@heroinebook So, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you wrote this? washingtonpost.com/health/nonprof…
And we need to talk about it. Because it is just made of NOPE. #sexwork
@heroinebook First of all, I'm surprised to see someone happily extolling the practice of taking people's DNA nonconsensually, and then giving it to police (! ! !) so they can covertly track potentially vulnerable women without their knowledge. Medically! That is not ever a good thing. No.
@heroinebook And, if you had just checked the archives of WaPo, you would have learned a lot about these vague, scary, but essentially fact-free talking points of anti-sexworkers. A few links on the subject: washingtonpost.com/news/fact-chec…

Or washingtonpost.com/news/fact-chec…

Or washingtonpost.com/news/fact-chec…
@heroinebook Here's more JUST from WaPo: washingtonpost.com/news/fact-chec…
And! washingtonpost.com/news/fact-chec…
They don't stop! washingtonpost.com/news/fact-chec…
So I hope in the future, you'll be more rigorous in your fact checking in regards to this.

I have to say that, as bad as the situation is for sex workers right now, I have never seen so much positive journalism about us in mainstream media as I have the last few years, and it’s giving me tiny shreds of hope to cling to.
For perspective: I’ve seen more positive articles about sex work in the last six months then I did the entire first 15 years I was a sex worker. I really cannot emphasize how dramatically this has changed.
Media is not in and of itself a changing of norms or changing of the laws, but simply knowing that there is an issue here and it has a NAME is important.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think something has been missed in commentary that Labour policy, as passed at conference, dictates a referendum should only happen after a GE. Its this claim that forms basis of @skwawkbox's attack on @johnmcdonnellMP et al 1/
The policy dispute at conference was about what would be in our manifesto in a general election - it assumed a general election came first. The victory over @Another_Europe was whether in an *election campaign* the party would commit to backing remain in a future referendum. 2/
The key parts of the NEC-backed motion, passed at conference, are here - 3/

No matter what happens, today is HISTORIC and the work of @DecrimNowDC made this happen. @HIPSDC @NJNP_DC @SafeSpacesDC and many other groups are immeasurable. It’s truly a win. This moment is a win.
@councilofdc opens w @charlesallen setting an ask for respect and the necessity of this debate. @JackEvansWard2 gives some history on the issue in DC & approaches to prostitution - all rely on policing, inc “creative solutions” which were considered unconstitutionally harsh

Seit Jahren untersuche ich die US-Rechte: lese ihre Texte, analysiere polit. Entscheidungen, untersuche ihre Biographien - was man halt so macht. Ein Muster begegnet mir ständig: Die permanente Selbst-Viktimisierung, die im krassen Konstrast zur polit. und ökon. Macht steht. 1/
Eve Fairbanks beschreibt nun in einem exzellenten Artikel in der #WashingtonPost, wie weit diese spezifisch konservative Opfer-Rhetorik zurückreicht und wie sie im Antebellum South verwendet wurde, um Sklaverei zu verteidigen. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/0… 2/
Denn die Südstaatler sprachen nicht etwa von #slavery: "they anointed themselves the defenders of reason, free speech and civility." Als die wahren Verteidiger von Minderheitenrechten und Freiheit (der Sklavenhalter, wohlgemerkt.) 3/

“We’re 5 whores at @Yale -It feels really good! We are used to being excluded from institutions & places of power & being invisible. We think of #sexwork as being totally separate from these kind of spaces & we walk among you every day and everywhere.” #RebLaw25 -@MissLoreleiLee
"We have to convince legislators that we chose this work in a way that no other workers have to." - @MissLoreleiLee #RebLaw25 #sexwork
