This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

It astounds me that the Violence Against Women Act exists and yet we seldom see it mentioned or applied in such obvious cases. Why can't we call rape and group rape what they are and prosecute them as such: hate crimes? Ditto domestic violence?

I'm reminded of Frankel's dual state: one group is subjected to the normative state ("rule of law") by the govt and the others to a prerogative state (they lack coverage by the law). It's been raised to explain the open corruption and pardoning of the ultrawealthy & Trump's favored alike.

i suppose i’m not surprised that it is difficult to make people care about something that is low visibility — the vast majority of people have no idea who piker is — and low salience. i think we’re also going to find, for similar reasons, that the anti-trans messaging isn’t working either.

When the system has to be shamed, even sued, to act, it is not a system victims can trust. It needs an adversary, & not a young woman or child who has just experienced the most traumatizing moment of her life. It wasnt just the 7 intent on dominating, violating, & destroying her.

Report you've unequivocally been raped then have an advocate for any details. Because authorities are going to manipulate, twist, even lie about, what victims say to discredit & smear them. The system clearly isn't in place for a victim's interests, it's for the rapist's.

The Cornell case, particularly the school & DA's response, demonstrate why rape victims need an advocate to protect them. The system is hostile to victims & looking to discredit & vilify them. She did everything right but it wasn't just the rapists looking to harm her.

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.

Men will claim they don't defend violent men because they don't actually care about any man. They only care about the power their violence enforces. Their defenses look like terrorism because their societal contributions are terrorism, not caregiving.

This is also sexual terrorism, every bit as effective as rape. This is yet another way men identify with rapists & worship the violence of other men. This is men acting as a class to defend their violent enforcement of the oppression of women. But why don't women report, eh?
