With recent court filing over Cornell Rape case and Chi Phi frat house.One would think a perfect opportunity to bring to #MidTerms is passing the #ERA in enough states to give sex crimes in federal court the equality it deserves. #TitleIX piece meal protection is not enough and this rape proves it.

@cnn.com @jaketapper.bsky.social On Cornell rape case. Not only was she intoxicated when going to meet one guy at the frat house. She was given ketimine, which maximized her incapacity. Nothing she did would be considered legal concent. To put aside her decisions at the time, none was concentual.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

@emmavigeland.bsky.social I would argue that gerrymandering can be done for federal elections,like state level districts. For example, moving one group of people from or to another state could cause this. Push more libs or gop into one state.
