In the past, most journalists took a legalistic, black-and-white approach to the issue of sexual consent. If a description of an encounter didn't meet a criminal definition of sexual assault, it was assumed both parties were willing and eager. Sex was treated as either fully consensual or rape, ignoring the icky truth that there are a lot of nonconsensual-but-not-provably-illegal encounters. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoHzHGP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvZ2Jjc25icTgydC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXhkOXJkaDQyOGsmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZjPHrDxmvw4et1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). ~/AASU4wA~/RgRoHzHGP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsva213anZobWpmYS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXhkOXJkaDQyOGtXA3NwY0IKZjPHrDxmvw4et1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoHzHGP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsveTE1Ymo5aGFkdy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXhkOXJkaDQyOGtXA3NwY0IKZjPHrDxmvw4et1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoHzHGP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvb3Vua2x3Y2g1Zy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXhkOXJkaDQyOGtXA3NwY0IKZjPHrDxmvw4et1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoHzHGP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvYjBjd3VtOHF2Yy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXhkOXJkaDQyOGtXA3NwY0IKZjPHrDxmvw4et1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo Trump trial delays bring focus to SCOTUS  The mainstream news media’s obsession with the hush-money trial is committing the error of mostly ignoring Donald Trump’s attempts to convince the United States Supreme Court that he is basically a king and above the law because of “presidential immunity.” [The court’s right-wing justices – three of whom were appointed by Donald Trump – appear likely to grant, in part or in whole, Trump’s demand for nearly unlimited power](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoHzHGP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvbnFicnIzbWEwZC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXhkOXJkaDQyOGtXA3NwY0IKZjPHrDxmvw4et1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) and by doing so to fundamentally betray the Constitution and American democracy.

Macklemore finally delivers an allyship effort that isn't embarrassing From Melanie McFarland: A decade ago would you have thought the widely dissed white rapper would earn Tom Morello's approval? His corniness worked when “Thrift Shop,” his megahit with Ryan Lewis, put them on the global map in 2012. It was less acceptable when the duo strutted off with Grammys for best new artist, and best rap song, best rap performance. “Hind's Hall” won’t change that . . . much.
