[thread] I just read a heartbreaking private Facebook post by a dear friend who was "violently sexually and physically assaulted" for years by an editor of a prominent publication who freelances for other prominent publications. I'm not sharing their identity because they don't want to get dragged through the ringer of being a #metoo accuser, but over the years, my friend has shared their story with editors at the various publications this person writes for, and it doesn't seem to have cost him any gigs.

[thread] There was a shooting at 3am in the CHOP. Medics acted quickly to transport victims to the hospital. 1 of the 2 victims died. Police are now spinning it as evidence that the protesters are dangerous. But what it actually shows is how vulnerable they are to attacks. Why are they so vulnerable to attacks? For two weeks, the police have been telling the media how dangerous protesters are, and the media have been reporting this unquestioningly. This encourages vigilantism and emboldens white supremacists.

They are endangering everyone.
