Not just impeachable. Impeachment, both pres. and agency heads, is the only option. It's impeachment or nothing. Courts won't stop it. Other tools are impotent. Put them on trial the only way you can. Even if you can't get 2/3, use process as punishment. Make it miserable and costly. It can be done.

Even a lot of "good" men, you challenge them even a little on what misogynistic assumptions they may have internalized without reflection, and boy is that rage usually pretty close to the surface. Not necessarily immediately violently but whew

This country absolutely hates women and depends on our unpaid labor and hates us even more for that dependency. We are loathed, and once you understand that a lot of the pieces fall into place

The jackals are out, as they usually are for a woman who speaks up in a way that challenges patriarchy. (And a lot of why victims don't come forward or withdraw--as a Weinstein victim did--is because the misogynist public and legal system launch their own punitive assaults.)

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

Erick Erickson: Talked to a friend whose business has been hit hard by diesel and tariffs. He vented, "I voted for him, but I didn't vote for this." Real frustration out there.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

We should understand this as an intentionally criminalizing move against queers. Along with other measures, it accelerates demolition of the framework of civil rights in order to replace it with processes of criminalization against groups that challenge supremacist governance.

And, it's courage that you can tell cishet white guys *entirely lack*. It's very extremely obvious they're not telling their dipshit buddies and bosses to knock it the fuck off, every chance they get. Because there'd be a lot less dipshits floating around if they did.

It's like how if you ask cishet guys about how they'd stop rapists, it's always an action movie scene with a guy in an alley way, and never telling their buddy "hey, you just literally confessed to rape" or telling a relative they are never allowed back.

People think fighting nazis looks like an imagined WW2 gunfight, and not telling their relative or buddy or coworker or *boss* to knock it the fuck off or else. They won't tell their racist boss to shut the fuck up, but think they'll be throwing bricks.

every lever of power in the so-called American liberal order – from the ostensibly liberal government to the ostensibly liberal media to ostensibly liberal academia – are all laser focused on one single thing...the state of Israel must be allowed to massacre as many Palestinians as they wish
This is one of those moments where I’m overwhelmed and do not feel up to the task of capturing exactly what is happening in words as peaceful college students across the country are being thrown into the carceral grinder by their own administrations for the crime of sitting around and asking for the facilitation of less death but I will tell you one thing which is that we are currently experiencing a period of collective mass hysteria and mass psychosis I haven’t seen since the early 2000s where every lever of power in the so-called American liberal order – from the ostensibly liberal government to the ostensibly liberal media to ostensibly liberal academia – are all laser focused on one single thing: No matter the cost in blood or money, no matter the suffering of innocents, no matter the violations of supposed norms, the state of Israel must be allowed to massacre as many Palestinians as they wish and any effort to forestall that from Boston to Los Angeles to Atlanta to New York City should be met with the full force of the militarized police to “restore the peace.” 

This specific slaughter for some reason – and yes I know a number of the reasons – is worth any price we might have to pay at home in terms of dismantling our own Constitutional rights. It’s madness. People have gone mad. Normal people that we all know not just the easily dismissed as "evil" ones.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.
