In addition to the utter disgust and fury I've been feeling towards the sorry excuses for men who raped that young woman at Cornell, she has me thinking of every woman in my life who has trusted me enough to share the story of her own rape. They all share something in common:

Please don't give the DA reopening the Cornell case any cookies. District Attorney Matthew Van Houten all but called Jane Doe a liar today. He said that in Doe's initial statement, she described "her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual.” CONSENSUAL

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

most people want to think of what they do as being a net positive for society, so when you've been working in a field that is widely acknowledged as such it can be very difficult to adapt when that vibe shifts... the Detroit executive class in the 70s-80s are a canonical example of this

There’s also something to how women are socialized to be suspicious of flattery — it’s how we transfer responsibility for men’s desire onto women’s bodies; we are taught to defend against that in service to our “innocence” or whatever — whereas men accept flattery as their due. Perfect marks.

Dr. Fauci had saved an estimated 25 million lives BEFORE COVID-19. His partner in that effort? George W. Bush, a mass murderer and war criminal, and yet a man who had SOME non-evil aspirations for his presidency. Trump 2 has gutted the program and shuttered 1,700 treatment sites.

So, by the numbers, I've trained thousands of activists and organizers to resist Trump and his policies since 2017. In this week's video, I'm sharing with you what we know works, and how you can apply a roadmap for resistance and positive change in your own community. bit.ly/4w3LRnG

I Trained 1000+ Organizers to Resist the Trump Regime. Here's What Works.
⚡ If you know you are meant to be doing more in this moment, but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin — watch our free masterclass on how to stop guessing how to make a difference: https://bit.ly/4pJkmy4 After training thousands of organizers, activists, professionals, and community leaders to resist Trump over the last decade, I've learned something surprising: Most people already have everything they need to fight back. They're not missing passion. They're not missing talent. What they're missing is a roadmap to effectively resist. In this video, I'll walk you through the exact five-step framework I use to help people identify where they're needed most, how they can contribute without burning out, and how to build community power and grassroots organizing that actually changes lives. You'll learn: • The three primary paths into effective resistance • How to identify where your community needs you most • How to match your skills with resistance strategies that matter • Whether you should join an existing organization—or start your own • Why community organizing has powered every successful social justice movement in history If you've been asking yourself: "How do I actually fight back?" "Where do my skills fit?" "How can one person make a difference?" ...this video is for you. ______________________________________________________________________________________ BOOK A RIPPLE EFFECT FIT CALL: https://bit.ly/4fyFLVR SUBSCRIBE (and don't forget to hit the thumbs up and comment!): https://www.youtube.com/@RippleEffectInstitute READ MY ESSAYS ON POLITICS AND ACTIVISM ON SUBSTACK: https://newsletterwithecm.substack.com/ FOLLOW OUR SISTER CHANNEL ON POLITICS, LAW, AND BREAKING NEWS: https://www.youtube.com/@resistanceliveecm BUY MY BOOK: https://amzn.to/3jM8SMF JOIN OUR MAILING LIST to get updates: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/ LET'S CONNECT ON SOCIAL: BLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/ecmclaughlin.bsky.social INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ecmclaughlin/ MEDIA and SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/contact https://youtu.be/BvO--98AF-c *Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate.
