If you haven’t worked for a university, you might not know that one of the primary ways universities manage sexually violent faculty is promoting them away from students and into power.
It isn’t a coincidence. It’s the system working as designed.

Out of the three colleges I’ve attended, two had a president step down because of sexual misconduct during the time I was connected to campus.
Larry Summers is another reminder that part of why universities respond so badly to sexual violence is because there are powerful perpetrators within them.

A modest proposal for university leadership: over the past 50 years local and federal governments gave up funding them enough to do their jobs. So leadership had to become a wing of fundraising: boards and presidents were there to please donors. But we haven't drawn the logical conclusion: 1/4
i remain shocked at just how badly elite higher ed admins have stewarded universities. these presidents and chancellors and provosts, supposedly accomplished people, have collectively overseen a staggering nationwide collapse in every respect.
One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

New from me: The same tactics marketers use to get you to find their toothbrushes or photography business on Google were also used by Jeffrey Epstein & co. to try to launder his reputation online. SEO to try to cover up the most infamous pedophile ring.

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.
The full count as of today:
YouTube suspended

Patreon suspended (temporary)
Patreon 3x audio flags (one false posi)
Ko-fi suspended (indefinite?)
Buy Me a Coffee suspended
Vice reporting censored
Pornhub censored 3x times

Is it really a conspiracy to say Ana is being explicitly flagged by finance bros when she's now been banned (or censored) from Twitch, Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, Ko-Fi, and *PornHub*??

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Refusing to fund SNAP is ableism.
Cutting Medicaid is ableism.
Terminating ACA subsidies is ableism.
Slashing affordable housing is ableism.
This regime has a very clear eugenics agenda.
They’re targeting services they know disabled people rely on to survive.
We are not expendable.

In order to move men, we have to welcome folks who have done things in the past we abhor. We have to allow folks to redeem themselves.
