"The victim was hospitalised with injuries including broken ribs, a punctured lung and rectal damage, according to the indictment, and Tomer-Yerushalmi launched an investigation."
Other accounts of rape:
"The New York Times documented an allegation of rape from a senior nurse who said two soldiers lifted him up and pressed his rectum against a metal stick fixed to the ground.
A report by the UN’s Palestinian relief agency Unrwa into abuse allegations at Sde Teiman provided a similar account of a detainee forced to “sit on something like a hot metal stick”, who said another detainee died after anal rape with an “electric stick”."
I wrote my representative and advocated for lifting the trade embargo and this is what they sent back:
As your Member of Congress, I am opposed to lifting the embargo. Cuba continues to be under control of a communist regime which suppresses any advancement toward a free and open society. In addition to not providing basic goods and services for its citizens, the Cuban government routinely restricts civil liberties and engages in significant human rights abuses. Specific information can be found by reading the State Department's 2022 human rights report on Cuba. Cuba continues to undermine the interests of the United States, and most recently a Cuban spy was found to have infiltrated high levels of the U.S. government.
Whenever you see a driver following too closely or driving erratically try to get away from them, change lanes, let them pass, whatever. Also try not to drive next to other cars. Stagger positions so if they have to serve into your lane they won't hit you. Last tip is don't drive in people's blind spot when they are in the next lane. Pull ahead of them or let them get in front of you
"For the 13 per cent alcohol content of most wines, that equilibrium point would still leave you badly dehydrated (not to mention hopelessly drunk), but it should prevent you from dying of thirst"
Very similar situation to the news story we're commenting on.
Real ID driver's licenses seem to be a form of federal ID even though they are issued by states.
It's interesting how most people agree that lack of federal ID is a problem but they don't want the government to track everybody. The gov is looking at Palantir to create a database of U.S. people and maybe it's not popular because Palantir is kind of shady and right wing or maybe people just don't want to be tracked.
Three to four days is the longest you can survive without water before you die. So he probably would have been dead or close to death without the wine.
You can use a shotgun loaded only with rock salt even when deadly force is warranted. You can also not use a gun at all in situations that would allow deadly force. Not everybody wants to kill someone.
Rail only goes where the infrastructure is built out. Heavy deliveries and cargo need some method of completing the last leg of the route, even if there is a rail line nearby. How is a train an alternative to a vehicle that can drive down a dirt road? You just have millions of trains running everywhere all the time even when the routes are rarely used?
Last time I had a discussion like this people were saying we didn't need trucks, that we can just use fleets of cargo bicycles.
When I thought about buying a shotgun I looked into rock salt and other non lethal ammo, it turns out it's illegal to load shells with rock salt. Hard to believe
She has a home, she's supposed to "occupy" it but she rented it out. Her lawyer says that federal guidelines don't define occupancy. The difference between her occupying and not occupying is only $800 one time gain.
I'm not sure this is legal because if a man and a woman both like men and you only surveil the man who likes men, then you are selecting him for surveillance because of his sex which is a protected class
