Imagine if there had been restorative justice after slavery! I have more hope than ever. Revolutions force change. Unable to go back but we can create a better future. Deep down you have hope..Or you would not be trying to speak out hoping to make our world better. Thanks for sharing your truth!

COME OUT EN MASSE

They can, and I'm sure they will, try to intimidate people from coming out on October 18. They will try to instigate violence in order to escalate a violent response by themselves. They may try to arrest us. But they will fail at every attempt. We are stronger than they know.

Imagine if our justice system focused on restoration directly to the victim and rehabilitation of the incarcerated instead of punishment and profit as the only goals.

Thanks. The USA has missed the opportunity for restorative justice for its entire history. Maybe ....maybe we can learn from our past.

Me @chueedmd.bsky.social · 2h

Justice should seek to restore those harmed. That is where the USA has been wrong. Justice must restore victims at the cost of perpetrators. Slaves, indigenous peoples, families sent to internment camps....and more. Perpetrators should be held to account with loss of liberty and loss of wealth.

Soulless people don't deserve our violence. We the people deserve justice. She should be legally stripped of property and wealth to pay damages to those she harmed. She should be sentenced to supervised community service for the rest of her life. Consequences should be restorative.

GOP are loser slackers! Imagine if you only showed up to your job 15 days in 4 months.
They get 175k a year in salary.

I have said many times a dictator doesn't need a legislative body or a judiciary. So Congress gave mango moron the power ...now they are no longer needed. Shame if they think mango will pay them .. they voted for their own demise. The supreme Court will be the same as they try to appear powerful.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

Who didn't see that problem on the Horizon? Stupid people thinking loyalty is rewarded. Laws took place of loyalty tests in democratic nations. We have lost our way.

Mango moron is playing two ideologies against the middle to see who will pay the most money. It could bring real violence to America. Qatar has already been bombed by Israel. Who is our ally? USA give money to Israel, Qatar give money to Mango family. In the end, the tax payer is harmed.

Mike Johnson is so desperate to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance costs hikes that he keeps canceling House business so the GOP can hide.

Let’s keep the pressure on Republicans to stop hiding and end the Trump Shutdown: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Also love the way ppl won’t let ICE eat in restaurants, use their bathrooms, mock them, insist on names & badge numbers, protesters making loud noises outside their hotel rooms, peacefully doing everything possible to make ICE lives miserable.This is how it’s done folks! No violence required.
