I Sued My Rapist And Walked Away With $400,000. This Is What I Learned About Power.

.

It was 2014. I was 20 and struggling at my new job as a receptionist in a law firm. My boyfriend, with whom I lived, was becoming increasingly abusive. I concealed my tears by pretending to search under my desk while I cried. Fortunately, I made a friendly acquaintance.

He would frequently stop by my desk and eventually we started hanging out ― we stopped for dinner after work (Indian food); I played him a new single I liked (“Came Back Haunted” by Nine Inch Nails). I grew to trust him as a mentor and friend.

One night, I sat in his living room, crying into a microbrew about my home life. I had never been drunk before, so red flags did not go off when I began stumbling to get to the bathroom after only two and a half drinks. I soon began fading in and out of consciousness.

He was raping me when I woke up.

Man who kidnapped Jayme Closs and murdered her parents sentenced to life in prison

The Wisconsin man who admitted to kidnapping 13-year-old Jayme Closs and holding her captive for almost three months after murdering her parents was sentenced to life behind bars Friday.

Jake Patterson — wearing an orange jumpsuit, shackled at the midsection — looked down or straight ahead throughout much of the hearing before Barron County Circuit Court Judge James Babler, who called him the “embodiment of evil.”

“He stole my parents from me. He stole almost everything I loved from me,” Jayme said in a statement read in court by her lawyer, Chris Gramstrup.

“For 88 days he tried to steal me and he didn’t care who he hurt or who he killed to do that. He should stay locked up forever.”

Trump Administration Proposes Nixing Health Care Protections For Transgender People

Leave a comment

.

President Donald Trump’s administration proposed a new regulation on Friday that would wipe out Obama-era health care protections for transgender Americans.

President Barack Obama’s administration issued a rule in 2016 that health care providers receiving federal funding could not discriminate on the basis of sex and expanded the term “sex discrimination” to include gender identity — though a federal judge later blocked enforcement on the latter of these rules.

The Department of Health and Human Services said its proposal aims to align its definition with “the plain understanding recognized by the court.”

“The American people want vigorous protection of civil rights and faithfulness to the text of the laws passed by their representatives,” said Roger Severino, director of the Office of Civil Rights at HHS. “The proposed rule would accomplish both goals.”

Trump Defies Congress And Invokes Emergency To Sell Arms To Saudis, Senators Say

Leave a comment

.

The Trump administration notified Congress on Friday that it is invoking a rarely used provision in federal law to bypass congressional review of arms sales to Saudi Arabia, two Democratic senators said.

The administration is issuing an emergency declaration that will allow it to sell arms to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and others despite congressional objections, according to Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn. Menendez said the administration did not cite a specific legal or practical reason for using the provision in the Arms Export Control Act other than to cite threats from Iran.

The Curious Case of the Bog Bodies

Leave a comment

One Saturday in the spring of 1950, brothers Viggo and Emil Højgaard from the small village of Tollund, in Denmark, were cutting peat in a local bog when they uncovered a dead man. He looked as though he had only just passed away. His eyelashes, chin stubble, and the wrinkles in his skin were visible; his leather cap was intact. Suspecting murder, the brothers called the police in nearby Silkeborg, but the body wasn’t what it seemed.

Cracking the case required a special breed of forensic analysis. Famed Danish archaeologist Peter V. Glob, from the University of Aarhus, arranged for the body, along with its bed of peat, to be excavated and transferred to the Silkeborg Museum in a giant wooden box. An examination of the contents of the dead man’s stomach suggested—and radiocarbon dating later confirmed—that he had lived during the third century B.C., in the pre-Roman Iron Age. For more than 2,000 years, Tollund Man, as the corpse became known, had lain at the bottom of the bog, nearly untouched by time, as all of recorded history marched forward over his head.

Who will say ‘corpse’
to his vivid cast?
Who will say ‘body’
to his opaque repose?
—Seamus Heaney, “Grauballe Man” (1975)
