I found this video really moving, it reminded me of the many professors who put themselves in harm's way to protect their students during the encampments for Palestine, but I can't really think of an elected official here in the US doing the same

This is not the kind of thing you worry about if you're leaving office and accept the other party might win an election in a couple of years.

Something I learned just this week: "only 4% of the world’s women and girls live in the U.S., but the U.S. confines ONE-QUARTER of the world’s incarcerated women and girls." www.prisonpolicy.org/global/women...
a chart from Prison Policy comparing states' incarceration rates of women to the other countries' rates.
it shows about 20 states who incarcerate women at a higher rate than even the most incarceration-friendly countries (el salvador, dem. rep. of congo, thailand). three states - south dakota, montana and idaho - incarcerate women at a higher rate than the country of El Salvador.

I’ll also add that most of the heat should be directed at USA Today, but the journalists who participated in this breach of ethics also made a choice. Organizations are made up of people. We can’t absolve the people who do harm on the behalf of an organization.

As an expert on sexual violence, I have to add that these ethical violations are a nightmare for interviews on sensitive subjects. I would never recommend ANY survivor goes public with their story at an outlet that would do this to them.

IF it were possible they were going to share yr interview internally, you should have been told up front at MINIMUM

Samuel Alito is correct when he says the institution of SCOTUS has been reputationally damaged...and that's because Samuel Alito and his conservative member brethren cannot seem to shut the fuck up.
