Lovely moments!

@DisneySucksPole @MrPitbull07 With technology/testing changing, it’s wise to have the physical evidence preserved. Science is always evolving.

@MrPitbull07 You do realize that even if the physical evidence isn't retained it is still sequenced and run against databases and the results of the sequencing are added to databases right? Even if the dude hasn't been caught yet, when he is that sequence would still be there to compare to.

In her final semester at Harvard, Amanda Nguyen was raped. She did everything survivors are told to do. Then she discovered that the physical evidence collected from her own body would be destroyed in 6 months — unless she filed paperwork to stop it. And then filed it again. Every 6 months. Forever. She was 22 years old. She decided to change federal law instead. 🌟 Amanda had interned at NASA. She had big plans. The kind of future that takes years of hard work to build was finally within reach. Then everything shattered. She went to the hospital. She reported the assault to police. She endured the forensic exam. She made the careful decision to file her rape kit anonymously — worried that an open case could affect security clearance applications for her dream careers. That's when the system revealed how broken it truly was. Because she was anonymous, Massachusetts law gave her only 6 months before her rape kit — physical evidence collected from her own body — would be permanently destroyed. Not the 15 years the state allowed for pressing charges. Six months. No official process to extend it. No clear instructions. No one to guide her. She had to figure it out herself, every 6 months, forcing herself to relive the worst experience of her life just to preserve her right to eventually seek justice. She started researching rape kit laws in all 50 states. What she found was staggering. Some states kept kits for years. Others destroyed them in as little as 30 days. Some states charged survivors for the cost of their own kit collection. Others never notified survivors what happened to their evidence. No consistency. No standard. *"Justice should not depend on geography,"* she said. But it did. In November 2014, Amanda founded Rise — a nonprofit dedicated to changing that reality. Everyone who worked with Rise was a volunteer. They fundraised through crowdfunding. Their goal was rewriting federal law. She met with lawmakers across Washington. Staffers told her it wasn't a priority. Some questioned her story. She kept going. She learned that the most powerful thing she could do was stop being abstract — to walk into a room, look a senator in the eyes, and say: *this happened to me. I am sitting in front of you.* Together with Senator Jeanne Shaheen, she drafted the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act — proposing that survivors should never be charged for their rape kit collection, should receive testing results, and must be notified at least 60 days before their evidence was scheduled for destruction. In February 2016, the bill was introduced. It passed the Senate unanimously. It passed the House unanimously. Not a single vote against. On October 7, 2016, President Obama signed the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act into federal law. Amanda Nguyen was 24 years old. Rise continued working state by state. To date, Rise has helped pass 33 laws across the United States, covering protections for over 84 million rape survivors. A movement started in spare time, with no budget and only volunteers, became one of the most effective civil rights campaigns of its generation. And Amanda never stopped reaching for the stars — literally. In 2024, Blue Origin announced she would be the first Vietnamese woman to fly to space. The young woman who had once feared that fighting for justice would cost her a future in space proved the two didn't have to be a choice. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Named a Time Woman of the Year. She wrote a memoir called *Saving Five.* But perhaps the most remarkable thing about Amanda Nguyen's story is not any single achievement. It is the fact that she turned the most painful moment of her life into something that made the world more just for millions of people who will never know her name. She was a college student who needed the system to work. When it didn't, she rebuilt it herself. **At 24 years old.

@BigBirdisdead @OJoelsen Only threat appears to be from the US President. This “argument” is misplaced in any conversation. US has their army base, it’s enough. It’s ALL enough already. Common sense isn’t common and should be called something else. US needs to address its own problems..

Denmark and Greenland have some of the highest tax rates in the world, confiscating over 50 percent of citizen’s income. And by the way how much do you spend on defense? Almost nothing because if Greenland is attacked it will be American blood and Treasure that defends it. So don’t be so smug.

Premier of Greenland Jens-Frederik Nielsen posted the following on Facebook: It will be a no thank you from here. President Trump’s idea of sending an American hospital ship to Greenland has been noted. However, we have a public healthcare system where treatment is free for citizens. That is a deliberate choice — and a fundamental part of our society. That is not the case in the United States, where seeing a doctor comes at a cost. 💵💰 We are always open to dialogue and cooperation — including with the United States. But please speak with us instead of making more or less random statements on social media. 👍 Dialogue and cooperation require respect for the fact that decisions about our country are made here at home. 🇬🇱 (Photo of Jens-Frederik Nielsen with his Minister of Health)

BREAKING: The Situation Is Bad In Mexico Right Now…Pray For Us!

