Now would be a good time to reacquaint yourself with Elizabeth Schambelan's writing on fraternities, male bonding, gang rape, and the relationship between hazing and counterinsurgency 🧵:

From settlers’ early efforts to promote “Christian” family arrangements among Native Americans to anti-prostitution efforts at military bases, the U.S. has long attempted to police the practice of sex beyond its borders, writes Eva Payne. foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/29…
I wrote about how the U.S. enforces its vision of sexual morality abroad for @ForeignPolicy!

Cannot wait to read this book!
Excited to announce that my book is now available for pre-order! Anything of Value combines memoir with historical research and critical theory, describing my 2 decades in SW & journey to law school, and ultimately arguing for decriminalization @AtriaBooks simonandschuster.com/books/A…

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, @JupitersArmy and her coworkers fought back—fast.
They organized a union in SIX DAYS. Here’s how they did it:
The workers at the Sheri's Ranch brothel in Nevada decided to unionize. Their bosses retaliated with stunning viciousness. @GrimKim has more.

✨ Very excited that my book proofs have arrived! “The Politics of Care Work: Puerto Rican Women Organizing for Social Justice” will be out in May from @DukePress ✨ It’s starting to feel real!
The control of women’s bodies, under the guise of protection, has been a crucial part of how US power has operated and expanded on the global stage. Americans’ war on prostitution in the early twentieth century helped to cement this pattern.
