A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women. Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.

The far right is taking power all around Latin America. This weekend, Brazil will choose whether to return Lula to office or put Bolsonaro's son in power. Our Brazilian comrades explore the stakes, arguing that only grassroots direct action can address Brazil's problems. crimethinc.com/Brazil2026

they (tracey and ilk) are trying to dox jane doe so they can dissect her life piece by piece. determining if she's a human being or "perfect victim" they'll harass her until she drops the charges. they want to blame her for the actions of her rapists.

3 things about the cornell case: 1. the DA is very obviously covering his own ass - imagine how many other victims he's buried with these types of actions 2. this isn't unique, this is how the state broadly carries itself against SA & DV victims 3. cops lie. all the fucking time.

19th century Ryan Grim: Based on the orderly nature of the stab wounds, “the ripper” is a highly inaccurate name. Its journalistic malpractice to not give “Jack” credit for minimizing suffering and killing painlessly 19th century Michael Tracey: I think these bitches alive 💯

"Meanwhile, Jane Doe dropped out of Cornell and was denied her request to get her tuition refunded so that she could transfer to a different college. She hence faced more severe consequences than most of the men who she alleges gang-raped her." www.thecut.com/article/what...

thecut.comWhat It Feels Like at Cornell Right NowAs a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

Friend of mine was the lobbyist for anti-sexual violence organizations in Colorado during the Kobe Bryant trial. His attorney said her name in open court multiple times. Rape crisis hotline went silent for 6 mos. When it started again, 1st question was often "will I be named like she was?"

Maryland is one of the wealthiest states in the country. They could have raised taxes instead of cutting services