It’s worth mentioning. Canadians want strong leadership that unite us and not just opposite politics. This happened in Conservatives history of having Liberals leave too. It may be more a comment on your leadership style and hypocrisy.

@K_MMcConnell @RpsAgainstTrump She is 5’3”. There is no way Trump is over 6’. Is anything real about this guy?

@RpsAgainstTrump She’s 5’5” so that makes trump…5’9 or 5’10”?

What do you notice in this photo of Trump with former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss?

Some tweets are pure fun. I grew up with Star Trek, so was thrilled to have William Shatner contact me while I was living on the International Space Station. We’ve since gotten to know each other - the first 2 Canadian spaceship captains :) And since then, ⁦he flew in space!

America, It's Not You, It's...

@OlenaRohoza No, isn’t he starting a war with Venezuela? This administration is a poorly casted reality show. Reminds me of the Gong Show..

Would you support President 🇺🇸🇷🇺 Trump receiving the Nobel Peace Prize ? YES or NO?

@OJoelsen Another reason to find new attractions. That “America First” is sure doing great for you. Can not count the times we have not chosen US (anything) because of this administrations policy. Isn’t that “great”? 🤷‍♂️

On November 25, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced an “America First” pricing policy for national parks, effective January 1, 2026. Under this policy, non-U.S. residents (foreign tourists) without an annual pass will pay an additional $100 per person surcharge on top of standard entrance fees when visiting 11 of the system’s most popular parks, including the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Glacier, Grand Teton, Olympic, Rocky Mountain, Sequoia and Kings Canyon, Yosemite, and Acadia. —BBC

@RpsAgainstTrump Wait, the deal maker is starting a war? This is the worst reality show going.

BREAKING: The Senate blocked a resolution 49–51 that would have forced Trump to get Congress’s approval for military action in Venezuela. Only two Republicans joined Democrats: Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski.

@Mattpetti32 @DennisKendel

@DennisKendel Dennis Kendel is another far left propagandist.

@gamechanger089 @AustinCappsMO @GavinNewsom By your own guidelines, you never voted or supported Trump. Good! After all, he has cheated on each of his 3 wives. One be took to his bed while Melania was nursing their newborn nearby. Yet somehow I bet you don’t apply similar standards..

@AustinCappsMO @GavinNewsom He a politician that slept with his best friend’s wife. Is that’s not the dumbest political move anyone could make? That’s like telling someone, don’t do crack, it will really mess your life up. But, they do crack.

Don’t forget to take your Tylenol, too.

So,Scott Moe and Danielle Smith says it's not BC's coast it's Canada's coast. Fair enough,but then can we say it's not Alberta's oil and gas, it's Canada's oil and gas. Maybe it's Canada's potash, not Saskatchewans. I'm happy they recognize we all share and prosper in this.

@cxx113 @Keep_USA_Free @GavinNewsom Trump reminds me of a steer. Always trying but just can’t get it done. 🤷 Notice how you could just interchange Trump for Biden in your comment and its political ideology is the same? Was it true then or now?

@Keep_USA_Free @GavinNewsom Half of the time we’re told Trump can’t do anything and the other half of the time we’re told he’s a dictator

“This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this." Exactly.

@LucasSa56947288 I took Tylenol, while pregnant, my son does not have Autism. Doesn’t it get tiring having so many unqualified people making decisions? Why would people choose this experience? It’s mind numbing to watch. Is that the experiment?

Who takes Tylenol? Raise your hand! ✋🏽

@guyfelicella Last Friday I fractured my arm. Saw doctor within hours, X-rays within the hour at my clinic and follow up right afterwards in Regina, SK. Casted at the hospital after swelling reduced and had to have it replaced the following day because it was too tight. System not broken..$0

I saw my doctor last Friday where she ordered an X-ray .... Today I'm first in line for it and I'm out by 8:20 Healthcare isn't broken.

@Acyn Transfer of wealth from the businesses and citizens already in the US to the government. For what? Show n’ tell. Come on peeps connect the dots before it’s too late. 🤷‍♀️

Vance: The second thing the tariffs are doing is it's bringing in a lot of additional revenue which, of course, we're using to give tax relief to the American people and make it easier for average Americans to get by.
