51 MEN WHERE CONVICTED IN THE #PELICOT #RAPE TRIAL

been avoiding CNN recently ―for obvious fascist reasons― but this is one helluva headline y’all need to sit with:

Gisèle Pelicot: France mass rape trial ends with 51 guilty verdicts - and fears justice hasn’t been served | CNN
cnn.com/2024/12/19/europe/peli

51 men were convicted because those are the ones Pelicot’s lawyers had enough evidence to prosecute. there were many more men who participated in raping her for 20 years.

let that sink in…

#RAPE IS FOUNDATIONAL TO #FASCISM
no, there are no mainstream definitions of fascism that include rape as a red flag for a fascist state because all those definitions have been written by white men without an intersectional antifascist, anticolonialist scholarly praxis.

but am the antifa, anticolonialist, antipatriarchal historian you’ve been waiting for and am here to tell you that every single culture and “liberal democracy” that normalized rape ended up being controlled by fascists.

ABOUT MARINE LE PEN’S CONVICTION

it’s interesting to see the hand-wringing over barring Le Pen from electoral politics for 5 years, not the 4 years of prison (2 of them commuted) that she needs to serve.

but am not going to spend time on what’s a rather pedestrian case of corruption by embezzlement.

no.

am going to bring attention to the case France needed; to smack awake it’s judicial & legal system: the Pelicot #Rape Trial

Just. Plain. Gross.

#SexOffender says what?

#Trump, during remarks at a #Women’s History Month event, said he would be known as the “fertilization president.”

“We’re gonna have tremendous goodies in the bag for women too. The women, between the fertilization & all the other things we’re talking about, it’s gonna be great. Fertilization. I’m still very proud of it, I don’t care. I’ll be known as the fertilization president & that’s okay.”

NBC News · Trump administration live updates: Leaked Yemen strike messages released; House questions intelligence officialsBy NBC News

Today in Labor History March 25, 1931: The authorities arrested the Scottsboro Boys in Alabama and charged them with rape. The Scottsboro Boys were nine African American youths, ages 13 to 20, falsely accused of raping two white women. A lynch mob tried to murder them before they had even been indicted. All-white juries convicted each of them. Several judges gave death sentences, a common practice in Alabama at the time for black men convicted of raping white women. The Communist Party and the NAACP fought to get the cases appealed and retried. Finally, after numerous retrials and years in harsh prisons, four of the Scottsboro Boys were acquitted and released. The other five were got sentences ranging from 75 years to death. All were released or escaped by 1946. Poet and playwright Langston Hughes wrote it in his work Scottsboro Limited. And Richard Wright's 1940 novel Native Son was influenced by the case.

A man has confessed to fifteen rapes after drugging his victims. The 34-year-old suspect is a landscaper by profession and has no criminal record. According to the prosecutor in Montpellier, he "admitted to filming the events and acting under the influence of cocaine." In January, two women filed a complaint at a police station in Southern France, claiming they had been raped at home by their landscaper.

"The Trump regime is now stuffed with alleged rapists and sexual abusers. Besides Trump himself, there is his defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and Hhealth and human services secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr; Trump’s first pick for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, was accused in a House ethics report of 'regularly' paying for sex, including with minors."
