content warning: discussion about sexual violence.

tannara, marge & james chat about abusers and predators in leftist spaces in the wake of revelations about the likes of sam kriss, lana del raytheon and emmett rensin. what should we do with such people? how does a carceral framing impact our responses? is there any way that abusers can be rehabilitated, or should we opt for shaming and excommunication?

there are no easy answers, and this is only a very brief dip into a massive and extremely complicated subject. solidarity with all survivors.
