This is an article for men. Women already know this.

A few months ago I wrote an article titled “Women are not safe around men” and I got 100s of messages from angry men chewing me out.

This week a woman filed a civil suit against 7 men at Cornell University for drugging, trafficking, and raping her. Zero have faced any criminal charges. Men throughout the societal ladder are complicit. Women are not safe around men. And the data is devastating.

You know how whenever women point out that all men need to do more to stop the abuse of women, and inevitably some men respond "NOT ALL MEN?

Yeah, those men aren't interrupting—they're confessing, and should be treated accordingly. Men who center themselves over the women suffering abuse are telling on themselves. Believe them.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. Unfortunately, the Trump regime has refused to arrest him and corporate media continues to ignore his war crimes and genocide.

Today, I break down the 9 most egregious lies told by war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN as he leads an apartheid state committing genocide of Palestinians. And you better believe I bring the receipts. Let’s Address This.

The Chicago Tribune editorial board just published one of the most embarrassing pieces of billionaire propaganda imaginable. They claim Mayor Brandon Johnson's use of "corporate" is a slur, and it's hurting business.

Corporations are not people. Actual slurs are what Black people, brown people, Jewish people, Latinos, and other marginalized communities face daily.

Another example of why we need independent media that serves working people, not corporate interests.

Shooting Latino immigrants because they’re undocumented is absolutely fascism. Being undocumented is not even a criminal offense. It’s a civil offense. Know what else is a civil offense? Having expired car registration. But police don’t shoot people for that.

Oh right—they do if the motorist is Black. Guess it’s no surprise why MAGA supports ICE fascists who shoot undocumented Latino immigrants.😐

When I first heard of Gina’s campaign, I felt both comforted to see a dynamic Latina woman running for the highest office in Texas, and questioned whether it was a losing battle because she is facing a seeming insurmountable challenge.

What I’ve learned by watching Gina’s campaign and speaking with her directly has left me a believer—Gina can and will win, and Greg Abbott is scared. He should be. Here's her path to victory:

As Netanyahu comes to NYC to spread hate, remember this fact: Jewish people favor NYC Mayor Mamdani over war criminal Netanyahu

A July AP-NORC survey of 1,022 Jewish Americans found:
•44% of Jews view Mamdani favorably & 39% unfavorably
•32% of Jews view Netanyahu favorably & 59% unfavorably

Don’t be gaslit. Don’t be antisemitic. Dont be anti-Muslim. Don’t buy war criminal Netanyahu’s propaganda.

I’m not Black.

My immediate reaction to that Converse ad was “wtf Converse is rage bait lynching to sell shoes.”

It’s obvious to anyone with the slightest understanding of American history. And that’s the point. It is not an accident. It’s a dog whistle at a time of white nationalist revival to sell shoes to America’s largest racial demographic. It’s deliberate. And that’s the scariest part of it all.
