Maybe if I was in a banana costume playing the clarinet and white the media would cover it. This matters it might prevent others from being abused if it was covered. As a MST survivor this all has been very difficult to take. The public deserves to know.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

there are unique aspects of this new immigration detention regime, but as someone with an incarcerated sibling, many of the tactics are, sadly, familiar. international humanitarian law, supreme court rulings, federal rules and regulations, basic decency — all are optional in our prison system.
Torture is a feature of life in thousands of US jails and prisons. It’s often blamed on “guards,” but someone had to design this contraption, build it, plan its use, and run it up the chain of command. Judges and lawyers had to create a legal regime where this stuff pervades for decades.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.
