The state with the lowest rate of child abuse cases is Pennsylvania, with a rate of 174.8 cases for every 100,000 people under the age of 18 in the state. Pennsylvania has 2.62 million people under the age of 18, and less than 5,000 cases of child abuse have been reported over each of the past four years, with the number of victims decreasing 5.2% in 2020.

New Jersey was a close second, with a low rate of 188.9 child abuse cases per 100,000 children in the state. New Jersey was also found to have the biggest decrease in the number of child abuse cases, with a 55.8% reduction in the number of victims between 2019 and 2020.

​

They don't say why, which is concerning. Did child abuse go down or did we stop reporting it as much? If it's the former then that's great. If it's the later then we have a big fucking problem that needs to be fixed ASAP

Just an FYI

They sure do love their corruption in Texas,

she said, knowing damn well she voted for Menendez and would fucking do it again if he wins the next primary, God damnit

The difference between NJ and IL and the rest of the country is that we actually punish corrupt officials

Texas's AG is under federal investigation because his former aids accused him of bribery ffs. He's dishonest and corrupt to his core

Thank you for your service o7

OP, PM me. I want whatever it is you're on

Portuguese and Korean BBQ are legit

I've read quite a few history books. And I'm happy to inform you that Jefferson would wholeheartedly agree with you, as he called himself a "barbarous ancestor" to those of us who would live centuries after him.

​

They weren't infallible, they weren't without massive flaws, just like all humans. They made huge mistakes but to look at only that, without looking at all they accomplished, all the good they did, is just as unreasonable as fetishizing them

He was the general. He's the most highly decorated general in our history, because we just keep giving him more awards every time a living general gets too many stars. It'd be cool if you knew that or read literally anything he wrote. It'll help you act like an actual American and not a reactionary, because the founders' hated reactionaries. They valued logic and reason; they were men of the enlightenment. something this country is abandoning at breakneck speed

​

Here, pick something and read it. It will enlighten you

Can you name one value passed down to us from the founding fathers which you possess? Because neither of the things you mentioned are that

so innocent until proven guilty means nothing to you? Maybe try getting some American values, they're pretty great and the republic will be destroyed when a significant amount of the population abandons them

Innocent until proven guilty is a value we should instill in children. Reactionary bullshit should be discouraged in children and you should better know better

>In 1938, a 23-year-old Sinatra found himself in just such a situation, and he was officially arrested and booked for Seduction. The charge was eventually dropped when it was discovered that the supposedly single woman was in fact married. Later that year, armed with this new information, the original charge was revised slightly, and Sinatra was again arrested, this time for Adultery.

>A bond was set for Sinatra, which he promptly paid, and he was released. The Adultery charge was later dropped and in total, he spent only a few hours in jail as a result of the situation.

Go to a used store and get a solid wood desk in decent condition for $25. Then pay to get it delivered because you saved so much money and that thing is gonna be heavy. Then clean it for hours because it will be dirty

No, this was in Hunterdon so there's at least two of you roaming around the state, baffling people. I've lost quite a bit of weight, but I was pretty damn plump last winter, and I bundled up like Nanook of the north because the cold is cold

Not hunting deer means overpopulation, starvation and a horrible death. I saw what a hunting ban did to a deer population when I was a kid down in Shenandoah, and it was horrific. Dead deer everywhere and the stench was something I'll never forget. Those poor deer suffered horribly before they died, a quick death would've been better.

It's not the only way. We could tear down all the buildings and infrastructure and restore the land to how to was so the bears can have their habitat back.

That's not gonna happen so we gotta hunt them. And we need to up the amount of deer hunters can take too. Those poor things eat the poisonous plants in suburbs that were specifically planted to be deer resistant, because they're overpopulated and starving. It's cruel to let all of them suffer like that every winter, a quick death for some and enough food for the rest is more ethical and merciful

Them shapely calves tho 😍

I'm so excited for you to feel the warmth and comfort

The wind will cut right through them no matter how good they are, they can't block the wind, you have to have something on top of them to do that, like thick tights and a lined wool skirt

I wear nude fleece lined yoga pants under black tights, a wool skirt that goes down to my knees and boots that go up to my knees, with wool socks.

​

It's absolutely not the same as wearing shorts. I highly recommend grabbing fleece lined yoga pants, they're great as long as you get good ones. The ones at Walmart are shit. Just feel them before you buy them, you'll be able to tell if they're any good

I saw a plump older woman in shorts, flip flops and a long sleeve shirt on the other day. Really glad women are striving to get equal representation in the "GO PUT ON SOME SOCKS OR SOMETHING, YOU'RE MAKING ME COLD JUST BY LOOKING AT YOU!" genre. Really glad that I'm not the one breaking that glass ceiling too, because my joints hurt if I get too cold

But abortion advocates say there is no need to rush through a complicated and monumental amendment in a final, end-of-the-year sprint in order to win legislative approval — a first and crucial step before getting it placed on next November's ballot. They argue that the state Supreme Court has already affirmed the right to an abortion in cases over the past 40 years, and those protections were codified in a landmark state law enacted last January.

"While there are, of course, other states that may need to amend their constitution, to create the right to an abortion, New Jersey isn't in that situation," said Amol Sinha, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey, on Friday "It wouldn't necessarily create anything new for us."

​

We all know that supreme courts can get new justices and overturn precedent if they feel like it, we literally just watched it happen. We need the right to an abortion, a human right, enshrined in our state constitution.
