply expedient: kerosene, a ubiquitous cooking fuel here, is a cheap, handy weapon, much like a gun or a baseball bat in an American home.
–From “Kerosene, Weapon of Choice for Attacks on Wives in India,” by Celia Dugger, The New York Times, Dec. 26, 2000.

The party that’s obsessed with private parts and bathrooms committing sexual assault lol. Hell the leader is rapist convict what did you expect? I’d bet there are many prevalent gop members that went to Epsteins island it’s why they block the information. Homeschooling and churches are the number 1 way to child abuse…..

With Pistol Pete in the pilot’s seat — anyone want to bet on how long it is before the Medal of Honor is replaced with the Iron Cross (with crown of diamond thorns) of Herr Jesus, and/or Hero of the Corporation (diamonds and gold ® symbol with red ribbon the size of dump’s neck ties)?
What will the androgynous Mr. Vance do when Musk anoints Barron as Donald’s Regent at the new national cathedral/ NY stock exchange opening bell?
Will Putin really retire to Mar-A-Lardo?
Will dump really accept the Nobel Peace Prize on Bibi’s behalf?
Time, no doubt, will solve all mysteries.

Clearly, people prefer entertainment over a leader. The United States of America Reality Show. America’s President elect publicly preforms fellatio on a microphone and claims “They’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets of the people who live there.”
Trump’s policies and weave.
American brains are turning to mush.
