If law enforcement actually wanted to tackle the trafficking problem in Houston, they would go after the outlets.

All it takes is a quick search on rubmaps.com to see where you can buy sex, right now, in Houston.

After that, they can go after people on Tryst. It's such an open secret because there is so much money being passed around.

Human trafficking is integral to Houston's economy and culture. They won't do anything about it because they don't want to.

The only solution to make sex work safer in Houston is to legalize it. Which they also won't do because they're "better than that" and legalization would result in better treatment of workers at the expense of employers.

Stallman has done his part and more.

It's up to us to carry on his legacy.

The US government almost unanimously supports Israel, as does its ruling class.

The majority of working class Americans are unlikely to support sending aid to Israel if they had the option to vote directly on it.

Israel has more influence on American politics than American voters.

The headline is a little misleading. It makes it look like officers were only acquitted, which isn't true.

3 officers were charged. 1 has already been "found guilty on charges of criminally negligent homicide and assault." The other 2 were acquitted.

The 2 paramedics involved in forcing Elijah to overdose on ketamine are awaiting trial. Not sure why we're trusting paramedics to give correct dosages of sedatives, but here we are.

EPA to push ban of toxic chemical 'CHEMICAL_NAME' found in US drinking water

Can I get paid to write headlines now?

It's pretty normal when you have a small pool of qualified individuals. Some men will take advantage of women and management will brush it under the rug because they need those men to do their jobs. There aren't any replacements without increasing payment.

I've been making fun of them for years and they just keep doubling down on their stupidity.

I've lost hope for this generation.

That's the thing. It literally does not matter how much the American people support Palestine because the American government is going to do whatever the American ruling class wants.

There is no chance in hell Americans would vote to send aid to Israel if it was a referendum.

Israel was given to the Jews as an 'apology' for their treatment during WW2.

All Western nations agreed. All Arab nations declined.

Guess who got their way?
