I’ve been biting my tongue on this one. But I’m just going to come out and say it: The Sexual Citizenship approach is the next era of symbolic compliance for campus sexual violence. It’s trying to solve sexual violence by putting more chairs in dorm rooms. Literally.

Trump and Musk are doing everything they can to try and force Ukraine to surrender to Putin while Musk spends over $300 million to try and buy the midterm elections to maintain total power. The American government under Republicans are on the side of evil. Vote them out.

We need to report more figures in daily life as percentages of net worth rather than raw numbers. We should also levy fines the same way. A $250 speeding ticket may be fully 2.5% of a poor person's net worth. It would also be equivalent to fining Elon Musk $2.5 billion.
