All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

Many men rape; many men giggle encouragingly, or shrug indifferently, when their friends rape. Many men rape, and few seem to think that it’s a very big deal, writes columnist Moira Donegan

It is simple, but it is not easy. I talked to two former USAID experts about how humanitarian food aid typically works. What I thought was a standard part of my old job is now the centerpiece of an unfolding discourse by bad actors who lie and obfuscate in order to starve Gaza to death. Read here:

I mean, no. The months prior to Trumps inauguration featured record-low truck entry into Gaza and the frequent effective closure of Kerem Shalom crossing due to violent looting if aid trucks by the IDF-backed Yasser Abu Shabaab gang. I'm talking like 2-6 trucks per day, vs the 500 minimum needed.

So far as I can tell, US options in the Gulf are as follows. 1. Land War 2. Give up on U.S. hegemony in the Middle East. It's been our policy since the mid-Seventies. Time for a change. 3. Pretend that we haven't lost and muddle on, at a cost of a couple of billion per week.

As far as I can tell, Nathan Cofnas finished out his postdoc at Cambridge University in the expected time frame, and the only thing that happened is he lost his college affiliation, which wasn’t actually his employment. I have only seen one press org get this right. And it’s an important point.

And there it is. Also scrolled through their account and they like to play the “criticism of Israel is antisemitism unless it’s worded in a precise way that I will not disclose” game.
Given a choice of only one in 1860, wouldn’t you have voted to end slavery over giving women the right to vote? 

I don’t see a reality where everyone gets their rights protected or recognized all at the same time. That is never how this country has worked.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.
