Fuck the patriarchy. This is exactly it. It's all about control, domination and, hurting women.

i am having trouble articulating this but a system that excuses gang rape as a youthful error on behalf of college men with ~ bright futures ~ does so because it is served by producing older men who are comfortable with, even enthusiastic about, torturing people at the system's behest

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

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:

Then I think of friends growing up. Or the nerdy fraternity I was in for 2 years in college. They certainly said and did things that weren't respectful. Statistically, one of them might have even SA'd a woman. I can’t imagine I’ve never been in the same room with a man who has. Did I speak up then?

Text from a friend. HEADS UP TEXAS. CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION ASAP. This is a family with a Latino last name.
Texts from my friend: I wanted to share with you a message from Texas I thought would be a good fact or call to action for your audience.
I wanted to share something that happened to my 76-year-old mom in Texas yesterday because I immediately thought of you and the reach of your mic.
My mom, Margaret, has been a voter since she was 18 and has always voted. She went to a voter-registration event in Bexar County and, when they suggested she check her registration, her record couldn’t be found. She immediately filled out a new registration application.
Then she checked her husbands, and his record couldn’t be found either.
Regardless of why any individual registration has an issue, this feels like an important public-service message: Texans should check their voter registration now, while there’s still time to fix a problem, not discover it when they go to vote.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

Amid outcry, NY prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation into the 7 Cornell gang rapists, a case that was covered up 2 years ago. These assholes would’ve been punished if they had written “free Palestine” instead of “free p*ssy.” Cornell leadership should be investigated too.

This is, frainkly, what happens when colleges become corporate entities worried about their bottom lines and corporate brand. It also happens when you live in a patriarchy that runs everything. Colleges should be allowed to police crime on their campuses. They're shit at it.

One place where everyone can get active now is in fighting to terminate 287(g) agreements where you live. It's been done in dozens of places now and it works. It also makes the work of ICE much more difficult.
