Living in Minnesota through the ICE occupation has taught me that it’s untrue. It honestly might have been disinformation the whole time.
Corporations: We are collections of people & therefore deserve the civic rights afforded all people.
Me: Ok. May I talk to a person?
Corporation: No. Never again.

if you convince the most elite institutions (e.g. harvard) to betray victims and protect perpetrators, then all you gotta say to admin at any other university is "this is how they're doing it at harvard" & everyone assumes it's on the up-and-up, and soon that's "just the way it's done" everywhere.
to what extent was epstein driving institutional responses to perennial problems regarding sexual assault on campuses and the interpretation & application of Title IX's prohibition of sex discrimination in educational settings?
is a question on repeat in my brain.
The problem with the Supreme Court supermajority is not just one of ideology or politics, but of epistemology. The world as they understand it bears little resemblance to reality www.liberalcurrents.com/the-supreme-...

Not hearing "patriarchy" or "misogyny" enough in Epstein coverage.
Dehumanizing children (esp girls) is foundational to white supremacy, eugenics & unfettered capitalism.
To talk racial & economic power w/o talking sexual & gendered power is to tell less than half the story.
Do better, media men.
This is the work.

I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions
When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."
For me, I've found donating to organizations and mutual aid groups or to people who just need some extra money to get by is a real sanity-saver in these times of feeling helpless but full of rage.
would love to get a thread going of historical analogues to this incredibly strange temporality, i.e. the feeling of a centuries old social structure or set of them just dissolving in front of your eyes, on a minute to minute basis?
So when I see people *finally* talking about accountability for the baddest of bad fascist actors "on the other side" of whatever this is... Not just imagery of guillotines but talks of nuremburg-like trials and graffiti that names names... That's our republic, and we just might keep it.
Before 2016, one was called an "America hater" for questioning U.S. exceptionalism, critiquing the disparate outcome of policy, or pointing out historical atrocities done in our names at home and abroad.
But there is no greater love than dissent, for it recognizes implicitly a capacity for change.
As a student of literature and history, I don't want this country to "go back" to any of its prior eras. I want a new era, where the end of this agony is a stronger reassertion that we WILL become the America of our most noble ideals *even if* it means killing the potent myth of our exceptionalism.
To believe the former is to have hope. To despair of the latter is to grasp the gravity of today.
At the heart of U.S. citizen-identity is a patriot-traitor dichotomy that basically makes all but the most privileged among us develop love-hate for this nation, so, ya know, we're flexible. We will emerge a better version of ourselves, or our 250-year experiment will have its conclusive result.
The Great White Fathers’ repeated disavowals of their Black brothers and sons are foundational to U.S. conceptions of citizenship—and constitute one of the most glaringly obvious silences structuring white ignorance in this country & enabling fascism to fester or thrive but never die.
“We’re the hottest country in the world” is so midcentury modern.

A photo of teenage Claudette Colvin in glasses and a sweater.
Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

Everyone has some shit to say about how they're going to write a book, and they never will because only you are emotionally naked enough to give yourself over to the years of pointlessness, spiraling, and incredibly difficult work that will almost certainly lead to absolutely nothing! Live más.
this is what we queers threaten, btw—not the embodied safety of the individual white cis girl or woman but the constructed safety of their social dominance.
Deindividuate and defamiliarize. Multiplicity and proliferation. Have a nomadic mind and a curious spirit. Be a person of feeling. Do not abandon your animality.
Hey, New Yorkers. I called @newyorkstateag.bsky.social and asked her to prosecute X and put them out of business for facilitating the manufacture and distribution of CSAM and non-consensual pornography. A very nice person actually answered the phone! Please call if you feel similarly! (518) 776-2000
