We don't talk enough about how any contact at all with the criminal punishment system can destroy your life. The arrest, the court dates, missing work and other associated costs etc... People who aren't proximate to this really have no idea.

i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven
Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!" This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

I wish someone could hear me, but no.. they are not merely trying to “resegregate” the United States. They are trying to destroy the United States and rebuild an authoritarian regime from the rubble, with CEO-dictators in charge. They’re not trying to bring back colored water fountains..

I can’t imagine being so evil that special ed teachers and resources are deemed “government waste”. What the fuck is the government there for? To make bombs?

First you come for the books, then you attack some small groups of people folks don't really understand to test if others will stop you and insight fear, then have some military parades, then...come for more people...

What folks are getting a tough lesson in right now: Institutions are people. They are not abstract forces that exist as firewalls or safeguards. They are just people who play a role and who perhaps have abided by norms, but whose decisions minute to minute shape the role those institutions play.

Stop calling the anti-DEIA executive orders, bans, work stoppages, research stoppages, and whatever else “rollbacks.” The executive orders are Resegregation Orders. These are attempts to return us to segregation.“

I was going to say Dying of Whiteness but I see it’s already been mentioned! Just wanted to add an amen to that! And not just health care, but gun control and other issues— ultimately choosing whiteness over their own health, safety & well being.

Please read and share my recent op-ed in The Hill: Dismissal of Trump’s criminal cases does not prevent future prosecutions in 2029. I explain why these dismissals don’t signal the end of Trump’s accountability. Justice in America is still possible.
Dismissal of Trump’s criminal cases does not prevent future prosecutions in 2029
Both cases involve dismissals “without prejudice,” an important legal distinction.
