Today in court, a survivor was forced once again to relive horrific sexual assaults under brutal cross-examination. This system retraumatizes instead of protecting. This must end.

And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

Unfortunately we are a half century into this counter-revolution, and all our collective institutions are so diminished that we don't feel strong or organized enough to fight them.
