A 16th century French anatomist described the clitoris as the “shameful member.” Most anatomy textbooks didn’t make room for it until the 20th century. Now, in 2026 (FINALLY) we have the first-ever map of the entire clitoris. Thanks, science.

Behold: The First-Ever Map of the Entire Clitoris

Ju Young Lee knows the clitoris doesn’t get enough respect in scientific circles. As she points out in her new study, “Neuroanatomy of the clitoris,” a 16th century French anatomist described the sexu...

At a recent trip out of JFK an armed ICE agent at the TSA desk asked me — and no one else in line — for a second form of ID after I showed my passport. I wrote about the interaction for The Intercept theintercept.com/2026/03/28/i...

I had an ultimately harmless encounter with ICE at an airport TSA checkpoint. It was a preview of a new, more sophisticated way to terrorize people.
