Why I Didn’t Report My Rape In 2021, six men sexually assaulted me in a Las Vegas hotel room. Something more than abolitionism prevented me from reporting the crime.

I am unspeakably moved by Anna‘s words (as well as her decision) and, because she is being attacked by carceral leftists, it seems important to add that your “justice system“ is a nightmare. Praxis is life.

All the traits that you have been taught to value and look for in special individuals - courage, intelligence, strength - are actually collective traits. There is no genius or hero coming to save us from our problems. We solve them together or not at all. Socialism or barbarism.

Free Healing | Astra Lincoln At a time when the aperture of America’s care network is closing, Love Heals insists on caring for everyone.

“Here lies one problem at the heart of the free clinic model: If indeed it is the only option for its patients, what to do with the people they are ill-equipped to help?”

State Prisons Are Turning Away Visitors After Scanners Pick Up Their… Guards demanded body scanners to cut down on contraband. Now they’re turning visitors away over their hygiene and medical supplies.

Prison guards are turning visitors away after their body scans pick up “normal anatomy, medical conditions, and predictable artifacts.”

Our Trans Protections Aren’t Strong Enough for the Trump Era Many states have passed so-called “shield laws” to protect trans people. But they weren’t designed for a presidency like Donald Trump’s.

Donald Trump is waging war on trans people—and the state laws meant to protect them aren't strong enough.

Massive encroachment by Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section - makes clear dissenting views will not be published

I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

LGBTQ federal workers brace for a McCarthyist purge "They’re not asking people ‘Are you gay? Are you lesbian?’ They’re asking, ‘Who is participating in DEI?'"

LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare.
