    This is the most important thing I've ever written. My friend and family Lauren @Wolfe321 was just fired by the @NYTimes after the NYT was pressured by fascists, Trumpkins and hypocrites on the right for tweeting she had "chills" after witnessing Biden's landing on the 20th.pic.twitter.com/YyWt0PubdR

        Let me tell you who Lauren is. How this has impacted her personally. And finally, how this is impacting her and her doggo right now.

        First, some personal stuff. Lauren has been like family to me for over 10 years now. How amazing is Lauren? She once gave several hundred dollars to someone she barely knew because he needed it while she herself had NO job, no health insurance, with very little savings.

        If you ever in the future read a story about a woman who literally takes their clothes off in public so they can cover someone else's body because they're cold, rest assured. That woman is Lauren. She has a heart so big that it's making me fucking cry to think this happened!

        Why did Lauren send that tweet? WHY DIDN'T EVERYONE??? We had a peaceful transfer of power after a coup attempt by the president of the United States that resulted in 6 people dying, the capitol being overrun and our democracy under direct threat for months!

        If you're "ANGRY" that someone had chills because fascism lost in this country, then you're most likely a fascist. And they went after Lauren with a vengeance. And I mean vengeance. You can search for @wolfe321 on Twitter and see.

        That's my friend Lauren. On the side of the street. Huddled with her doggo. Her lip is red because she had just been to the hospital to get stitches after an accident. They followed her with cameras. They cornered her and took pictures of her. For expressing relief.pic.twitter.com/DKIoVHhYJP

        But this isn't the worst. You think I'm just a writer mad that my writer friend was fired. But let me tell you who my writer friend is and what she has been through and done in the past few years. Lauren wrote about rape. In war. For years. YEARS.

        After working for years as a senior editor at Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Lauren helped launch and was the director of the Women Under Siege project @WomenUndrSiege. The project's sole aim was to cover sexualized violence against women - especially in conflict.

        Two important projects she worked on were projects literally no one else was interested in doing. The first project she started and ran for years was documenting sexual violence against women in the Syrian conflict:https://www.vice.com/en/article/dpjnpv/women-under-siege-lauren-wolfe-interview …

        For years, Lauren and I would talk on the phone and most of it would be consumed with how she basically lived her life around talking to women who had been violently raped in Syria that few people were seriously covering. She was dedicated to the point of harming her health.

        There were times when we spoke on the phone where I was torn between admiring the only journalist seriously pursuing the larger picture of thousands of women who were violently raped in Syria... And begging my friend to stop because she was exposing herself to extreme trauma.

        I can't tell you how many times I called Lauren and heard the voice of a tired, heartbroken and besieged journalist who refused to stop seeking justice. Then, watched as report after report by NGOs used her work to highlight mass sexual violence in Syria.

        You'd think that after years of covering rape in the Syrian conflict, Lauren would be like, "This is too much. I should stop." But you don't know Lauren. Instead, Lauren started working on a story that will give you nightmares just reading about it. Strong trigger warning!

She not only went on the ground to cover the story. She had the perpetrators arrested!https://www.undispatch.com/journalist-lauren-wolfe-reported-horrendous-war-crime-hours-later-perpetrators-arrested/ …

This is the Lauren the @NYTimes fired because she was relieved fascists didn't win in America.pic.twitter.com/JB0pSGUCkn

        This is Moose. Lauren adopted her as a stray when he was 3. He's now 11. He has bits of skin missing and scars. Indicative of abuse and hurt. He's like Lauren's shadow. And she would freaking die for him. He's aging and his care is getting more and more expensive.pic.twitter.com/rPsqjwVfvJ

        Meanwhile, the fascists fucks have found Lauren's phone number. They have found her email. And as you can expect, she is being inundated with threats to her life, to her safety and to the life and safety of Moose. And her recourse is to listen to @NYTimes tell her she's fired.
