Oh so all of New York is one of those consensual non-consent parties that we were all horrified about in Silicon Valley last week. You pick up a drink, you’re agreeing to whatever sexual violation is done to you. That seems like it should be changed immediately.

Democrats are seeing massive gains in some of the reddest areas of the country. But the party isn't seeing the same wave of support in blue and purple states. A veteran election handicapper has dubbed the phenomenon as “the red undertow." Read more from Mychael Schnell:

Democrats are making huge gains in Trump country. The battleground states are a different story.
Democrats have put a number of deep red states in play this November. But they haven't been able to put away Republicans in the more traditional battleground states.

Black text on a white that says the following:

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.

Never under any circumstances should taxpayers support private schools. Private schools (no matter what kind) hurt public schools. They concentrate disadvantaged, while concentrating privilege and a culture of exclusion.

social media is a nightmare these days, but i just need to say: the way you talk about strangers’ experiences of sexual assault tells the survivors in your real life whether or not you can be trusted with their stories and their safety. and there *are* survivors in your life, so don’t fuck it up.
