What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

In the absence of state and federal oversight, local school officials often are the final arbiters of sexual assault and gender-based discrimination on campus. This story was done in collaboration with @searchlightnm.bsky.social (CW: This piece references incidents of sexual assault.)

19thnews.org

A middle schooler said she was raped. Then she was suspended from classes.

After a 13-year-old reported sexual assault, she was left to navigate a system where limited state and federal oversight leave school districts to decide how allegations are handled.

Movement journalists make sure that Black people aren’t erased in migrant narratives.

Image description from Prism: “People hold posters during a news conference and rally on June 25, 2026, at a Manhattan, New York, union headquarters to support the Haitian and Syrian communities after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that could end Temporary Protected Status for potentially millions of foreign nationals from countries such as Haiti and Syria.”

Survivors deserve programs that will actually respond to their needs. They deserve city officials who will listen and value their expertise. They deserve to be believed when they say over and over again - a police-based response to gender-based violence does not work. #EndGBV
