@prisonculture can continue to be self-serving and ignore systemic oppression out here. And obviously we won’t need the growing campaign to close prisons in CA anymore because we can just “transform” them like this. 🥲

Next week, we will likely have a ban on #KillerRobots the books, but that policy is at risk of being overturned.

Oh no, the fight's not over. The supervisors can still reverse their vote.

During the #SCOTUS oral argument in #Brackeen several Justices seemed to think #ICWA takes Native children from foster parents they attached to & that’s bad.

@alexluckier @SNeurotypicals Oh this is such a good point, thanks!! I should do this with my partner, who has the advantage of living with me and observing my brain…

[Christine Wei @cweisays]

@RiotRacoonicorn @alexluckier @SNeurotypicals Thanks! I was thinking of asking my therapist to help decipher some too…

[Christine Wei @cweisays]

@alexluckier @SNeurotypicals So, um, how did everyone go about actually answering the questions eventually? Asking as someone who has a bunch of screening forms to fill out and struggling (as in, have not been able to figure out how to answer) 🥲

YES YES YES!! Phone justice is coming to CA!
