The “protect women” crowd hasn’t said a word about the Cornell rapists… It’s like they almost don’t actually care about women and abuse trans folks just to prop up their misogyny.

Nothing was handed to police at that time. This allows for the victim/survivors to get legal advice, secure housing & take back control .

Check the state to see if it has Sexual Assault Advocacy. Where I worked as an SA, we were called to specific hospitals & we went over their rights. They could request blind reporting, this is where a rape kit was collected & they could decide if & how to report their attacks.

Geophysicist & space physicist Marcia Neugebauer made the first direct solar wind measurements via instruments on the Mariner 2 spacecraft. She developed instruments used on Earth-orbiting satellites, Apollo lunar experiments & the Giotto mission to Halley’s Comet. Born #OTD in 1932. #WomenInSTEM

A black-and-white historical photograph of pioneering geophysicist and space physicist Marcia Neugebauer (born September 27, 1932) working at her desk during the mid-20th century. Sitting in an office setting, she leans forward slightly over her desk, looking directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and focused expression. She has short, bobbed light hair and wears a short-sleeved, collared white button-up blouse adorned with subtle vertical embroidered details down the front. In her right hand, she holds a pencil over large documents and charts with plotted scientific data curves spread out on the desk before her. To her right sits a large, vintage mechanical calculating machine with columns of buttons, characteristic of the 1960s computing era. The background features window blinds and office storage, creating an environment of rigorous research. The image captures the historical significance of a trailblazing woman in STEM whose work with these charts and calculations would confirm the existence of the solar wind via the Mariner 2 spacecraft.

The rise of 287(g) programs has meant that ICE is increasingly using local police as a very significant force multiplier, with up to 1 in 8 arrests of noncitizens in the interior now being carried out by state and local police. This is going to have profound impacts on community relations.

Sometimes all it takes is a change of perspective. Instead of saying, “I failed,” try saying, “I learned something I didn’t know before.” Not everything that goes wrong is a step backwards. Sometimes it’s simply a lesson that helps us take the next step forward.
