How to avoid sexual assault

A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE*

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM.
If you might sexually assault someone, bring a friend to stop you.

3 IF SOMEONE IS DRUNK, HIGH, OR ASLEEP, DON'T RAPE THEM.

4 CARRY A WHISTLE.
If you might sexually assault someone, blow it until someone stops you.

5 WATCH WHAT YOU WEAR.
If someone's clothes are a problem for you, try wearing a blindfold.

6 WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE WALKING ALONE, LEAVE THEM ALONE.

7 DON'T FEEL ENTITLED TO SEX.
Nobody owes you sex. Flirting isn't consent.

8 IF YOU'RE ALONE WITH SOMEONE, DON'T SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

THE ONLY PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT IS THE PERSON WHO COMMITS IT.

A soldier dips his hands into a crate full of rings confiscated from prisoners in Buchenwald and found by American troops in a cave adjoining the concentration camp. Original caption reads: "These are a few of the thousands of wedding rings the Germans removed from their victims in order to salvage the gold. U.S. First Army troops found these rings, with watches, precious stones, eyeglasses, and gold teeth fillings, in a cave adjoining the Buchenwald concentration camp near Weimar, Germany. 5/5/45."

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system.

We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump.

We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

California Governor Newsom weirdly sided with a MAGA podcaster about throwing trans athletes under the bus. Please call him out on this unacceptable new stance. #TransRights are human rights.
Governor Newsom betrayed trans folks on his podcast with Charlie Kirk

SHAME ON YOU,GOV!

Call (916) 445-2841 and tell him
1. Apologize
2. Meet with trans athletes & families
3. Commit to uphold existing state law protecting trans kids

In an already unequal society, colorblindness simply locks the inequality in place.
white kid, climbing on chained black kid: This is for your own good.
black kid: Hey! Get off me!
white kid, on high ledge:  Phew! I'm REAL sorry about being racist before. I know better now.
black kid, unchained: Swell. Give me a hand up, willya?
white kid, smugly: Of course not! That would be reverse racism.  Look, if I got up here myself, why can't you?
