Remember when we warned that SAVE Act would create unnecessary barriers for eligible voters? The response was always the same: “Just get the paperwork.” Well, Florida is showing us what “just get the paperwork” actually looks like. A Florida woman and Army veteran found that out when she ran...

They have charged senior citizen Miria Matembe with sectarianism. It fits the pattern exactly. They picked sectarianism against a woman who spent her whole life fighting for every Ugandan woman regardless of tribe, and they picked it because the charge was never the point. The charge is the paperwork. It exists to give Luzira a legal sounding reason to swallow her, so that when you ask why a 72-year-old is in a maximum security prison, somebody can wave a file at you and call it due process. This is how the machine works now. We have watched it do this to Besigye, to Lukwago, to Eddie Mutwe and countless others. Matembe is just the latest name fed through it. She was brought into that courtroom held up by two people, unable to stand on her own. Days ago she sat upright in her own home, clear and strong, telling the truth about this regime out loud. Now she could not walk into a room without being helped, her body showed the signs of torture wherever they have kept her since they took her. Days missing, her family never told where she was. Then she is brought to court like this and a sane magistrate accepts the charges against her and sends her to prison. She begged. She cried in that courtroom, asking the magistrate for bail so she could simply get to a hospital and have a scan, just to know whether something inside her was broken. She said, plainly, that she would not survive a night in prison without help. This is a woman who sat in the Constituent Assembly and fought for the document that courtroom claims to operate under, reduced to pleading for a scan like a stranger begging at a gate. The magistrate looked at her and looked away, then sent her to Luzira anyway. That same constitution allows her bail. It does not protect her now, because the people running this country have decided it does not apply to whoever Muhoozi is angry with this week. So let us not pretend this is a country of laws. A country of laws does not carry a sick 72-year-old into court and remand her to prison in that condition. They abducted Matembe. They tortured her. Then they brought her before a magistrate with a charge sheet already prepared, so the whole thing would look like justice instead of what it actually was. This is the system functioning exactly as it was built to function, and that is precisely the problem. Get her out. Get her to a hospital. Whoever you support, whatever you usually scroll past, this one should reach you, because they are showing us plainly what they are, and they are doing it to one of the best of us while asking us to call it law. 🎥Misheline Mutuzo #FreeMiriaMatembe #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersInUganda #FreeUganda

Athena talked to us about her rivalry with Asuka and said she would like to have one more match with her. “Oh, man. Like Asuka is one of those people, that’s a forever rival for me. Like when we were back on the indies, we actually ended up wrestling at Shimmer Women’s Wrestling. That’s where we met. We had one of the hardest hitting matches I think I’ve had in my career then, and then fast forward to WWE NXT for the NXT Women’s Championship. Asuka is my yin to my yang. I really hope she’s not stepping away. I’ve actually been trying to get a hold of her because I lost a whole bunch of people’s numbers when I switched my phone and everything. But man, talk about someone who’s just the epitome of what legendary status is or what a living legend is. I, to some extent, don’t feel like people really understand how much she’s done for wrestling as a whole. Like from grinding on the indies to being like an independent contractor in Japan to getting signed to WWE. Not only that, like just excelling in WWE in every form and facet from match to match, but never changing who she was as a person, a character. I couldn’t be more proud, more happy for her. I hate her in that same breath, of course. I also feel like I have to have one more match eventually and hope that this isn’t it. This isn’t the long goodbye, if you will. But like, Asuka’s one of those people that I wouldn’t be who I am as a performer, as an athlete, if she wasn’t in my life. If she wasn’t on the opposite side of the ring. I don’t think I would have gotten anything really if I didn’t have that experience with her."

I genuinely cannot understand how someone can watch this story and still stand there, looking at two women, and somehow decide that the wrong one is the victim. On one side, you have a girl (Yıldız) who has been mistreated her entire life. Since the moment she was born, she was treated like a sacrifice for a conflict she was never even part of and later we find out that this conflict never even existed. Her right to study was taken from her. She was pushed into a marriage at a very young age just imagine being six, seven, eight years old, living in fear of being tied to someone you don’t even know. She was treated like a servant in her own home, by the very people she thought were her family. And just when she gets close to the happiness she dreamed of, the man she was engaged to shows up with another wife. She gets mistreated by that wife, by his family, and even (unintentionally) by him, because he was trying to run away from his own feelings, and that only caused her more heartbreak. The whole world was literally against her. She fought through all of that, only to find out in the end that everything she suffered for was based on something that wasn’t even real. Her entire life was built on a lie. That she isn’t even part of that family that she has literally no one in this world. Now on the other side… You have a girl (Melek) who, yes, was taken from her biological mother but she was raised by loving parents. She had everything anyone could wish for: education, freedom, a happy childhood, a healthy environment. She lived her life, fell in love, went out, made choices and no one questioned her, no one controlled her. And then what did she do? She found out that her man was engaged to another woman before marrying her (and even saw him marry her) and instead of holding on to her dignity, she chose to stay, to fight for a man who lied to her, to hold onto a marriage he tried to end multiple times. She used her unborn child to keep him tied to her. She lied constantly, and her excuse was that she was “protecting her marriage” a marriage that was already broken from the moment Serhat removed that ring at the airport in episode one. She tried to hand Yıldız (a woman who had already suffered enough) over to dangerous people. Then she found out the truth about her own birth (that her father ra*ped her mother.)And still no empathy. No moment of humanity toward her own mother. All she cared about was herself. And even though none of this had anything to do with Yıldız, she still found a way to blame it on her. Instead of holding her father accountable, she went and made a deal with him to get rid of Yıldız. She literally made a deal with the devil just to hurt Yıldız one more time. And after all of that… you want me to feel sorry for her? You want me to call her a victim? I honestly cannot believe we are living on the same planet with people who see this and still say, “she’s the victim.” Not morally. Not logically. Not emotionally. There is no world where this makes sense. It’s like watching someone clearly cause harm, and still calling them the victim and actually BELIEVING it. #HalefKöklerinÇağrısı
