College workshops have largely failed to reduce sexual assault. They also miss the psychological motivations behind rape.

this is the rape culture btw. the one women have been warning you about, and were told we were hysterical and over-sensitive and couldn't take a joke, and that rape allegations ruin men's lives, and now we live in a meritocracy where the only "merit" is who has hurt the most women

Social media is fun because you’ll post a reasoned response and then another person gets enraged, intentionally misreads and twists your comment for their own purposes, and responds like you have personally harmed them. Was silence not an option?

It is quite telling that since the horrific story of Cesar Chavez re: sexual abuse broke earlier this week and calls to change the names of schools and other public spaces named in his honor, not one conservative voice has stepped forward to object that this would be tantamount to erasing history.

What does he mean by this? Finch has benched Rudy at times situationally and won. He benched D’Lo in the Memphis series. Can he cite examples where benching a player bc of low effort does not work? What informs his philosophy and why does his way work so well?

I’d love to see Julius or Ant benched when they get lazy or don’t follow the game plan consistently. Finch protects them and deserves to be called out for not sitting them out ala D’Lo in the Memphis series.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Please read and share with anyone who might be planning on counterprotesting in Cedar-Riverside this weekend
A flyer from the West Bank business association.

Text reads:

Community Notice - Cedar-Riverside | Saturday, January 17
Community leaders in Cedar-Riverside, including elected officials, rapid response teams, faith leaders, community organizations, and residents, are sharing the following information to ensure safety and clarity this weekend.
We have been made aware that a small group of racist and anti-Muslim agitators may attempt to come into the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood on Saturday, January 17. Their intention appears to be to provoke disruption and create fear. Our community will not be drawn into that.
To support safety and stability, trained community patrollers wearing yellow vests, faith leaders wearing orange vests, and local law enforcement, including the Sheriff's Office and the Minneapolis Police Department, will be present to monitor and respond to any potential concerns.
Guidance for Cedar-Riverside Community Members
• Do not be afraid
• Go about your day as usual.
• If you see protest activity or offensive behavior, do not engage, argue, confront, or respond
• Avoid conversations with strangers, individuals recording video, or members of the media.
• If you have concerns or feel unsafe, approach a community patroller or call
911.
Guidance for Those Outside the Community
No protest activity is needed, welcomed, or appropriate inside Cedar-Riverside.
• If you wish to support the community, please coordinate with your local neighborhood rapid response network rather than coming into the area.
Cedar-Riverside is strong, resilient, and united. We look out for one another, and we continue keeping our community safe together.
