"Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love." ― Julian Assange
It is with the most profound sadness that I announce the passing away of my husband, @DavidMirandaRio. He would have turned 38 tomorrow.
His death, early this morning, came after a 9-month battle in ICU. He died in full peace, surrounded by our children and family and friends.
He killed a man by choking him on the NYC subway and was freed on $100,000 bond. I was given an $800,000 bond and locked up for misdemeanor contempt after helping Amazon communities win a pollution case against Chevron.
And they call it the justice system.
"Authentic love is to understand both strengths and weaknesses, of yourself & others, & accept them all. It is a dynamic dance of give and take without conditions, of letting go into uncertainty and vulnerability, & being willing to help that person..."

"Julian Assange and Edward Snowden are heroes. The thing they are being persecuted for is the truth. And what they've done is they've exposed that imperialist war machine for the war-crime-generating thing that it is." — @tmorello#FreeAssangeNOW#DropTheCharges
@charlie_simpson Staffing has been our biggest unknown. But supply network is a maze depending on item. Comprise to get job done. Or be patience. The process is very broken in Vermont by nature of location and distant regional distribution centers. We got wood, milk, and maple syrup.
Do you remember the "institutional" and social media corpo response in the first half of 2020 when someone contradicted the consensus? They were punished for the "crime" of "disinformation."
Corporations must never again be permitted to police speech.
