It's outrageous that so many rape kits remain unprocessed in Florida It is a tragedy that Florida has at least 13,000 rape test kits that have not been processed - with more than 1,300 from Jacksonville alone. It is also a public danger. The scary truth is that all across Florida, Northeast Florida and Jacksonville, there are serial rapists roaming among us - free to continue committing crime after crime because they haven't even been identified, much less arrested. Many of them are serial offenders who surely would be caught simply by testing the rape kits, which can reveal DNA evidence that can be used to identify and catch them. The thousands of rape test kits that remain unprocessed across Florida must be tested. And Florida must also put clear procedures in place to eliminate the prospect of a similar outrage being repeated. During a recent session with the Times-Union editorial board, District 11 State Rep. Janet Adkins powerfully summed up why every Floridian must demand this state never again have huge volumes of evidence linked to sexual assaults - one of society's most serious crimes - sit backlogged on shelves for months and years. https://www.jacksonville.com/story/...-kits-remain-unprocessed-florida/15696481007/
She should've said to the guy "I'm an American, you shit sniffer. Get the whole fuck off my property"
Dodgers rescinded their invitation to Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to participate in Pride Night after Marco Rubio complained. A senator from Florida. Dodgers said it was due to the strong feelings of bigots. It has been pointed out that many had strong feelings that Jackie Robinson should not be allowed to play Major League baseball. The Sisters raise thousands of dollars for charities annually. They have personally cared for people with AIDS whose Christian families threw them out. Unlike the church, no Sisters have molested children.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that this asshole never watched a WNBA game. Drag is OK if straight men do it for laughs.
How creepy is it that Republicans want genital inspections to enforce cis gender identity. Fascist fucking party needs to go away
Transphobia is intrinsically linked to racism, especially anti-black racism; the way white people masculinize black women is disgusting, always coming down to jokes or even serious insistence black women are actually men. You can see it implemented in the Olympic policy on testosterone and the way TERF ideology insists that gender conforms to the white definition of femininity. In fact, it’s possible the current wave of transphobia is only getting noticed because it’s affecting white gender non-conforming women enough to make the news. This shit has been happening to cis black women the entire time.
It’s “14 words” shit, a “new” way to expand blood and soil racism. (Like I said above, homophobia and transphobia are very much linked to old fashioned klan-style racism)
Maynard James Keenan has done a lot of crossdressing over Tool’s history; very punk of him to do it now when there’s some actual stakes involved
