                    The abortion and anti-transgender cases are my highest priority, but two other cases at SCOTUS concern me: Shurtleff v. Boston is part of their plan for a theocracy, and Carson v. Makin is their plan for taxpayers to pay for religious education....

                        Two phrases from two different mentors are stuck ringing in my head: "Enjoying the shade from trees I didn't plant" and "Each of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done." Just by awareness of those two thoughts, you can see the world through...

                          Cause and Effect? Common causes of violence in communities: exposure to violence, shame, isolation, and inability to meet economic needs. Incarceration doesn't help people in any of those areas. In fact, it exacerbates all four of those issues!...

                            Prosecutors hold so much power, and so they are key to fixing racial disparities. I'm so grateful for Professor Angela J Davis, Wesley Caines, and Akhi Johnson for their excellent presentations on Race + Prosecution. ⚖️...

                              The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) has produced an excellent pocket-sized Know Your Rights guide in multiple languages for those who encounter law enforcement (especially FBI and Department of Homeland Security).

                                BeauFTC always spouts wisdom, but if you watch nothing else he has posted, this 11 minutes using a spear analogy lays bare the problem with the progressive movements and describes how EVERYONE plays a role. We have to recalibrate our thinking if we...

                                  Gary Wright II bookmarked Section 1033 Inventory of Military Surplus Transferred to Police
                                  Under Section 1033, over 8,000 police agencies received a total of $7.4 billion in surplus military equipment. They aren't properly trained to use it and it doesn't need to be in their hands, so we need to take back every bit of it! ⚖️

                                    One of the best resources I've found to help discover gerrymandering during redistricting (every 10 years after the census) is Dave's Redistricting. It allows you to overlay data with the current maps, as well as create and share your own proposed...

                                      We not only must unrig the courts for the sake of women's health care, but these dangerous courts will dismantle the rest of our democracy. We are out of time because redistricting has already started! We must immediately expand the US Supreme...
