Our office successfully defended Washington’s ban on selling and distributing over-the-counter sexual assault kits today, defeating a lawsuit brought by a Pennsylvania company that sells the self-administered kits for profit. Learn more: https://t.co/4OMYbdewjV

Kamala: "Fired by 81 million people and he's having a hard time processing that." "World leaders are laughing at Donald Trump." "Military leaders say you're a disgrace."

Trump: Victor Orban likes me!

She’s mastered the face of simultaneous pity and disgust and every woman knows that is *the* most important combo.

Kamala Harris just made patriotism great again.

Amidst the #MeToo movement, companies began marketing at-home sexual assault kits for survivors.

In @JAMAInternalMed, @jsross119, @reshmagar, and I ask: are companies in the self-described "business" of sexual assault actually empowering survivors -- or exploiting them? (1/9)

“This has nothing to do with me” is quite the statement from the UW football coach whose player is being charged with rape during sexual assault awareness month.

[The Daily of the University of Washington @thedaily]

BREAKING: The UW Athletic Department confirmed that they are aware of the arrest of a football player. Media outlets have reported the player to be Tylin “Tybo” Rogers, suspected of two counts of rape.

This is a developing story. (via @schwaarzy)

Don’t walk past what you can fix.

[Attorney General Nick Brown @AGOWA]

Powerful press conference last week announcing the elimination of the rape kit backlog. The work to find and test the kits, some of which date back to the 80s, started in 2015. Huge thank you to all who participated in the press conference and worked to achieve this milestone.
