Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

ICE took two more people from my local courthouse today. The wife of one of the guys who was taken showed up shortly after. She just had surgery. She was worried about paying rent and feeding her kids. This is happening *every day* in Massachusetts. Lives are being destroyed every single day.

Comprehensive sex education does reduce sexual violence perpetration. But the most effective programs are in a K-12 environment. This is a fight we should be having with public school districts and state legislatures.

This is pissing me off. I helped organize the very first mass protest on Feb 5, 2025. It was grassroots not any big group like Indivisible. We had huge turnout to protest attacks on USAID. We had Senators and Reps there. Not a single person told us it would be smarter to lie down.

I was just in Guatemala, and the fear ahead of their 2027 elections is palpable. If that government goes rightward, it doesn't just affect them, but also potentially the many progressive, human rights advocates from other Central American countries that now live there.

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

Frat culture doesn’t help, but very likely these guys arrived at college with these attitudes already baked in. In the progressive sex ed class I taught, one 8th grade boy gave the feedback that we had covered consent too much. It was a main topic in one of the 12 classes.
