Grotesque: In a dispute over a will, two brothers including a retired Alabama state trooper now working at a federal courthouse, appear to have gotten their mother-in-law arrested by ICE.
Using the state to remove disfavored family members is the sort of thing that happens in totalitarian regimes.

The fact that Platner is in the front runner position he is in is a structural problem that won’t get addressed by focusing on him and not the context in which he gets that position

I adore Max so I say this with respect: this is the wrong line of questions

The correct one is: what are the political conditions in Maine such that he is more popular than his opponents with working class white folks *and* POC despite his problems? Why don’t the Dems do better talent development?

Missouri town fires half its city council over data center deal Residents of a St. Louis suburb turned out in droves to unseat four incumbents just days after the council approved a development agreement for a $6 billion data center.

Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection

TW: In 1996, I learned about Juanita Thomas through the Michigan Women’s Justice and Clemency Project. On July 28, 1979, Juanita killed Willie Hammond as she escaped his physical and sexual attacks.

Prior to that night, she had endured several years of abuse, including beatings, verbal abuse, physical & verbal threats against her life, threats of sexual violence against her children, & economic coercion.

I wrote to Juanita for several months until she gained her freedom from prison in 1998.

She spent 18.5 years inside until law professor Andrea Lyon and her students helped release her from Michigan’s Coldwater prison. They uncovered evidence that would have helped Juanita, which the prosecution destroyed.

This was my first experience of writing to incarcerated survivors of DV/SA.

Unfortunately, Juanita’s story was not unique. Survived and Punished exists because there are still many Juanitas incarcerated across the United States today.

These survivors are often ignored by DV/SA organizations, even still today.

10 Years of Survived and Punished Join us virtually on April 28th from 6:30 to 8:00 pm ET to celebrate our collective accomplishments and to mourn our losses.

You can learn more about S & P's work at our 10 year anniversary virtual event: survivedpunished10years.eventbrite.com

People on here and elsewhere often cavalierly comment that if they were abused, they would kill their abusers. The reality is that if you do, you are likely to spend the rest of your life in prison because in particular women who kill their abusers are judged extremely harshly.
