Just wanted to tell any former students in the area who might be interested that I'll be speaking, along with Prof. Nancy Snider, at this year's Stories to Remember event. It's Friday, April 18, at 2pm, in Letts Formal Lounge. It'd be wonderful to see you!

To recap: Trump is a rapist found liable for defaming the woman he raped. His pick for attorney general is currently accused of statutory rape at sex parties. His pick for defense secretary is accused of sexual assault.
But Sarah McBride using a restroom is the threat.
