MN Supreme Court just ruled that the meaning of "mentally incapacitated" related to rape charges means that the individual who is assaulted must be forcibly intoxicated, and that more serious charges are not filed if the victim became intoxicated willingly. Basically it means the rape can only be a gross misdemeanor and not a felony.
It is absolute horseshit and infuriating. But several state lawmakers are already speaking about it today and are trying to get a bill passed to tighten up the law to change it.

willow , that's so horrifying!Way to continue to victimize those who are assaulted, MN Yeah it is....something else. So basically the Court told victims the same trope of "She was drunk she was asking for it" that we hear so often. It is insanity. I mean, the person will still be charged with a crime but just not a felony level. It is unacceptable. I hope the bill being drafted gains enough traction to be passed so that this won't be an issue.

I really came in here to say Rapinoe looks fab (very important issues she is addressing aside). I am quoting this for no other reason than she is so hot. Between her physical appearance and her brains...woowee. I love her.

Ohio passed a bill/over rode DeWine’s veto that in 3 months that can rescind all health orders. I believe, but I could be wrong, that it also prevents any lower level governments to issue any orders and DeWine would have to wait 60 days before reissuing a health order.
So yeah... let’s move these vaccines.

So I guess alllllllllll the cereal in my cupboard including CTC is getting thrown out when I get home. My husband was pouring himself a bowl of cereal while telling me all about this today. I was like, my dude, are you really having cereal while going into detail about infested cereal? Are you crazy?

I wish Cruz would punch himself in the face. Lest we forget, he is a booger eater. I still laugh uncontrollably until I tear up even thinking about this. I can't help it. Everytime I start to rage over him I just picture him eating his own booger and laugh at him. It makes me feel a miniscule better. Still want to punch him though.

I need this administration/Congress to get a jump on paid family leave. I mean, all of these things, but paid FMLA is one of my hills to die on. It’s so universal. *buries self on this hill next to you* I fought to get it in my state and it implements next year. I will fight for this until the day I day, forever and ever and ever amen. Sigh. Paid family leave. That would be so nice. Only getting six weeks and only having it paid if I have to PTO to cover it is fucking criminal for working moms. And NYS implemented a paid family leave, but teachers don't qualify. So ya know, real cool.

It’s not just teachers- anyone covered by a union contract was left out... and, you know, most of the union memberships are people who don’t see the benefits of it because they think it is only paid maternity leave. We were told it will most likely not be in our next contract because there’s not enough membership interest 🙄

We were told it will most likely not be in our next contract because there’s not enough membership interest 🙄 Yeah. I don't see it being in our next contract either. We were supposed to negotiate a new one this year, but with everything going on it was votes to just extend our current one another year. Not that I want another baby to even be benefited by it. It just makes me so mad that working moms get shit on right after giving birth. And NY passed a paid leave but left out a huge swath of it's residents in the process. I couldn't remember the other effected groups, so thank you. I knew it was more than just teachers. Seriously, my husband has better parental leave than I do. He gets four weeks at full pay (his work tops them up) then the other eight at whatever the state pay rate it. I got the 20 days of PTO I had. I would have had less but thanks to covid and working from home all spring I managed to not have to take time off for appointments. I have no PTO now until September too. So that's cool.

Carry on! It’s ok I’m still internally seething about it. Women should be able to go out and get drunk af if they want without fear that they will get raped and then the asshole will serve less/no time because she chose to drink that night. It’s absolutely unconscionable.
