Thank you for honoring Amie Ichikawa. She’s an amazing, indefatigable woman…a true hero…released from prison eleven years ago and fighting ever since. Abigail Shrier deserves credit for introducing Ichikawa through her groundbreaking investigation of the California prison system, published first in the Wall Street Journal and then on her Truth Fairy Substack in 2021. Ichikawa was a primary source for that reporting.
Thank you too for updating us on the “NO” vote against judge Sarah Netburn. What an excellent outcome. The testimonies of Cruz and Lee are very powerful and would not have been possible without Ichikawa’s years of tireless activism and the massive letter writing campaign that preceded the vote. Even a Democrat like Ossoff was open to influence. Wonders never cease.
The evidence was incontrovertible. Netburn is a useful idiot, a clueless ideologue, and her appointment would have set a horrible precedent.
What moves me most about Cruz and Lee is their ability to empathize with women and to articulate the same horror and revulsion that I feel every time I think of rapists and murderers luxuriating in women’s prison. There aren’t two sides to this issue. There’s only right and wrong.
The power of our voices should never be underestimated! Kudos to all especially Amie Ichikawa and Alissa Kamholz for their courage in standing up for women!
Amie's a hero! I am focusing on this policy, male sex offenders in female prisons, because it shows that democrats don't really give a shit about women, and especially women of color. female prisoners are the most vulnerable women in America. Imagine being locked in a cage with a male, sexual predator of women and they call this "equality." I cannot imagine the terror, anxiety and trauma those women have to live with. How do they sleep?!! All over cesspool- of- stupidity- Tik Tok, they're doing lives about how Trump is a sexual abuser, and how could you vote for a sex abuser? I went on a few lives, and was immediately muted, then dropped when I dropped truth bombs. First of all, they know nothing about this, second of all, it disrupts their narrative, and for this reason we need to spread the word. This is the cruelest, most horrific policy ever passed. I will vote for a convicted felon if he were to reverse this policy, that is a U.N. human rights violation. I couldn't talk about this subject for about a year, it was so traumatizing. I'm survivor or rape myself. But I'm talking now, and I will not shut up until it's reversed.
Amie has discussed your question, “how do they sleep?” In the Chowchilla facility, women are housed in dorm-like settings, with six or eight women to a room, sleeping on bunk beds. There’s one toilet that they all share. This approach is acceptable to the women and it wards off loneliness. The problem is that the addition of one male prisoner alters the chemistry entirely. Now there’s a wolf in the henhouse and nobody can sleep without fear. To overcome this problem, the women create a schedule and they take turns, two women at a time, staying awake the entire night to protect their sisters in case the wolf gets hungry.
Georgia's senator Jon Ossoff is a treasure for being a Democrat who did not go along with the Democratic Party's embrace of every item on the trans agenda. Something about gender identity ideology makes Democrats abandon their critical faculties. In their eyes, trans women are women and no amount of persuasion will make them change their minds.
Since Ossoff has shown some independence, he might be able to educate other Democrats about the harms of gender ideology. It could be an opportunity to make inroads on trans activists' capture of the Democratic Party. If any gender critical activists are working in D.C. they should consider approaching Ossoff.
This is critical because Senators Cruz and Lee are toxic to many centrist Democratic voters who might come around to the gender critical point of view if they heard it espoused by a fellow Democrat.
That’s a good idea. As a lifelong but alienated Democrat, I’m constantly looking for reasons to have hope for my party. I’m going to write to Ossoff and thank him for his principled vote. But I will also write and thank Senators Cruz and Lee. Partisan politics are tearing the country apart, and men in women’s prisons should not be a partisan issue.
I am so grateful to those who see this for what it is and do not just blindly spew out lies because they either don’t care about the reality and just want to preserve their own comfort and security, or they are so ignorant and have never taken the time to question because they believe any progressive, liberal narrative is always the good one.
I had a convo this morning walking my dog when a woman who never questions why other women or people feel how they do but thinks democrats are the good guys, always, and it made me want to scream ”shut up until you have a fact or a clue!”
You can spot them a mile away, the people who just believe everything they see on CNN or FOX and they are the same types of people: low rung thinkers who haven’t a fact amongst them.
Amie needed this win, not just because she and all women with brains know how wrong it is to put males in with females in prison, but because she is a warrior with incredible humanity. She needed this so she can keep fighting, even harder, to help the women inside.❤️💔
Ossoff has pronouns in his Twitter bio, so it's all the more surprising that he was able to be swayed. Hopefully, more Democrats will come to their senses.
Ossoff has been deep into prison oversight bill that just passed Senate. Young guy, not a life time politician with common sense. Nice work!
Let's hope he doesn't get kicked out of the party for not being a sheep.
They'll probably say he sexually harassed a woman.Just watch. That's their go-to claim to destroy a man.
Could be. Or they're just primary him.

Horrific.
Yes, it is.
We will end this bullshit.
I’m proud of Sen. Jon Ossoff!
Someone asked how to support Amie's organization. You can donate at https://www.womaniiwoman.org/general-1 They do such great work.

A toast to Amie Ichekawa and Jon Ossoff!

So true. It's a frustrating phenomenon, and apparently not open to change.
Thank you so much for highlighting Amie Ichikawa. Fantastic that she and her organization had this impact. So inspiring, and so needed!
Does Amie have an organization? If so, how can one make a donation?

oh BRAVO! Amie deserves it. what a trooper! may that woman "lawyer" rot in hell, but I'm guessing she's already there.
