Minneapolis (alongside as so many other cities) remains extremely brave and generous as ICE continues to devastate people. I hope we can safely tell more of the stories one day.

Make your plan to vote in the Ramsey County Sheriff race on or before November 3rd. It matters. Feel free to ask any questions about why I’m doing this, I’m happy to answer.

I’m not running to win, but I believe voters deserve to be able to say “no.” If you simply skip over the race, there is no record of your opposition. If you write in my name, or someone else’s for that matter, your opposition becomes visible.

In at least 40 cases, LGBTQ individuals were sent to countries that either criminalize same-sex relations or have been designated as dangerous for LGBTQ people. All of these people were granted legal protection in the U.S. for fleeing persecution for their LGBTQ status in their countries of origin.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.
