I never do this on here but I am furious with @Uber. I ordered a car for a trans friend because her phone was dead. The driver kicked her out because she’s trans and then spun a sexual harassment story to cover himself. I am now banned for life.

Everyone wants to come to the Caribbean for vacation but who is there to help when hurricanes destroy the islands?!

I need y’all to act like you love the Caribbean for real and SHARE, DONATE, offer your time, support, expertise in whatever ways you can.

A full time employee + student, I was arrested for felony drug possession. Sent to jail from drug court for continued use, I lost my job + withdrew from classes.

I was homeless (+ hopeless) within months.

My experience and the science support decrim.

“Plantation disaster capitalism is unfortunately the perfect term for what's going on.”

Law professor Kapuaʻala Sproat explains how large landed interests “are using this time of tremendous trauma for the people of Maui to swoop in and to get past the law.”

Oregon’s overdose rate is lower than dozens of states, all of which have more punitive drug policy.

Every friend I lost to a heroin overdose was incarcerated repeatedly first. Drug decrim stops the harm of arrest. Healing is the real challenge.

exercise your right to remain silent. But do that AFTER saying you want an attorney.

I always think I don't have to say these things, and then I take a call where someone did a lawyerless interview with the feds for four hours.

[fooler initiative @metroadlib]

Friends-

If someone in law enforcement is attempting to interrogate you, and tells you you have the right to an attorney....exercise that right.

If someone in law enforcement is attempting to interrogate you and DOESN'T tell you you have the right to an attorney-

In the strongest possible terms, New Disabled South condemns today’s Supreme Court decision to strike down affirmative action in college admissions at the University of North Carolina and Harvard University.

[elle is trying so hard @scretladyspider]

once again really, really begging YouTubers and podcasters who are considering sponsorships with Better Help to look up the horror stories people — both therapists and clients — have from trusting that company and look at how they sell patient data

Better help is bad news

[ACLU of Maryland @ACLU_MD]

Last week, we held a virtual press conference with local partners where plaintiffs in the case shared their personal experiences with Federalsburg's discriminatory election system, showcasing exactly why representation matters. #MDpolitics

[ACLU of Maryland @ACLU_MD]

In its 200-year history, the town of Federalsburg, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, has never elected a Black official. For centuries, the Town has maintained an all-white government, something Black residents are determined to change with a recent federal lawsuit. #VotingRights

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Republicans will force a 10 year old to carry her rapist’s baby to term, let a 6 year old carry a gun, permit a 12 year old to work an 8 hour shift in a meat packing plant and allow a grown man to marry a 14 year old with a Judge’s consent, all while telling us that the reason they’re banning drag queens, gender affirming care and books about Rosa Parks is because they want to ‘protect our kids.’

Bullshit.

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

In the US, we were in the summer of 2020 (and also in the fall of 2014 and spring of 2015), but the police gassed and beat the shit out everyone in more than 100 cities. Just went hog wild. Breaking bones. Beating skulls. Killing people. Gassing major cities!!!!
