THREAD. Over many years, we became the national experts in fighting unconstitutional pretrial detention--all the more urgent because authoritarians need detention without process. But something wild just happened in one of our habeas cases: a DA used made up cases and citations.

Not Gonna Lie, folks. I am incredibly dubious in this day and age of any study that states 'you don't reach adulthood until X' considering how the 'full brain at 25' thing has been weaponized by both young and old to avoid responsibility and deny autonomy

It's kind of a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't situation. Yeah, Twitter is a Nazi bar, but Bluesky administration are actively complicit in genocide. No matter which platform we choose, we're implicitly offering support and popularity to some truly reprehensible scum.

Half the breeding population of Elephant Seals on South Georgia lost to H5N1 (bird flu). The impact this will have on the species, the local food web, and even ocean fertilization is hard to comprehend.

There's so many of marginalized folks that been discarded, exploited and yet expected to still carry on. Survive even when the world forgets. Not talk about it even though it absolutely informed current conditions.

We should really stop teaching each other that acting like a colonizer is being "strong" and divesting and listening to Native ppl's is "weak."
Then they self soothe and placate eacither with eugenics intersubjectivity scripts. Like "survival of the fittest", "manifest destiny" etc.

And ppl will follow u for years and know what u been saying but basically say "well I can't affirm what ur saying is true until it's confirmed by a more verifiable source"
Meanwhile the source is grok.
I loathe the way empiricism conditions everyone to default to confirmation bias as a interpersonal compliance. Only being allowed to affirm "proof" when said proof is manufactured by a piece of the problem.

If your idea of liberation doesn't include plenary adoption abolition you're just looking for a glossier genocide.
