It was a crime that shocked the city and stayed a mystery for 65 years, but now police say they solved it. The perpetrator, they say, was a man who wore a Chicago Police Department star.

📚 One of the Nazis’ first major book burnings targeted the world’s first Trans+ clinic, where more than 20,000 books and pieces of research into Trans+ lives were erased. For #BannedBooksWeek, from our archive with @smartypantsmarty.com 👇

This Nazi book burning happened at world’s first trans clinic
Book burnings are a historic image many of us recognise. But the connection to the transgender community is little known

I would use a holodeck to watch movies in a thematically appropriate theater, or watch a live play where the prop and set design overhead is photons and power. Imagine holodeck drag shows with no budget limitations

People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.
Russell Stover has begun using prison labor to make candy in
Kansas
A Russell Stover candy factory in Kansas has begun hiring incarcerated workers through a work release program, Eoin Higgins reports in his newsletter, The Flashpoint. About 150 women are bussed in from the Topeka Correctional Facility and paid $14 an hour, but the prison keeps some of their wages for room and board, taxes, transportation, and other expenses. When all is said and done, they take home less than $6 per hour. These deductions are high, but elsewhere in the country, they're even higher: In our May series on prison

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Extremely proud of all the Iraqi female (and a number of male) social media influencers and activists who are speaking up against the highly regressive and misogynistic amended Personal Status Law in Iraq. They know that by speaking up they are putting so much at risk, but they are doing it anyways.

Chicagoland friends, I have a favor to ask. I have a pro bono client, a Black woman, who is currently facing charges for allegedly pointing a gun at her abusive ex - who admitted to raping her. I would love if there could be a show of support for her at her next few court dates.

One of the really cool things about this case is that one of the lead plaintiffs is Lioness - a nonprofit run by women who did time in sweltering Texas prisons themselves. Then they got out and spearheaded this lawsuit that could drastically improve life for all their sisters still inside.

Blue states are not safe for trans people because the ones doing the most direct, day-to-day harm to the trans community are not rabid Trumpists but the centrists and liberals cutting deals and following orders.

I’d reiterate that the key incident that drove the Cancel Culture panic - a wholly elite project, imposed from the top down - was the sight of Harvey Weinstein being dragged sobbing from court to jail, unprotected by his wealth, and the internet-based movement for justice that went with it.
