    Haha. Michele Stills might suddenly be my new favorite editorialist. This was quite an amusing and incisive read.

    Don’t get me wrong, my heart goes out to these folks (despite their obstinate stupidity) because no one should have to suffer the trauma and anguish they’ve gone through. But assuming the coverage is accurate, they’ve 100% supported the abuse all along, and that’s pretty fucked up.

    EDIT: Also I don’t see the supposed censorship people are claiming. The victim here was quoted as saying “I almost died” and it also includes the word “dying” so it seems fine to me. But I load this shit in Firefox Focus with an ad-blocking VPN so YMMV.
