yes the Cornell rape incident is horrible, but a more overlooked sinister detail is that they advertised it in a group chat and NONE of the guys reported it or stopped them. Men enable men.
A reminder for anyone confused about the Cornell 7 situation:
1. Universities protecting male abusers is a tale as old as time. Cornell isn’t special, they just got caught.
2. The Cornell 7 AND their enablers must be held accountable.
3. But accountability here won’t erase the daily reality for young women on campuses worldwide.
Gender-based violence is still treated as a minor inconvenience by the men in power who run these spaces.
Hi Cornell, I’m the mom of a freshman son. He worked really hard to get into your school. It meant something. Now it means something else. We’re angry and disappointed, not just by how this happened, but how it was handled, and not handled. We want justice for the victim and real consequences and accountability for the perpetrators. The best time for that was in 2024. The second best time is right now. The next 2 days are Family Weekend. Hope you’re ready.
Macklemore calls on more artists to stand up for Palestine as he announces his ‘Free Palestine’ tour:
“If these last couple of weeks have shown us anything, it's that something has shifted over the last three years. There has been a collective awakening around Palestinian liberation, the power of billionaires that try to censor that call, and what we expect from artists right now.
It's 2026. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn't work anymore. People are asking artists to show up, educate themselves and be in community. To use the stage for more than entertainment. To push back when the call for a Free Palestine is met with attempts to silence it.
What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.”
What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.
So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.

It’s been nuts to watch a facist government install every classic facist technique in the playbook all while people try and look at you in the eyes and say “Trump isn’t a facist”
Days ago, Trump banned CNN, MSNOW and many others from the White House.
Today, he’s announced State Ran Television. It’s official, we live in North Korea.
