cw: rape When we imagine these situations, we imagine fighting back. She's a former long-haul trucker. She must've felt she was very capable and strong. Being snuck up on is like being sucker punched. Being caught out that way is psychologically very hard. It can challenge your view of yourself. ❤️

Does Mamdani have any jurisdiction over it? That would actually change things? That seems doubtful! At least there will be something. The community can put pressure on Callen-Lorde that will be a lot more effective than on NYU! Or Mt. Sinai.. (I have no illusions. I have (other) issues with C-L.)

The slides that leaked from briefings by US forces in Iraq in the aughts all looked like this. The alarming question was whether they were just designed to snow job higher-ups visiting the war zone, or if the people who made the slides believed they were brilliant.

My uncle wanted me to see the marker for the Christiana uprising (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christi...). The town stopped an enslaver from capturing and returning 4 people to enslavement. The enslaver was killed and the attempt foiled. 41 people were indicted for treason.

A marker with names of individuals tried for treason because they resisted the fugitive slave law.

The first man tried for treason was found not guilty in 15 mins. This is the marker in honor of caster handy.

This side of the stone marker lists the name of the enslaver who was killed. His son was injured.
