The entire backlog of 10,000 sexual assault kits in Washington has now been completely processed.

This was only possible thanks to the incredible advocacy of survivors like Leah Griffin, who worked tirelessly to see this backlog ended through legislation sponsored by #WALeg champion Tina Orwall.

From testing to tracking - Washington clears backlog of Sexual Assault Kits

WASHINGTON - Nearly 10,000 backlogged sexual assault kits (SAKs) now processed as Washington State facilities have received more funding and resources to address these cases.

Ahhhh. Yes. You know it’s holiday season when it’s time to decide what flowers to put on your dead parents grave. Sigh.

They’re wretched. The defense is so bad and I’m baffled as to why.

I’m NOT SORRY!!!

I think blaming rape victims for their rape is a disqualifying thing as a potential candidate for any public office and I don’t think this should be that freaking difficult.

It’s quite a progressive view actually.

FFS people. Let the Maine guy go. There are other candidates!

Oof. They just let him stroll into the zone and boom. The #NHLBruins defense was supposed to be a strength & right now, it’s bad.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Lazy plays in the neutral zone &/or their defensive end are killing the #NHLBruins right now.

I would note that this disdain points in one direction. These legacy media outlets have been quick to cover and hype tea party protests, anti-mask/anti-vax protests, and countless other examples of what they call “real Americans” engaging in protest.

Ned Resnikoff @resnikoff.bsky.social · 2d

For sure some of the legacy media outlets are downplaying the protests because they’re aligned with Trump, but I think an even bigger factor is how many elite journalists have a patrician disdain for the idea that politics can happen in the streets and not just the CNN green room.

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

Our recent poll found that women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average. Nearly 80 percent of Gen Z women want abortion to be legal and seven in 10 want gender-affirming care to be accessible for trans adults.

Gen Z women are the most liberal group in the country

On issues like abortion and gender-affirming care, women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average.

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

The costume strategy is great. Totally defangs their argument that we’re all domestic terrorists.

By the way, Trump pardoned actual domestic terrorists like the Proud Boys leaders.

I just wanna point out that this online No Kings protest organized by disabled folks is offering more opportunities for follow-up and additional action than I’ve seen for any of the in-person events.

Not hatin’- just sayin’ 💁🏽‍♀️

Wanna to go to a virtual No Kings rally that focuses on healthcare (with a side of "vaccines are good, actually" and "eugenics is bad, actually")?

Organized by disabled folks who can't go to an in-person event.

My feeling is that the most important opportunity for the 2026 midterms is not flipping Congress to the Dems, but flipping the Dems to an actual opposition party.
