People are rising against the rapes at Cornell University. Join Refuse Fascism contingent Thurs Oct 8, 630PM. "From the Frat House to the White House: Stop Sexual Violence" hosted by GEM, Federal Building, 915 2nd Ave Seattle. Look for our orange Refuse Fascism banner and gear.
The Cornell case exemplifies the horrors patriarchy has inflicted as long as it has existed. This patriarchy is now being turbocharged by Trump and his whole MAGA fascist regime. This is a fascist regime fighting to impose a culture of the degrading domination of women and of wanton violence, a kind of pornography of violence with an American chauvinist and male chauvinist thrust to it.
To subjugate women and erase LGBTQ+ people, Trump dismantled reproductive rights, threatened nationwide abortion bans, outlawed gender-affirming care, purged transgender people from public institutions, and reinstated oppressive norms as state policy.
“Fascism” is not a curse word. Fully imposed, it is a radically oppressive and repressive form of rule over the people of this country, with devastating impact on the people of the world. The rule of law is shredded. Civil and democratic rights are eliminated. Dissent is piece by piece criminalized. The truth is bludgeoned. Group after group demonized and targeted along a trajectory that leads to catastrophe.
THEY ARE MOVING TO LOCK FASCISM IN PLACE. The Trump regime is subverting democracy, disappearing immigrants, criminalizing dissent, waging illegal war, and tearing down barriers to its power—to impose white supremacy, male supremacy, Christian supremacy and American supremacy.
IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA: TRUMP MUST GO NOW!
