Boys will be boys. Locker room talk. It was just a joke. That’s just how men are. Not all men. Dear men, If any of those phrases are your response to SA and harassment, then you're NOT one of the "good guys". You're reinforcing the patriarchy, and are part of the problem. PLEASE take a stand.

My dear male friends, PLEASE acknowledge in the comments that you have read this post. It's important to me to know where you stand. ----- I thought the day I saw a million #metoo posts was heartbreaking. But the recent news of an alleged 2024 gang rape of a Cornell University student by a bunch of entitled frat boys makes me want to throw up. I've been queasy since last night. (Don't know the details of this horrific attack? Look it up. Now.) I need you to listen to me: Not all men? You're a good guy? Prove it. I need to see you post on YOUR timeline that you're committed to stopping rape culture. I need to know that you will: • Call the f@cking police and report any sexual abuse or sexual harassment the minute you learn of/witness it. It's not that hard. • Commit today to practice bystander intervention. • Man up when you hear your friends--in the locker room, on the golf course, while watching football at your favorite sports bar--make lewd comments about women. • Stop laughing at that disgusting joke your brothers, co-workers, gym buddies tell. And don't tell me you've never heard this type of sh!t. I know you have. • Call out those who demean women. "Bro, that's not OK," is the MINIMUM you owe humanity. • Talk to your sons! Hold them accountable to the above. If you're not doing this already, or not willing to do it in the future, you ARE part of the problem, and frankly, I don't care to have you in my life. You might never dream of hurting a woman, but if you stand by and watch or remain silent while others do, YOU'RE HURTING WOMEN. Take a stand. Do something. Today. Don't let what happened at Cornell and what happens every day at every college across the country continue to happen. I'm counting on you to be the good guy in all this.

My point in sharing this is not to elicit FAFO comments. But to point out that major supporters leaving him has a cumulative effect, like one drop of water at a time. For now, all we need is for them to stay home. We'll figure out the rest when we're not falling off the ledge. Keep fighting!

So 2 more Trump superfans who've followed him to most of his rallies, are telling reporters today that they are done with him. One of them, Rick Frazier, is one of the "Front Row Joes" who stand in the front row and attend all of Trump's rallies. Frazier says he is a founding member of the group and has followed Trump all across the country to more than 100 rallies. “Epstein crimes and feeding the industrial military complex … those are big nos for me,” Frazier told Politico’s Playbook today. “He promoted himself as a no-war president. That didn’t work out.” Then he added: “I’m to the point of not going to the polls in November.” Trisha Hope is another Trump supporter who is throwing him in the garbage. She loved Trump so much that she published a book in 2018 of nothing but Trump's tweets. She said, “He’s said the war is over 600 different times. He tells us they don’t have a military, they don’t have a navy. They’re still blowing up things. It’s just all lies.” Hope said it felt like “a dagger in my heart” when Trump brushed off the files at a July 2025 cabinet meeting. “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” Trump asked. “It was like a light switch went on and a veil lifted, and I saw him for who he was, and I have not been able to unsee it since." In July at a Georgia rally, Trump pointed to the Front Row Joes and said they were “very rich.” Hope was furious and tweeted that it showed “how absolutely clueless he is on what these folks have sacrificed in order to support him."

Gisèle Pelicot - her husband drugged and raped her for almost a decade. 72 other men participated. In 2024, 51 stood trial, including her husband. Stockport, England - a man drugged and raped his wife over about 20 years; 12 men participated. WTF has happened to men? #Cornell7

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.

This #Cornell7 story is haunting me. So many young men knew and did nothing. How have men—and the institutions protecting them—failed so catastrophically? This keeps happening, yet the only concern is about young men’s futures being ruined over “one mistake.” How are women still so disposable?
