Great thread.

“There are two strands to civil resistance. One is disruption and the next is dialogue. ...[p]ublic disruption is necessary to spark the conversations that result in political pressure."

Typical, namby-pamby, horserace framing from the @nytimes; this is *not* a 'Dems say, but Rs counter' issue. This is a weapon that kills indiscriminately (violating core principle of laws of war). It has been outlawed by the international community for a reason.

This should have been a slam dunk, 9-0 decision. Be worried.

As we visited Heimsheim Prison, thanks to the Connecticut/Baden-Württemberg Human Rights Consortium, we saw practices very different from the norm in US prisons — people wearing their own clothes and conversing with guards, all in apparent conformity with human rights standards.

When your focus is on restoration, prison can start to take on different forms. Below is Seehaus e.V, an “open-prison” for systems-involved youth in Germany centered on restorative justice and skill building we toured with @IMRP — without walls, without guards, without cruelty.

What do you call it when a corrupt, unelected body vastly expands its power at the expense of legitimate, democratic institutions?

Asking for a friend.

[University Network for Human Rights @unitedforrights]

Rights for people deprived of liberty are human rights.

We are extremely honored to join @IMRP, @FullCitizensC, @TowYouth, along with CT State Sentencing Commission decision-makers on an International Justice Exchange to bring lessons from Germany back to Connecticut.

Rest in power. I had the privilege of moderating a panel that he headlined. In Q&A, he took a round of questions--six, multi-part, thoughtful Qs at once. He took no notes at all, but then gave each person a thoughtful, just, and detailed response. A brilliant, ethical giant.

Imagine living in a country with a government that cares about its people, rather than devising new ways to shovel more resources to corporations. Insane, right?

[James (Jim) Cavallaro @JimCavallaro]

Multiply that incident by 70-odd years, and that's basically his entire lifetime/legacy.
