"These men become the cops that don't believe you, the doctors who dismiss you, the judges who 'don't want to ruin his life', the congressmen who legislate you into silence. The rapists are the heart of the regime. These men are the bones. Break them." #Cornell7 #Pinks

Justice will come for the Cornell 7. The Internet is doing its thing. We need a task force on the Cornell 40-90 who got the invite and said nothing. We need to start naming and shaming these men so complicity becomes the worse alternative. These men become the cops that don't believe you, the doctors who dismiss you, the judges who "don't want to ruin his life", the congressmen who legislate you into silence. The rapists are the heart of the regime. These men are the bones. Break them.
