Protest poster, white text on red background, which reads "Child rapist. Liar. Con man. Thief. Cheater. Adulterer. Murderer. End Trump now"

Protest poster which reads "Same shit. Different hat." above drawings of a KKK mask, a confederacy hat, a German SS hat, and a MAGA hat.

Multiple protest posters. One reads "protect our public lands". Another reads "Fund healthcare not wealthcare". A third reads "It's no longer a difference in political opinion, it's a difference in morality"

After 17 Years, DNA Tied a Man to Her Rape. Under Massachusetts Law, It Was Too Late.
---

Massachusetts has one of the strictest deadlines in the country for prosecuting rape. After the 15-year mark, no DNA match, testimony or even confession can give a rape victim a chance of facing their attacker in court.

The cruelty is the point: #ICE releases woman it had locked up for 10 days by shoving her out the door of its Burlington hole in the pouring rain, with no phone, 30 miles from home; she walked over to the Burlington Mall and begged for help at the Cheesecake Factory.

Update. Laws like the one in #Connecticut are under consideration in #Hawaii, #Massachusetts, and #NewJersey. Big #publishers and the #AuthorsGuild are lobbying against them.

From Alan Inouye (@alansinouye), former director of public policy for the American Library Association (@alalibrary): “It’s really sad [that opposition limits libraries] to what we had [in the age of print]. In effect, we’re excluding the possibility of being better in the digital world.”
