Democrats criticize Biden’s decision to launch airstrikes in Syria without consulting Congress
Some Senate Democrats on Friday criticized President Joe Biden’s decision to launch an airstrike Thursday night in Syria without conferring with all of Congress.
“The American people deserve to hear the Administration’s rationale for these strikes and its legal justification for acting without coming to Congress. Offensive military action without congressional approval is not constitutional absent extraordinary circumstances,” a statement from Kaine’s office read. Kaine is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
“Congress should hold this administration to the same standard it did prior administrations, and require clear legal justifications for military action, especially inside theaters like Syria, where Congress has not explicitly authorized any American military action,” Murphy said in a statement Friday.

Chicago’s Mayor Gave More Than $280 Million in COVID Relief Money to the Cops
During a global pandemic that’s forced millions of Americans into poverty and months of demands to “defund the police,” Chicago’s mayor handed over millions of dollars in federal COVID relief money to the city’s police department.
“At best, we would have used these dollars to keep our neighbors and businesses stable and healthy. We failed on both counts," said one local official.

More Spanish girls report sexual abuse despite progress on gender
The number of teenage girls saying they felt pressured into sexual activity has almost doubled in seven years in Spain to more than one in 10 of respondents, a study by the Equality Ministry showed on Friday.
Increased social media and internet usage has helped raise awareness of abuse but also brought new forms of exploitation and risky behaviour, it said, in its first study of gender-based violence and sexist attitudes among 14-20-year-olds since 2013.
“Teenagers’ perception of machismo is much keener now thanks to better access to information and global feminist movements,” State Secretary for Equality Noelia Vera told a news conference.
“But having clear opinions about gender violence doesn’t free you from suffering it.”
Almost half of teenage girls said they had been sent sexual photos online and more than two in five had been asked to send sexual photos of themselves, the study showed, while nearly one in four had been asked to engage in virtual sex.
Dangerous online behaviours, such as using a webcam with a stranger or telling them your name, home or school address, all jumped significantly in 2020 compared to 2013, with a quarter of teens admitting they gave a stranger their home address online.

The US Is Seeing a Massive Spike in Anti-Asian Hate Crimes
Last week, actors Daniel Dae Kim and Daniel Wu announced that they were offering a $25,000 reward to anyone who could help identify the person who was caught on camera shoving a 91-year-old man in Oakland’s Chinatown. The attack came amid a sudden and massive rise in the number of hate crimes against Asian Americans across the country, a phenomenon many activists argue is not getting as much media attention as it deserves.
“The skyrocketing number of hate crimes against Asian Americans continues to grow, despite our repeated pleas for help,” Kim wrote. “The crimes ignored and even excused. Remember Vincent Chin.”

A man forced women to sexually abuse his 7-year-old son because he thought the child was gay
A retired man has been sentenced to eight years in jail for hiring sex workers and forcing them to sexually abuse his seven-year-old son in order to make him grow up to be straight.
But one of the sex workers ended up going to police herself. She said that the father would take her to another city and forced her to have sex with others for money.

Allegations against TI and Tiny prompt call to support Black sexual assault survivors
The scandal involving the rapper and former girl group member erupted over several weeks as women reportedly came forward to accuse the power couple of confiscating their cellphones and preventing from leaving as the Harrises sexual assaulted them, or other women, in forced drug binges.
It has prompted the activists to address the issue as showing how Black survivors are often sidelined and their stories ignored in the national MeToo reckoning in America over sexual assault.
“We know countless of you have come forward with credible accusations of horrific sexual abuse and violence at the hands of Black celebrities,” the activists and groups wrote in a public letter. “Like you, we are carrying the emotional weight of this news and know that we are reliving a collective trauma akin to the exposing of Cosby and R Kelly.”

Law used to prosecute Capitol riot, Black Lives Matter violence under fire as racist
The law in question was enacted in 1968. It prohibited interference with police or firefighters during group violence, amid devastating riots in Washington D.C. and across the country that followed the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in April of that year.
Southern senators hastily passed the measure as a way to counter civil rights laws by getting tough on African Americans accused of attacking law enforcement.
Now, attorneys are pointing to that history to question its current application. A series of motions attacking the law have been filed in recent weeks in at least five different criminal cases, which have garnered the attention of top officials at the Justice Department in Washington.
The motions note that the ‘68 law was championed by Sen. Russell Long (D-La.) and that he formally titled it “the Civil Obedience Act,” in a snarky swipe at civil disobedience advocates like King.
The powerful and avowedly segregationist senator said missives like King’s famous letter from a Birmingham jail caused “the ultimate in lawlessness, wanton killing, and senseless, destructive rioting.”
“Because Senator Long believed that criticism of white supremacy and demands for racial justice were bound to cause riots, he proposed the Civil Obedience Act as a tool to suppress such expression,” the newly filed motions argue. “The legislative history … shows that it was enacted to suppress messages in support of civil rights and racial justice for Black Americans.”

The Left's Hypocrisy on Violence Is on Full Display
In the wake of the violent riots at the Capitol, the left predictably tried to paint Conservatives with a broad brush of all being violent hate-mongers. This is despite years of violence from the left, often rationalized with excuses of various justifications for that behavior. The violent riots of last year were encouraged by members of the Squad and even the current Vice President, Kamala Harris. We were told that the damage seen in major cities across the country was a result of our failure to act on whatever pet issue the offending group was “fighting” for, and we were to blame for the violence, not the perpetrators. Part of Trump’s mantra during this time was “law and order,” to which the left laughed and often violently reacted to those statements, as well.
When the Capitol Riots took place, the left and media swarmed Republican lawmakers, demanding apologies and for them to denounce the violence… and Trump. The media circled like sharks, attempting to paint conservatives as co-conspirators in some vast conspiratorial action to overthrow the American Government, despite their vehement rejections of violent rhetoric. Meanwhile, for the last four years, we have endured liberal conspiracy after liberal conspiracy to overthrow the duly elected President of the United States. Their rhetoric has been responsible for protests and violence across the country yet, somehow, they get a pass.
