If you have things to add, leave them in the comments below. Trigger warnings for statistics and/or descriptions of rape, violence against women, photos…
SCOTUS Voter ID decision and CIR
In what may be the first of many big decisions announced this week, the Supreme Court rejected Arizona’s (racist) voter ID law.

Disgraced RJ publisher calls Nevada girls, especially Hispanics, “easy”

The revolution will not be televised: Ruminations on #femfuture and what it all means
There’s been a lot of bitching on the feminist interwebs about this whole #FemFuture: Online Revolution, proposed by Valenti Martin Media, aka Feministing co-creators Jessica Vanessa Valenti and Courtney Martin at a launch event at Barnard College on Monday. At its core, the #FemFuture project seeks to unify a disparate online feminist landscape and help…
