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.

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.

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.

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!
An invitation to a study with the text, “Have your intimate photos or videos ever been shared online without consent? Share your experience in a short and confidential survey.” There is a small red box with the text, “Chance to win a $50 gift card” and a QR code with the link bit.ly/reporting-study . The University of Michigan’s logo (a golden yellow M) is in the corner.

The background is blue with abstract representations of locks, locked boxes, and occasional hearts. Most are gray. One lock symbol is red.
