It's not an issue of "training." If someone reports a gang-rape, you don't need training to know that you: -Interview the victim. -Interview the suspects. -Interview all possible witnesses. -Collect all possible evidence. The police seem to have barely gone through the motions. The DA: Even less.

"The Cornell 7 has highlighted, yet again, the issue of male culture and “masculinity” in this country. I’m appalled, I’m upset, I’m fed up. You should be too. It’s time for MEN to enact change."

Iowa Hawkeyes. Atlanta Hawks. Not the same team, not even the same state. Get your facts straight before calling someone a dirtbag. Instead of this distraction, we should have hearings on health care costs, 8 million Americans losing coverage, and tariffs crushing our farmers.

Proud of the CDCers who fought to get this vital info out! 30% of our workforce is gone. Heartbroken by the loss of brilliant scientists, institutional knowledge, & frankly my friends, colleagues, & mentors. An understaffed CDC harms the public & leaves the US vulnerable. Rebuilding will take years

In case some men need a reminder. (It's almost always men, isn't it?)
Text: How to avoid a sexual assault! A quick and easy guide*
1. Don't put drugs in people's drinks.
2. Use the buddy system! If you can't stop yourself from sexually assaulting someone, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times to stop you.
3. When you come across someone who is drunk or asleep, the best thing to do is not rape them.
4. When you see a woman walking by herself, leave her alone.
5. If you are in a lift and someone steps in, remember not to sexually assault them.
6. Carry a whistle. If you think you might rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.
