How can you defend Iran with stories like this of a woman 5 months pregnant, arrested on suspicion of a civil violation, forced to sleep in shackles on a dungeon floor with cockroaches, denied access to reproductive healthcare, & suffered a stillbirth, which she was forced to deliver in front of prison guards. Horrific.

WAIT. Did I say Iran? I meant this happened in Louisiana this week to Iris Dayana Monterroso-Lemus, whose fiancee is a US citizen and she had no criminal record. #ThisIsAmerica

Aight, fine. Crashing now, after a wee dram of rye, the last half a beer.

Same thing I said yesterday, last week, last month, last year, during Ferguson. same thing I always say.

Stay safe.
Stay strong.
Stay angry.
Stay kind.

I am aware that you are not perfect. I don't care. I know you're trying to become who and how you wish to be, and I know that I believe in who and how you wish to be.

As Wally the dog reminds me every single day, "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I GET ANOTHER CHANCE!"

A note from a human rights lawyer to members of the U.S. Armed Forces: If you are directed to execute illegal orders, remember, declaring “I was just following orders” was not deemed a valid defense during the Nuremberg trials, and it won’t be a valid defense here either.

You have an oath to the U.S. Constitition and due process of law. Honor that—not the illegal orders of a 34X convicted felon.
