| As children continue to be detained – imprisoned, really – across the country without their parents, I can’t help but think of the conservatives’ insistence that they’re “pro-life”. Let’s not even get into the women that will die should abortion become illegal; let’s talk about the children who are already here, who are suffering, who Republicans have abandoned. | As children continue to be detained – imprisoned, really – across the country without their parents, I can’t help but think of the conservatives’ insistence that they’re “pro-life”.

| Reports have come out of children with lice, bed bug bites, and emotional trauma. Children who haven’t been bathed in weeks or more. Children who are being forcibly injected with drugs to keep them docile. | Reports have come out of children with lice, bed bug bites, and emotional trauma.

Jay Smooth, host of the much-beloved hip hop radio show The Underground Railroad, resigned this week from WBAI in protest over the station putting Leonard Lopate back on air. Lopate had previously been fired for misconduct against women. (This comes after the station made thinly-veiled threats against Smooth for his criticism of their decision.) | There are still good men in the world.

| Now, it’s not exactly good news that a principled man left his radio show while one accused of harassment remains. But I know Jay will go on to do great things; and it gives me hope that there are still men willing to take difficult stands against sexual harassment. | Now, it’s not exactly good news that a principled man left his radio show while one accused of harassment remains.

| Republican congressman Jason Lewis once bemoaned not being able to call women ‘sluts’ any more, and that women were more guided by “emotion than reason”. So on a scale of 1 to 10, I’m a solid 8.
