I really wish people would stop drastically using the scenarios of rape or incest as the sole premise for an abortion. A woman doesn’t have to be in a traumatic situation for it to be reason enough. In fact there is zero explanation that needs to be given.
This trial isn’t a criminal case deciding Johnny Depp’s innocence or guilt. It’s a defamation case that will rule on whether or not Amber Heard and other victims of abuse are allowed to speak up. And it’s creating a legal playbook for other abusers to silence their victims.
“never quit” sounds great, but sometimes, you gotta quit. be willing to say, “this isn’t what i thought it was,” or “this doesn’t appeal to me anymore.” remember that you can quit “the thing” without quitting on yourself. remember that persistence and fluidity can coexist.
Tamir Rice was 12-years-old when he was killed for holding a toy gun. Kyle Rittenhouse killed 2 people and was found not guilty. A justice system built by white people, to benefit white people, while families who have lost loved ones are given no solace.
Lots of people saying they've no words. You have to find the words. Silence is not an option. We’ve had years of silence. Demand more from yourself, from your community, from this country, from leadership. We need words, and we need action. Every child matters.
The news that hundreds of unmarked graves have been found in Cowessess First Nation is absolutely tragic, but not surprising.
I urge all Canadians to stand with First Nations in this extremely difficult and emotional time. https://t.co/8SHEevtk71
Hi Scott. Criminal defence lawyer here. As of Friday there were 932 adults on remand in #Sask. They haven't been sentenced. In fact they haven't been convicted of anything and are presumed innocent. You know this. Let's be clear when talking to the people of our province. Thanks.
