I can't write much today because my left arm is in a lot of pain, possibly from typing 10k+ words a day for the past week, so, I wanted to share this article by Courtney Desiree Morris:

   "Maybe it isn't that informants are difficult to spot but rather that we have collectively ignored the signs that give them away. To save our movements, we need to come to terms with the connections between gender violence, male privilege, and the strategies that informants (and people who just act like them) use to destabilize radical movements. Time and again heterosexual men in radical movements have been allowed to assert their privilege and subordinate others."
