22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

It was Lin Farley a feminist journalist and lecturer at Cornell University. She used the term in '74 during consciousness‑raising sessions. The term gained national attention after a 1975 speak‑out organized by Cornell women, including Farley and Carmita Wood.

Wrote a thing Monday. Got held back and is a weekend read at the Guardian today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
While the criminal justice system should address reports of rape, we know that rates of conviction are appallingly low for a number of reasons. Although, thanks to feminist interventions, the legal system is better equipped to understand this crime and less prejudiced against victims, we will not change the world through that means.

After rape allegations at Cornell University, why are women again being urged to talk to their sons? Why not men?

Sexual assault arises in part through both the entitlement and the desire to abuse and dehumanize women, which is in part about definitions of both masculinity and femininity: masculinity in that domination, violation and degradation are seen as status-enhancing, femininity in the perception that women’s bodies are for men to use, women’s voices and rights to be ignored.

The most compelling thing I’ve read in response to the Cornell case is in an essay by feminist writer Soraya Chemaly. She cites anthropologist Peggy Sanday, who told her that there are “rape-prone” and “rape-free” societies: “She found that in rape-free cultures, women have far more authority, status, safety and freedom.”

They’re societies in which women’s rights to bodily and social self-determination are respected, and a man who violates those rights would face severe consequences. “Rape-prone cultures, on the other hand, treat rape as an entitlement in a system that revolves around masculine contests and hierarchies.”

In the first few months of 2025, the Trump administration attempted to cancel around $267 million in federal spending on legal aid for migrants. For legal aid groups all over America, recovery from the tumultuous early months of the second Trump administration has been excruciating.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.
