As abolitionist frameworks enter the mainstream, addressing gendered and sexual violence is treated like a conceptual trap. It's not, @isabeldcris writes.

Woman in Retrograde

Somewhere in the year of girl math, girl dinner, and hot-girl walks with the girlies, maturity became a dirty word.

For @newrepublic I spoke to the organizers who argue that even with the wrong candidate, the election is still a space to build power on the left.

The Bernie Organizers Who Want to Elect Biden—Then Defeat Him

A grassroots coalition is fighting like hell to build power for the left. Securing a Democratic win this presidential election is a necessary detour on that path.

Fact checking would be more rewarding and fulfilling if writers in general were well-sourced and if editors were receptive and understanding of the FC process. I guess what it boils down to is that it would help if everyone treated fact checkers with the respect they deserve.
