Billy Porter and Malcolm Kenyatta: New Pa. law criminalizes HIV. Get rid of it | Opinion

This court case could make it a crime to be a journalist in Texas

Priscilla Villarreal found herself in a jail cell for publishing two routine stories. A federal court still can't decide what to do about that.
