THREAD. A little good news about the importance of civil rights lawyers, especially in times of rising authoritarianism.
THIS. This is the energy!!!!
"The left is losing because it is too left" motherfuckers, y'all been crawling to the right on your hands and knees for decades and all it got you is rug burns.
Thrilled to hear she has passed such a significant step on the road to freedom. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I don’t have an opinion on this action but I do know that terminally online people who critique a given action w/o proposing some kind of alternative of where people should focus their energy do more harm than good. It’s cynical and dispiriting and it encourages people new to activism to disengage.
Prisoners were released wearing clothing printed with a biblical passage that calls for Palestinians to be “destroyed,” in what is a clear incitement of genocide, Euro-Med Monitor said.
My latest: "The more often we have experienced true helplessness, the more likely we are to feel powerless in situations where action is possible. And the more we freeze or flail in response to threats, the more deeply ingrained those responses become."
