I spoke with @elisewho.bsky.social and Jenna Friedman about Cornell, why institutions protect male violence, and where do we go from here. www.epsteinfilesbookclub.com/where-have-a...
"My assailant was found responsible for my sexual assault ... His punishment? He received a 'written reprimand,' was ordered to write a 'reflection paper,' and was placed on behavioral probation until he graduated two months later." Must-read by a Cornell grad: www.thecut.com/article/i-wa...

SCOOP: Nearly $9 million in federal family planning funds will go to organizations with anti-abortion ties. One org, which received almost $4.3 million, has never taken in more than $50k in a single year. Read more @autonomynews.co:
Midway through my call with @nbedera.bsky.social, I was so shocked I asked: "How are you not incandescent with rage every day?" If you want to understand the Cornell case and why universities fail survivors, read this. You may become furious too. (Gift link.) www.thecut.com/article/trum...

As the university system buckles under various pressures, Greek life has become even more central to the business of higher education.

A Jane Doe sued Cornell University and seven current and former students alleging they gang-raped her at the Chi Phi fraternity house in 2024 and the school failed to protect her after she reported the assault.

Are we really all "drinking abortions," as conservatives have alleged? Of course not. But that hasn’t stopped the Trump administration from launching a drinking-water study that will test for traces of abortion pills. Our explainer debunking these claims: www.thecut.com/article/epa-...

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

Quen Blackwell grew up on the internet. Now she’s got millions of Gen-Z followers across social media. For her next act, she wants to be a ‘multi-hyphenate Slay Bitch 3000.’

There is a corner of the internet I had never heard of before I started reporting this story. It’s called the “burnerverse”: a network of anon burner accounts ostensibly discussing college sports. But they have another goal: destroying young girls’ lives.🧵: www.wired.com/story/burner...
I have been floored by how well FURIOUS portrayed gender-violence survivors, so I spoke with creator Elizabeth Meriwether about how she achieved that level of realistic and devastating specificity. Our conversation for @thecut.com: www.thecut.com/article/hulu...

NEW: Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period. The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.
Today I joined the Majority Report to talk about the water crisis in Puerto Rico. Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/gfMeq6T...
So glad to see more of this type of reporting. Reuters is backing with data a lot of what advocates told me last year: www.thecut.com/article/how-...
President Trump administration's pledged to crack down on sex trafficking. Instead, investigations have stalled and prosecutions declined because of staffing shortages, funding cuts, immigration enforcement and growing distrust of the government among victims. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
The issue of ICE detaining trafficking survivors is a particularly insidious one. More here: www.thecut.com/article/sex-...

From a journalist who's covered abortion for a decade: this is a HUGE deal. SBA Pro-Life America is the top political group in this space. It had so far refused to publicly embrace using the dormant Comstock Act to restrict abortion (like ADF, AUL, Students for Life). That reticence ended on Friday
NEW: Big escalation from top anti-abortion group, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. For the first time, SBA calls on Trump admin to enforce the Comstock Act—a 19th-century law conservatives hope to use to ban abortion pills nationwide, if not all abortions cdn.prod.website-files.com/6a3d74d3d45b...
It truly bothers me to call San Juan an "American city" (and the video isn't even from San Juan, the location at the top says Trujillo Alto—a completely different town.) Puerto Rico is a colony of the United States. Let's be precise with our language.
A major humanitarian crisis is unfolding in a San Juan, Puerto Rico. Hundreds of thousands of people in and around the American city are facing rolling water shutoffs brought on by an historic drought. NBC News’ George Solis reports from a well that locals are using to get their water.
One more thing: I mean colony in the most literal sense. Downes v. Bidwell (1901) has never been overturned. This is what it says and this is how Puerto Rico has been treated since 1898. Más claro no canta un gallo, mi pana. supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...
This fall, WA voters will weigh in on a ballot measure to bar trans athletes from participating on girls’ sports teams. The initiative requires girls in K-12 school sports to undergo sex testing, including an examination of their reproductive anatomy. My latest: www.thecut.com/article/wash...
A decade ago, college-age women graduated into the glossy corporate-feminism era of Lean In and girlbosses trying to “have it all.” With that fantasy thoroughly popped, I wanted to find out what ambition looks like to today’s young women. Here's what they said: www.thecut.com/article/dont...

Daiana Lilo has no legal citizenship anywhere in the world. The only way she has any valid government identification is through her DACA permit. But, last month, she lost her permit due to the Trump administration’s renewals backlog, throwing her life into chaos. www.thecut.com/article/how-...

NEW at @autonomynews.co: The nation's largest abortion fund and support service went dark for a day last week because workers went on strike over management's refusal to bargain with them on AI protections. This ongoing dispute could lead to tremendous disruptions in the abortion access landscape:

Unless and until we hear otherwise, Justice Alito just let a nationwide telemedicine ban on mifepristone take effect via the shadow docket. follow @autonomynews.co to stay up to date
BREAKING: It’s now past 5pm ET and no word from the Supreme Court. This means the 5th Circuit’s ruling restricting telehealth prescriptions of mifepristone is now in effect. However the Supreme Court could act and change this at any time.
