After very little sleep, I had to write a poem. theubuntujourney.substack.com/p/kitten-les...

The Ubuntu Journey @amberhawk.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Justice As Ground We’ve learned to problem solve by asking “what should I have done differently?” The question we need to ask instead is “what systemic forces are at work, and what would it take to change them?” open.substack.com/pub/theubunt...

Quote saying Inclusion locates the work inside the person — adapt, adjust, prove yourself. Justice locates the work inside the organization — examine your assumptions, interrogate your standards, ask whose needs were centered when you built this and whether that should change.

You all realize by repeating his dreadful post about Rob Reiner, even though you are posting your visceral reaction to that man’s toxicity, you are doing exactly what he wants, making sure everyone hears what he said? He wants the attention. You are amplifying him. Stop it.

Aaaaaabsolutely NOT. For exactly *what* reason do we need a registry of autistic Americans? www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

Screenshot of the linked article, including the quote “The NIH is also now in talks with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to broaden agreements governing access to their data. In addition, a new disease registry is being launched to track Americans with autism, which will be integrated into the data.”

Don’t publish headlines like this. Yes there has been a focus on expanding women’s careers into STEM, but no focus on expanding career choices men make. Great point. But while DEI is being erased, please don’t use words that make our most privileged population seem underprivileged. @bloomberg.com

When we talk about evil people, and treating them as less than human, it isn't their humanity we are discussing. It is our own. It is never okay to be cruel. When the current administration tries to justify its cruelty, they are demonstrating their own lack of humanity.

It is appalling and terrifying to see our government deprive any person of their human rights. As a veteran who swore to support and defend the constitution, and believed I was making the world safer, I feel utterly betrayed.

He continues to argue that Kilmer deserves to be kidnapped and placed in inhumane conditions. This fight is not about Kilmar. It is about all of us. No person should endure this. We must keep fighting for human rights and due process, for all people.

We should be talking about WHY he is calling humans "resources" and dehumanizing and devaluing even one single human. He's using autism to launch a eugenics crusade. I know you see this for what it is. Please use your voice to direct attention to how he is attacking - this is purposeful.

The Ubuntu Journey @amberhawk.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

It’s not ignorance. It’s purposeful and strategic, intended to distract and fragment us, as this administration grabs power. It isn’t about autism. It is eugenics. It isn’t about the worth of an autistic child. It is about the worth of any human that doesn’t fit their picture of perfect.

The Ubuntu Journey @amberhawk.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

This is the wrong conversation. It isn't about arguing with him about the worth of children he calls "resources." It's about calling humans "resources" and dehumanizing and devaluing even one single human. He's using autism to launch a eugenics crusade. Pls do everything in your power to stop him.

I think we all need to take a moment and admire this ball of fluff in my maple tree today

The next steps are clear. We must ask ourselves — what is even one more tangible thing we can be doing? This will take work, grit, and determination—but this is how change happens. Don't let your inability to do everything undermine your determination to do something in the cause of our country.

Let’s talk about the background of that photo. Kristi is just doing the dirty work for her boss. This is photographic evidence that the US government is committing humanitarian crimes. Without due process, in a cell with 50+ people. Crowding is abuse, and likely not the only form occurring here.

The Ubuntu Journey @amberhawk.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

The video and this picture depict physical and psychological abuse. No one should ever be placed in this sort of crowded situation for any length of time that is measured in days.

This picture is from a video @apnews.com posted on YouTube tonight. This is a concentration camp. Contracted and paid for by the government of the United States of America.

A large prison cell containing three rows of bunks, four levels high, each with between five and ten men sitting on them. Two people are standing in front of the bars looking in, a man in full police armor and a woman in a uniform.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

Scandal: “causing general public outrage by a perceived offense against morality or law.” Okay, but the Signal Scandal is not a ‘perceived’ offense, can we agree on that? They broke the law. Egregiously. It is not possible to be sufficiently outraged by this blatant disregard for national security.

Not sure how so many people are missing this, but platforms cleared for classified discussions such as war planning don’t actually allow you to accidentally invite someone without a clearance. This isn’t just one person’s fault. This Is an inexcusable breach of national security by all of them.
