The Portsmouth-based company owns Cate Street Capital Holdings Group, which owns the facility, according to court records. | More…

Actually, Mary, it DOES fit the narrative and here’s why
We got a comment from Mary Anderson on Steve’s post “Is it Time to Change Everything Named after Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd?”
Why not tell the whole story of Robert Byrd or doesn’t it fit in with the premise of your story? Byrd belonged briefly to the Klan before entering public service. He spent a lifetime apologising for his involvement and atoning for it. He fought for civil rights. When he died the NAACP issued a tribute praising him.
Oh, but it does. |More…

Darlene Pawlik: My Treasure from Sex trafficking
I was groomed at 13 and sold for the first time on my 14th birthday. My trafficker was a man with a cue of girls in various stages of grooming or engagement in prostitution. He was charming. He’d be called a “Romeo Pimp”.
He seduced young girls and manipulated us into thinking we were making the decision to let grown men rape us for money. It was often brutal. It was never glamorous or empowering. It was not easy money. There was plenty of money changing hands, but we only saw enough for a meal or a high. | More…
