The stories themselves will not result in systemic change. The stories may be the driver to be part of a mass mobilization of millions of people rising up also against ICE also against the desecration of voting rights also against many other harms in a sustained movement towards something big

Over the past two weeks, I’ve been following the attempts to smear the Jane Doe in the Cornell University gang rape case and redirect blame from the seven fraternity men onto her. As usual, this campaign is built on a mountain of lies and misogyny. spitfirenews.com/p/cornell-ja...

Debunking the smear campaign against the Cornell Jane Doe
Authorities, media outlets, and pundits are lying about this woman. But only her credibility is getting judged.

The reason why I’m writing a book about the Whitechapel women. Not only is remembering the names of Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elisabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly important, but so is remembering that they were real women. contestedlives.substack.com/p/knowing-my...

The jackals are out, as they usually are for a woman who speaks up in a way that challenges patriarchy. (And a lot of why victims don't come forward or withdraw--as a Weinstein victim did--is because the misogynist public and legal system launch their own punitive assaults.)

Some legal details here worth highlighting, such as, we are still waiting on a grand jury. “The district attorney’s office will bring the case before a grand jury, he said, and upon indictment it ‘will prosecute the charges zealously and to the fullest extent of the law.’”

I also don't think most people, even extremely online people, clock what it means for Telegram Nazi misogyny to hit the political mainstream the way Telegram Nazi racism already has. It's not just "subjugate women." It's explicitly "rape, enslave, and murder women"

A woman was drugged, raped, and sexually trafficked to members of a fraternity. Two of the men involved were expelled. Five were given the opportunity to mitigate suspension by *writing an essay.* The dozens of other men who knew this was happening and said nothing? You already know the answer.

This is why I want the judge to rule on First Amendment grounds and not just due process grounds - because trump can "fix" due process by giving journalists advanced (albeit bogus) notice that they're being banned. The truth of the matter is that it's viewpoint discrimination violative of 1A.

Nobody claimed The Five dishonored anyone. What was said is that Hallie has called historians in her own bibliography people who "don't exist.” That framing wasn't accidental. It was part of the book's promotional campaign for years. I can cite several interviews where she said this directly.
