The community response to the United States bills known as FOSTA-SESTA represents a sea change in American sex worker organizing. Supposedly, these bills were intended by their Congressional authors to change how the internet is regulated in order to make the country safer for victims of sex trafficking. We’ll talk plenty over the course of this podcast series about how that was supposed to work, and why it hasn’t. Let Us Survive, an oral history project by sex workers for everyone, covers a decade of American sex worker justice movements, roughly 2013 to 2023. It also gazes towards the ...

On D-Day 15 September 1944, five infantry battalions of the 1st Marine Division’s 1st, 5th, and 7th Marines, in amphibian tractors (LVTs) lumbered across 600–800 yards of coral reef fringing smoking, reportedly smashed Peleliu in the Palau Island group and toward five selected landing beaches. That westward anchor of the 1,000-mile-long Caroline archipelago was viewed by some U.S. planners as obstacles, or threats, to continued advances against Japan’s Pacific empire.

Mas, aqui, caro tripulante, aqui trata-se de um navio pirata. Navegar não será o suficiente. Neste navio mergulharemos nossas cabeças d'baixo d'água pra ...
