If I was running for office right now, my platform would have three major planks. 1. Universal healthcare 2. Universal public education, through graduate school 3. Put these ass holes in jail forever and undo everything they've done
Student journalists, Cereese Qusba, and Sophia Dasser, of The Cornell Daily Sun are to be commended for their assiduous reporting of this distressing story. Jane Doe deserves justice. The men who raped her deserve jail. Those who knew and did nothing should be investigated and dealt with.
PBS News@pbsnews.org · 23h agoNew York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she is "deeply disturbed" by the way Cornell University's police department and the county prosecutor handled a student's rape allegations in 2024. She has appointed the state's attorney general, Letitia James, as a special prosecutor to take over the case.

It appears that the National Guard shot and killed an unarmed man (in the back). www.bbc.com/news/article...

Once again, I'd pay a lot of money to see ICE and Border Patrol's dossier on me.

Like the anti-woke backlash of which it's part, the whole "campuses as hotbeds of left-wing radicalism" discourse willfully confuses the noise for the signal. Most people go for a job credential and leave deeply socialized into the protocols of power, of which violence against women is central.
Judah Grunstein@judah-grunstein.bsky.social · 23h agoJust occurred to me that one of the Cornell frat boys is in the White House, another is running the Pentagon and another is sitting on the Supreme Court. This isn't an anomaly. It's the pipeline.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending
not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too
