"Hasign Pucker" 😭 The Republicans giving speeches at these rallies have no idea who Hasan Piker is either. Holy shit.

country singer? free palestine shirt?? GILLETTE STADIUM???

[Maverick @Trav0ne]

No accountability from Sarah Longwell whatsoever. The focus has been to get you to stop because you’ve been undermining the left for 2 years now! From injecting Cheney to hating Mamdani, to jumping in on Hasan. You don’t want the party to eat an elephant you want it to become one

[Pop Crave @PopCrave]

Country singer Zach Bryan wore a “Free Palestine” shirt at his Gillette Stadium show in Massachusetts.

[novelleena @novelleena]

the issue is that there was no due process. it was not properly investigated, it was swept under the rug intentionally, as is extremely commonplace not just at cornell. the system you’re defending failed jane doe.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

If you defend due process for accused terrorists, you're branded a "terrorist supporter."

If you defend due process for those accused of sex crimes, you're branded a predator.

If you defend due process for those accused of rape, you're branded part of "rape culture."

The lamest tactic: same way that if you oppose US war against Country X, you're accused of being a supporter of X's government (X = Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, North Vietnam, Russia, etc. etc.)

[novelleena @novelleena]

little strange, no?

[Amy Diehl, Ph.D. @amydiehl]

In NY, there is a bill that would repeal the voluntary intoxication loophole in rape law. It pass the NY Senate unanimously the past 2 years. But one man--assembly speaker Carl Heastie--has blocked it from getting a vote in the NY Assembly. @eenayo

really fucking disappointing to see @ggreenwald joining in on the victim blaming of jane doe

[novelleena @novelleena]

@JeninYounesEsq @ggreenwald @GovKathyHochul how is that your understanding of this? the issue here isn’t the alcohol it’s the fact that 7 men raped her, and NY state law makes it difficult for victims to get JUSTICE because of voluntary alcohol consumption prior. it does not matter if you’re drunk or not, rape is rape.

wait but i though him and jeffries are making america more affordable behind closed doors!

[CNN @CNN]

A CNN investigation has found that while Jared Kushner acted as a key Middle East peace negotiator, his private equity firm held the largest stake in an Israeli company backing businesses tied to Israel's military campaign in Gaza, including its largest arms manufacturer. https://t.co/zPxwBqGzs0

We need to also please be very loud and supportive for Kendall who was violently raped by an LSU football player and bravely told her story to the world

[novelleena @novelleena]

grown man doxxes a 19 year rape victim and deletes the info because “he doesn’t want her to be harassed” nice job you bottom feeder.

[Michael Tracey @mtracey]

After identifying Jane Doe earlier tonight, I have now removed the information I published. Why? Because the principle has been served: to underscore that permanently anonymizing litigants who make sensational, spectacular, reputation-destroying claims about others -- so long as they can self-declare some form of victimization -- cannot be countenanced.

It's destructive, and an egregious abuse of the legal system by huckster plaintiff's lawyers. This practice has to end. Lawyers who seek to monetize this sleazy tactic should have to think A LOT HARDER about the claims they're willing to throw out into the public domain, using impressionable clients who may not even know what they're getting themselves into.

So why have I now removed her information?

Because I don't believe she's the main "villain" here. I primarily blame the bottom-feeding, media-manipulating, sleazebag lawyers who've made a whole cash-grab industry out of this racket.

Thomas Giuffra in particular has a lot to answer for. He's the central reason for the current debacle.

Given the intense nationwide and global interest in this case, I don't want to bring any further negative attention to this woman. I don't believe she ought to be punished or subjected to any retribution or humiliation. I believe a RATIONAL solution is necessary here. Not more character assassination -- of her, the seven young men, or anyone else. Truly, that is my genuine view.

I also recognize there are unique factors that must be taken into account given the hugely outsized publicity of this case.

So that's why I have removed the information. The aforementioned principle has been served: eroding the premise that anyone who claims any form of victimization is entitled to permanent anonymity, even as their lawyer(s) use the courts -- aided by a compliant media -- to name & shame others for the most heinous of crimes. No matter how lacking in credibility their own claims might be, or contradicted by mountains of other evidence.

That's all I ever sought to accomplish here. Not to impugn this young woman on a personal level. I have no animus toward her, and never have. I sincerely wish her the best, and hope her life is not defined by this calamity.

I completely stand by the accuracy of what I reported as to Jane Doe's identity. This is not a retraction -- it's an independent discretionary judgment I alone have made. No lawyers or anyone else have influenced this decision.

[novelleena @novelleena]

i love her so much

The men defending the Cornell 7 are not defending the Cornell 7. They are defending themselves.

[liz @lizboyfanclub]

I've seen multiple women today talk about being relentlessly pressured into sex they did not want with the replies being full of men hurling abuse at them for considering it rape. men refuse to accept that coercion is rape because if they admit it is then they are rapists.

[novelleena @novelleena]

my favorite part of all this is how men want to say shit like this as if this isn’t the bare minimum of respect

[the Iron Gentleman (deceased) @VinegarVic7]

In light of Cornell situation, I don’t think women realize how much self-policing occurs in male groups for “creepy” behaviors amongst peers. During undergrad, if freshman did anything “weird” towards a girl, they’d get unanimously blackballed from all fraternities on campus

[novelleena @novelleena]

I had a lot of respect for Glenn but this is just gross. A woman was drugged and gang raped. it doesn’t matter if it started consensually. She was not in a mental state to give consent. These men are criminals who got off with no punishment, and that’s part of a systemic problem

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

The NYT obtained mountains of documents, emails and chats collected by Cornell as part of the Title IX investigation into the rape accusations.

There is nothing that definitively exonerates the defendants, and some scraps that can be used to convict them as part of the online mob justice trial transpiring. But it's beyond clear why prosecutors knew they could never bring criminal charges and hope to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt or even close: at least for many of the 7 if not all.👇

Pretty awful week to be online if you’re a woman who’s been sexually assaulted before
