Unbelievable. From Solitary Watch: Prisoner Sent to Solitary for Reporting Rape Takes Her Case to the Supreme Court.
The horror of "Secure Communities" - putting everyone at danger by decreasing trust in cops and victims' ability to report crimes. "The Washington Post profiles Maria Bolanos, an undocumented immigrant affected by the Obama administration's new policy of linking local law enforcement to federal immigration status. In other words, once you get involved in the criminal justice system in any way, whether as a victim or a perpetrator, your status is on the table."
So brave. "A transgender female-to-male basketball player at George Washington University is about to put the NCAA to the test. Kye Allums has been on the school's women's basketball team since 2008, but when the season starts later this month, the 20-year-old is premiering as a man. It will be the first time an openly transgender player has played Division 1 basketball."
