Excellent article in Philadelpia Inquirer on helping sexual assault survivors. We need more ways for survivors to fight back, to make criminal charges, and to heal. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
inquirer.com
I’m a sexual assault nurse examiner. Jane Doe’s texts from Cornell sound like what I hear in Philadelphia | Opinion
Two of the multiple ways survivors of sexual assault cope is by early normalizing and minimizing phases. But our systems tend to treat whatever a survivor says during these as the whole story.

Brendan Ballou on the Truth Social lawsuit, which now includes Natalie Harp: Public reporting shows that he relies on people like Natalie Harp… If we’re going to seek injunctive relief, it’s not just going to be against the president, but against the whole infrastructure…
