I try not to let the hate mail get to me but today's said that I actually prove some Jews really do have horns and a tail like the devil. It was from a Zionist, and said that all "asaJews" (it's a slur-like term they use for nonzionist, anti-Zionist, and pro-Palestine Jews) have them,

Republicans have legislated into a void. Democrats have not created safety for us -- their only "pro-trans" is in opposing the policies the GOP proposes, and now Dem candidates are lining up to say "Keep boys out of girls sports" The enemy of my worst abuser can still be abusive

Saying that a person who did a bad thing is just a bad person is a thought terminating cliché. It's a way for us to pretend that bad acts are aberrations and not predictable, controllable outcomes. And frankly, it's also bioessentialist claptrap.

I'm going to say something ABOUT FlyDubai that will get me canceled but I feel like I have to say it anyway. Yes, it is a monstrous thing to try and hijack an airliner to use as a weapon. The passengers are innocents. Innocents are always killed. It is an atrocity. BUT.

I told someone yesterday that Zionism in the US has essentially boiled down to insisting that it is antisemitic to not be Islamophobic or racist, and tbh that should be a source of immense shame. I will reject that until my last breath.

It would legally be fairly simple for a US state to pass a law prohibiting any transaction which purports to sell or transfer land in the Occupied West Bank and Gaza. There's no constitutional infirmity; states ban certain products and services all the time.

"Federal prosecutors are used to winning cases. ... But in cases where the [DOJ] has attempted to convict protesters for felony assault on federal agents, the math looks very different. The government secured exactly zero felony convictions across 12 cases that went before a jury last year[.]"

The assessment isn't about a one state solution as such but about the unequal one state reality which already exists and its sustainability, Israel's choices are to maintain this unequal state of affairs and eventually lose anyway or cede territory or cede its Jewish character

so either israel ceases its hyper aggressive posture and cedes the occupied territory and becomes an altogether different kind of state or it incorporates all of the subjects of the occupied territory into the citizenry and ceases to be a jewish state

They’ve expressed genocidal intent multiple times,it’s no secret. But, I don’t expect people who can’t bring themselves to call Israel’s actions genocide to call out trans genocide either.

A few years ago, I referred to an opposing party in a discrimination case as a "white supremacist." I got an earful from the judge, who threatened to sanction me if I called them that again. You don't use that term so casually, the judge said. It's uncivil.

Republicans aren't just saying they will kill or institutionalize or forcibly detransition all trans people: they are actively and overtly *campaigning on promising it*. And every day, cis people are saying that trans folks are fearmongering, overreacting, or don't know what genocide is.

We don't use the term "genocide" too much. In fact, based solely on the legal definition, I'd argue we use it far too little. Maybe if we were quicker to label atrocities as genocides, we would have fewer atrocities.

A doctor isn't endorsing a disease when they explain a diagnosis or how to treat it. Neither are we. You can think the system sucks (it does!), but it's the system in place, and if you don't accept that, you're not going to do well.

If I had money for every variation of this conversation with clients or their families, I could retire. Part of a lawyer's job to is to explain how the system works. That is not an endorsement of the system, it's facing reality.

So this morning started with someone calling in a false anonymous tip about me to a local police department. That's a lovely way to start my day. I'm fine, Mercy's fine, we're thankfully fine. The cops investigated, determined it was false, and that was that. But I am...not amused.

I’ll just add to Sheryl‘s important point a mantra that I learned from my lawyer spouse: the law is what the people in power say it is — and in the cases under debate “the people in power” are judges. You/Mamdani/et al can argue what you want; what matters is how judges will rule. See: SCOTUS

This doesn't just apply to the legal system. So many people seem to think that explaining something or even sincerely trying to understand it is that same thing as saying that it is morally acceptable (or even good) as it is. Understanding it is the only way you can effectively combat it!

there is a certain undercurrent of something that can only be described as puritanism on this site, where understanding a bad thing must mean you're into that thing because apparently the only way to battle bad things is to yell loudly they are very bad someone else better fix them but not like this

"is" vs "ought" is an important distinction that gets missed unfortunately often, both ways. A big problem with a lot of liberals I know is they get stuck on "is" and have trouble discussing "ought," and to an extent I think some leftists have the opposite problem in part because they over-correct.

Every time I post something like this, I get backlash. People think this is a defense of the legal system. It's not. I'm an abolitionist ffs! Let me tell you a true story. During Trump 1, when I was in legal aid, I was appointed to represent an activist who was facing a bullshit case.

Explaining how the law and legal system works is not a defense of either. There is a growing sentiment on the left - I see it every day! - that explanations of the legal system (like, for example, why Mamdani can't legally arrest Netanyahu) are making excuses,

One of the absolute coolest things in my life is when Mercy and I are walking somewhere and someone recognizes her and says how cool she is or ask her for an autograph. I don't think people realize how big of a deal she is in the car world, in the trans community, in the train fan world.

Most American Jews still vote Democrat. That’s a problem – opinion
A study finds that a majority of US Jews describe themselves as pro-Israel, yet they are choosing a party that is outright hostile toward the homeland
