Missing The PointSpare a thought for Harlan Crow, who must have been pretty upset to learn how cheaply Justices Gorsuch and Alito went for.
The first step in my journey was learning that you cannot defeat fascism with the power of love.

Vagina Museum"Cis" was first used in the English language in 1994, when student Dana Defosse proposed its use in a Usenet group around trans topics. She argued that without an antonym to "trans", language implied trans people as Other. The adjective "cis" helped position cis as not the "norm".
Qasim Rashid, Esq.I remember when applying for my law license, having to disclose toll violations & parking tickets from a decade prior amounting to less than $100.
Absurd that a sitting SCOTUS justice claims a $150K vacation didn’t require disclosure or recusal.
Where is the accountability?

HeavenlyPossumThe United Kingdom is crisscrossed with public footpaths where the public holds a legal right to traverse.
Many of these paths are centuries old. Many of them are probably even older, dating back thousands of years to the Neolithic or older.
They predate virtually every extant property claim that could be leveraged against them. They have belonged in common to the community that uses them since before there was a British state.
And yet, the British state is in the process of handing over thousands of miles of public footpaths to private owners because these paths—older than the state—have not been registered with the state. In James Scott’s terms, they are not *legible* to the state.
But carefully surveyed, delineated, discrete parcels of private property linked to individual owners—the state’s favorite—are legible to the state. So over they go.
Enclosure never really stopped.
Judd Legum4. But now Jeff Asher (@[email protected]) has published data revealing the plunge in the murder rate in dozens of cities
Asher calls this drop "astonishing"
But other than a piece Asher wrote for The Atlantic, the data has not merited any dedicated coverage in major outlets
myrmepropagandistI don’t have every answer. (And I certainly can’t force any democrat to do anything.) The one thing that has worked is building local networks. If there are homeless people in your area get to know them, work with your neighbors to help them with food, (or in my case using my mailbox) find out who the worst cop at the nearest precinct is and help file complaints. Show up at school board meetings and co-op board meetings— talk to who isn’t being talked to amplifying what they say.
@Pythia @futurebird we have to start building alternative frameworks. Mutual aid groups are a good place to start and connect with other people who are interested in things being different and willing to put their time, energy, and money into it.
@Mark545451 @futurebird find your local revolutionary socialists and help build it!
@futurebird I feel like this is similar to class reductionism, lots of white leftists are trying to distill their beliefs down to something simple and catchy you can spread easily online but this also misses a LOT of important information that you usually don't have a chance to expand on because you're just firing catch phrases off onto the internet.
