Great 🧵 here about learning to read contracts yourself:
One of the things I hear a lot is "contracts mean different things than the language in them says and that's why you need a lawyer"
This is generally not true.

Everyone always wants to know “Who is the American gestapo?” but no one ever stops to ask “How is the American gestapo?”
Just thinking... we give so much attention (as we should!) to the victims of state violence, ie, people sent to CECOT.
But, we give little consideration to the psychic violence suffered by those tasked with carrying out the physical violence.
Yes, they "chose" those jobs. But...

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Omg. “”The first question is like, ‘What is this?’ And they show a lion, a giraffe, a fish, and a hippopotamus. And they say, ‘Which is the giraffe?’” he recalled.”

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

We had Angela Davis speak at my university a couple of years back. One of the many insightful things she said - protest in the way that aligns with your passion. If that’s poetry do poetry or music etc. Because then you will be able to sustain it. If naked bike rides are your passion, 100% do that.
Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?
Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

There is a direct line between Democratic politicians and “liberal” media saying that anti-trans activists and Republicans “have a point” to this kind of stuff.
The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.
Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote.
