And media making it official policy to treat those attacks as fair game that they would not take seriously, report on, or treat as harmful — even when leveled at their own reporters. Now the White House points GamerGate at its targets daily, through the owners of the social platforms themselves.

the received wisdom of the dnc superfan is not nearly as unshakeable as they would have you believe. as a rule most don't believe in anything other than mirroring the establishment. move the establishment and they will play ball immediately

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

And I'll never forget the LaQuan McDonald murder. Cop emptied his gun into him in front of other police, and they thought they could cover it up. Rahm Emanuel can never be allowed to make a political comeback. He is everything that is wrong with the big-money centrists who have controlled the DNC.

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.

Every conversation about the Cornell case is irritating me because there is no way there was just one victim. Just one report. I need people to stop talking like no one had any idea they were rapists. Go crack open those middle school and high school records.

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.
