At this point it could be proven that Ford's allegations are untrue and I'd still consider Kavanaugh unfit for SCOTUS with all his mendacity and misrepresenting himself under oath. This is a long read but a good one. https://t.co/s2ZmSQ1M42

Today I learned an appalling thing.

Every time I email with someone who is incarcerated and I have to pay for an "electronic stamp" for an email, I'm even more appalled at how corrupt the criminal justice system is and how it's all about money.

‘Virtue signalling’ is a cowardly term used by people who secretly worry that their beliefs and actions are unethical and don’t want you to make them feel bad by behaving differently. Don’t fall for it. Nobody should feel ashamed of trying to do good in the world.

[🎒Shailja #FreePalestine Patel @shailjapatel]

"We all have the same 24 hours" is capitalism's toxic tool for:

~ shaming the 99% for not being the 1%;
~ erasing the support labour that makes celebrity lives possible, and the people who perform that labour;
~ shutting down questions about privilege, capital, and safety nets.

Picard ethics tip: The fact that a conflict has many sides does not imply that every side has merit.

"Person uses inherited access to large amounts of capital to generate even larger amounts of capital".

Wow, such an inspiration, @Forbes. 🙄

In my latest for @Playboy, I note that children separated from their parents at the border may end up de facto trafficked via mostly religious adoption agencies.

White supremacist theocracy is here.

Friendly reminder: In terms of value stolen, the two largest forms of theft are wage theft and civil forfeiture. Wage theft alone accounts for more value stolen than all other forms of theft combined. The two most likely people to steal from you are your boss and the cops.

How John Kelly responded when NPR asked if it was "cruel and heartless" to take a mother away from her children: "I wouldn't put it quite that way. The children will be taken care of — put into foster care or whatever." https://t.co/YKpcqn27sh

YO #OAKLAND! Since I began at @arstechnica, I’ve gotten a crash course in surveillance law and police tech. The last 6 years of my reporting is now distilled into my new book: HABEAS DATA.

You are ALL invited to the launch party at @LaurelBookStore, TOMORROW (5/8) at 7PM.
