Lawyer. Not your lawyer. Mother. Not your mother. By day (and frankly nights and weekends), a civil rights lawyer for people who are incarcerated. Other times, just exhausted. Washington DC based.

A thing that gets driven home to be every day representing prisoners:

Some really good people can do extraordinarily horrible things. Some people who have committed many awful crimes can do extraordinarily good things.

Humans are complex creatures, and we never fully know each other

"Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact. The way our dairy was built is ideal for pasteurized dairy products," he says.

Yes, first it's just generally fantastic.

Second, it's not a spoiler, but I can tell you that they meet by hookup and it's very sweet in the last season, after several years of marriage and a couple kids, it's revealed that the male lead still has his wife in his phone as "Sharon London Sex"

I like the one that tells me who posted more than 50 or 100 times in the past day. It's a useful metric.

Yeah, some of the lists got overly broad. Or at least beyond what I assumed they would be when I subscribed.

It's a tough balance, bc they are useful in general, but I don't need social media to me work, you know?

I run every single thing with citations through Lexis citation and quote checker.

Got blocked by the guy who tried to attach me because by explaining the basic tenant of nonviolence tactics I was being a typical white liberal trying to get Black and Brown people killed.

Ah, Bluesky.

What is your praxis?

And I still think you missed the whole point. The criticism was of people thinking nonviolence means there will be no violence. Nonviolence as a practice is the opposite of that.

31.01.2026 13:52 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

My praxis, nonviolent civil disobedience, is to oppose fascism by putting my body on the line and accepting the violence that comes. To be in the battle.

Are you suggesting that simply being horrified behind your keyboard is enough?

Can you read? The entire discussion is about the goals of nonviolent protest. Pointing out that nonviolence, as a method used by Ghandi and King, does not mean there will not be violence.

31.01.2026 12:20 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The point of civil disobedience and nonviolence isn't to avoid violence, including carceral violence.

It is to provide a clear demonstration of the difference between your moral cause and the violent repression of the immoral state.

FFS - Call YOUR OWN GD reps to bully them into moving Jeffries if they are Dems. They elect him leader. They can elect someone else IF their own constituents are unhappy with him. This is how it works. Screaming Primary Jeffries from LA is not going to do anything.
