“None of the women I met at the halfway house could cite positive past relationships with men, yet all were encouraged to pursue reentry plans that involved men.”

I feel powerless watching this unfold so it’s time to do something. Does anyone have on-the-ground knowledge of ways we can support LA from a distance? Immigrant rights orgs, bail funds, mutual funds, etc. If you can’t answer, please boost and maybe someone else can.

The problem with the so-called "nonviolence" of the Civil Rights Era is that it is misnarrated. The retelling in the "American myth of progress" version of the Civil Rights movement was that it was completely nonviolent. That is not true. Plus let's call it its full name "nonviolent direct action"

i don’t know what to say about the images coming out of LA right now. but in case you need it, here’s a reminder that out in the streets, only water goes in your eyes. flush with water. take your clothes off when you get home & take a cool shower, wash yourself with dish soap a few times. godspeed.

News from me! Last week was my last week at Double Fine. It was an exciting time and I am very grateful to have learned so much at a beloved studio. This means I am looking for work! If you need someone with social media/community expertise, please reach out. Eager to start a fresh adventure!

I spoke to USA Today about the Diddy trial and the myth of "mutual abuse," which normalizes men's violence through casting the protective strategies survivors use to stay alive as violations of the "perfect victim" stereotype.

Hey Californians, let’s let @schiff.senate.gov know that meeting with anti-trans bigots isn’t how we’d prefer our senators spend their time?

I'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas! New email: [email protected] www.polygon.com/23776996/bar...

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

For those puzzled why the strong box office opening of SINNERS is being framed as disappointing somehow, Vulture gave the game away two days ago. Studios are freaking out about letting the copyright revert to Coogler, so the film can't be seen as a success. The fix is in.

“Imagine a world where there are tool libraries in every neighborhood, and they’re third spaces for people to hang out without having to spend money,” she said. “There are potlucks to share food, and urban farms.” truthout.org/articles/no-...

So what do we want this April? We want you to say “sex workers are survivors too.” We want you to stop demanding we report to systems that harm us. We want funding for us, not for programs that “rescue” us. We want you to believe us. We want you to fight for decriminalization on our terms.

I’ve been working with a team at the University of Michigan on a study about survivors’ experiences with reporting intimate materials that were created or shared without their consent. We’re looking for participants! Please share far and wide!

disability justice folk, what are your favorite reads (articles and such) about “crip time?”

NEWS: It began with Mahmoud Khalil. Now the Trump admin is trying to deport *hundreds* of students by vaguely saying they have criminal records—making them guess why. Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime. One's "criminal record"? Apparently being a domestic violence victim.

Medical neglect in detention IS a Disability Justice issue. Ableism fuels all forms of incarceration, as Talila Lewis writes. Thank you for covering this @metrauxjulia.bsky.social

Your daily opportunity to take action against fascism.

Amid growing criminalization, state violence, and fascism, building robust ecosystems of collective care is essential to our collective survival. Something you can do is to start mapping what exists now in your communities, to support and defend each other and people who are likely to be targeted:

Palestinian women come forward with allegations of sexual violence by Israeli forces, @kylietcheung.bsky.social writes. While Western media pushes unsubstantiated claims of a campaign of sexual violence led by Hamas, Palestinian survivors are punished for reporting Israeli soldiers for abuse.
