For years, our Mentor-by-Mail program has been the quiet pulse behind countless transformations. It starts simply — a letter from a volunteer to an incarcerated sex worker or survivor. But that first piece of mail is often the first piece of hope someone has received in months.

GAATW warns that some groups are now using anti-trafficking rhetoric to push bans on surrogacy and spread transphobic agendas.

A bizarre new alliance is coming after sexual freedoms
Radical feminists and religious groups teamed up against sex work. Now they’re going after broader reproductive freedoms

To the world: many of us here are fighting every day. In the streets, in the courts, in our schools, neighborhoods, & homes. We push back in every place we can reach, seen and unseen. The U.S is not a monolith. A great many of us are resisting with everything we have.
I hope you can forgive us 🙏🏻

A little-known chapter of World War Two history is that of the 201 Fighter Squadron, Aguilas Aztecas. I had the honor of talking with one of its members when I was young. So this is a way to honor him and the squadron. Free Substack

When You Intersect With Living History
When I graduated from the first-aid school in Mexico City in 1983, I promptly joined the Third Company of medics, even though we were not trained beyond first-responder level at the time.

My law firm is currently litigating 61 voting and election cases, including 12 redistricting cases. We have four cases in one stage or another before the Supreme Court.
These cases — and others like them —
will play a pivotal role in whether we have free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028.

The incompetence, double dealing, deception and backstabbing surrounding the Ukrainian “peace proposal” is breathtaking. Heard that Rubio is pulling his dyed hair out.

So Trump wants a win, any win. And given how transactional he is, he does not understand why people fight. This is a man who called US servicemembers fools. He also has no idea about concepts such as dignity.

Trump is pushing us past the point of no return, towards a world war against Russia and China, his legacy will be shaped by his collaboration with those powers, and by his monumental acts of criminality, terrorism, and treason.

Yes. U.S. service members have a legal and moral obligation to disobey an illegal order.
