This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

If you are rightfully outraged by the #Cornell 7 case, as a prof I can tell you from experience with students that Title IV protects predators (reinforced by DeVos). The white entitled frat boys were not charged for haneous sexual assault because the system is working as designed and they know this!

Yesterday on here was like twitter at its worst. I'll just say: being white is a huge ass privilege even among other highly oppressed aspects of one's identity. It enrages me when ppl understand their whiteness is power, yet feel ENTITLED to weild it in gross ways because they're also marginalized.
