Current information I’ve gotten: The receptionist is not aware of a specific person to speak with regarding the PAAE campaign. I called the press office and was immediately directed to voicemail.
If anyone would like to give them a call or send an email, I hope we can get (trigger warning for those ads) those ads taken down.
Let’s get on this!

… Oh really now. Hold on while I flood you with HOW WRONG YOU ARE, theIlluminati.
What the fuck? Even if this is a joke, it’s in horrible taste. Everyone spam this guy with how misogynistic he is.
This happened, but I overreacted last night? Please. People re-tweeted this… I swear, sometimes I wish I could just quit humanity for a while.

How ‘bout fucking no?!
As if rapists actually care about how their victim looks. also as if only women get raped.
Normally never get into this kinda stuff but jesus christ, what the fuck.

stop the planet, i want to get off.
oh my fucking god.
I’d prefer not to get off this planet. I say we kick this guy and all his misogynistic, hate-filled retweeters off the planet instead. …maybe send along the rapists themselves too.
These people make me sick.
I don’t know what makes me more disgusted. This tweet or the 100+ folks that retweeted it.
Object lesson, friends and kind relations: this is how rape culture keeps itself functioning and the wheels of it’s terrible, people destroying machine greased. It isn’t just that one person or one douchebag says or does something that turns rape into a joke, a punchline, or a triviality. It’s that A HUNDRED PLUS OTHERS give them a round of applause for it. It’s that A HUNDRED PLUS OTHERS spread it and send the very tacit, very powerful message that this is okay. That rape can be a joke and OTHER PEOPLE WILL SUPPORT YOU IN THAT IN LARGE NUMBERS.
This is how this persists. The way any hatred persists. Because the people who talk and act in these ways can be assured that they will not meet with great opposition or forceful pushback. They can be assured that people will chuckle and laugh and support them.
And this is how those who become rapists first have the idea planted in their skulls that the act of rape can ever be okay to do, that it’s ever something you can let yourself participate in. Because they see this and an insidious little seed of a thought just sort of grows, silent and unexamined and unconscious in their brains until it become a very very horrible action.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltjmsybD0T1qhp1u6o1_400.png)

Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault, Disassociation & Surviving
So I’m going to tell you all a story about being a teen girl, consent, & implied coercion. See, here’s the thing. I was molested as a kid, there’s little doubt that at least some of what happened to me was a result of fucked up family dynamics that made me a commodity & not a person. It’s a long story, but suffice to say that my body & my brain have a long history of separation. Now, when I was 12 I was raped by my slightly older boyfriend. It was at a party, he’d been drinking, & I got through it by going away from myself. For a host of reasons I didn’t press charges or even report it. Some of those same reasons kept me from telling my parents. Like a lot of people who have been victimized I spent a significant chunk of time after that acting out & trying to gain some control. Over what? Take your pick. Mostly I wanted to be someone who made things happen instead of someone things happened to for once.
Fast forward a few years & I was in a hotel room with a guy who I had consented to have sex with, but not the kind of sex he decided he wanted after we were alone in the room. What happened next was not precisely rape, because I never said no. I didn’t say no because I didn’t think it was going to matter & I did not want to be raped. I don’t know if he would have honored my No, and I didn’t want to find out either. It’s not a night I’m proud of for a few reasons, & frankly now in the age of camera phones it could easily have been a night that wound up being posted to the internet. Some choices are not really choices, they are simply the least painful option at the moment. We police sexuality like it is everyone’s business while insisting that sex should be private. This is life in a culture that says sex is a both a commodity & a sacrament. Who are we to judge what anyone does to get through it?

RCF officials have handled Saldana’s case with a shocking disregard for compassion, safety, and human rights. Demand that they concentrate on protecting Saldana and other inmates like her from further abuse instead of putting them in even more danger.
EDIT: backstory/analysis [same warnings as above for these links ]:
- by Monica Roberts, the TransGriot (link)
- by Cara Kulwicki of The Curvature (link) [also has talk of invasive searches]
further EDITS to try and make warnings more accurate.
re-reblogging again to try and help keep this circulating.
…and again. also edited warnings again.
Keep reblogging. Injustice always needs to be highlighted.

So in the DSK rape case, we’re supposed to believe that an African immigrant housekeeper suddenly decided to have sex with a wealthy white man 30 years her senior for 3 minutes on a bathroom floor in the middle of her work shift. To believe this story, you must know nothing about race, class, power and rape.—

Seems legit.
