I have a story out today in the @NewYorker. This is a story that asks you to think about, as one expert put it to me, "the ways that human trafficking intersects with the legitimate economy." newyorker.com/news/a-reporte…
Should Hotel Chains Be Held Liable for Human Trafficking?

Should Hotel Chains Be Held Liable for Human Trafficking?

For decades, franchised hotels have been a common scene of sex-trafficking crimes in the U.S. A new legal strategy is targeting the corporations that collect royalties from them.

The stunt took place in LA, but the roots of the antisemitic propaganda group behind it lead back to the Bay Area. “The GDL are not simply keyboard warriors. They’re engaging in real-world bigotry and threatening behavior." buff.ly/3Sdyf73 via @monicazlam @SmallRadio2
