"How could it possibly be state sanctioned that we have men who have raped babies licking their lips, looking at tiny children in a women's prison in the mother/baby unit?"

Just one thing I want to add regarding Dana Rivers (David Warfield) - he began the process of "transitioning" while he was a teacher, which was part of the reason why the parents were so upset. He was discussing the surgical removal of his penis with students allegedly in detail. He had also credited pornography with his decision to identify as a "lesbian." I think it's important to point this out because the porn connection is a massive through-line. Thanks so much for highlighting Reduxx and speaking with Anna, she's a powerhouse!
Anna is right up there with Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi in terms of journalists one simply must read to understand the world in which we live.
Of course, she is NEVER mentioned in the same breath in which they are mentioned. In the long run, however, when people look back at this era I think this particular madness will be the one upon which they most often focus and the one most often analyzed to understand the spirit of the age. That it was just a sort of plucky little outlet like Reduxx that was so alone in covering it journalistically (not to ignore the many amazing feminist women who are analyzing, protesting, organizing) will be one of the more startling facts about the whole startling story.
Also -- I had to sternly lecture myself that I was not allowed to just start screaming in rage while listening, which does no good for anyone and only harm to my blood vessels. But it took a lot of discipline.
I honestly don't understand the acquiescence of police and the prison establishment in all of this. For my entire life these have been among the most conservative, even reactionary entities in the Anglosphere. I find it as mystifying as I find it nauseating. Are these perverts proxies for some latent perversion in the general population? Some widespread loathing for children? I hand it to Anna and Reduxx for doing this work, because I wouldn't have the stomach for it. But I think women are going to have to get vigilante about this. Writing articles that are ruthlessly siloed off from the mainstream isn't going to change anything.
Anna and Reduxx deserve every goddamn journalism award there is, and they'll never get them.

Incredible. This is a really eye opening interview. Thanks for putting it out.

The world needs more people like Anna, thank you!
Terrific interview. Anna is breathtaking.
