Transformative mediation and (clumsy attempts to practice) principled nonviolence keep me from despair. Also, this: "The oppression of children is the wheel that keeps all other oppressions turning." —Aurora Levins Morales

"possible" Dear @nytimes.com, You may think that qualifying facts-we-all-can-see-in-front-of-our-eyes with a "some experts say" or "possible" is how one practices objective journalism. It isn't. Objective journalism is stating the truth when it is true. What you are practicing is cowardice.

Tennessee plans to execute a woman tomorrow. She was 18 when she committed the crime. She's now 50. Like most on death row, she's also a victim. And like most on death row, she's a far different person now than she was then. No one humanizes the condemned better than @lilianasegura.bsky.social.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

The Democratic Party’s centrist consultant machine needs to be completely rejected and dismantled if this country is ever going to embrace the future and put this fascist nightmare behind us. The time for half measures is long past.

"The Reimagining Safety Act would go further by dismantling and rebuilding the Department of Homeland Security as a federal public safety agency. ICE and Customs and Border Protection would be abolished and replaced with customs offices to limit government surveillance and militarized enforcement."

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Families of ICE victims tell panel that falsehoods, obstruction amount to ‘dual assassinations’
Highlighting the growing list of people killed by federal immigration agents, U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree and other Democratic members of Congress on Tuesday heard from family members of those killed about the Trump administration’s pattern of obstruction and lies about the shootings and victims themselves.The shadow hearing, which was held in Washington, D.C., underscored that despite new leadership at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, little has changed.

While some developmental psych researchers do look at factors that affect children's moral development or psychological health, I'm struck by how many parenting studies, just like popular parenting books, take for granted that the desired outcome is compliance -i.e., kids doing whatever they're told

Shared those articles that show how people are fighting locally and federally in support of trans people because social media flattens and also makes it seem like folks aren't actually actively pushing back when in fact people (led by trans people themselves) are in motion everywhere.

This isn't a complicated concept to understand. Bryce Harper has taken a very public stance against racism. Flaco Lopez has made public statements against racism too. They've both been attacked by their own fans for it. They both don't care. Because their principles are more important. ♥️👍🏿

"meeting people where they are" means you have to accept that they sincerely believe what they believe. It does NOT mean that you have to pretend to agree with their beliefs. In fact, you must be honest when you don't. Grown ups have to deal with people who don't agree with them all of the time.

People keep acting like the fascists care about "crime." THEY DO NOT. They care about domination & fear. They will fearmonger re: "crimes" committed by out groups while cheering on the "crimes" committed by "their people" Meanwhile liberals keep bleating on about hypocrisy when hierarchy matters.

Gentle/conscious/nonviolent parenting is NOT permissive parenting! It’s not “we never say No!” The abolition of punishment/prison is consistently impeded by the gross distortions of parenting practices that, in reality, ask us to respect the dignity of children — and the people who raise them!!!
