Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

People who know me for 10 minutes have heard me say for DECADES now that there is no way forward that doesn't involve community-building. And some folks have been furious at me for pointing out the necessity of transformative justice. But here we are... both things are still true. THE END.

Something I don’t think gets said a lot is that Restorative and Transformative Justice work is a kind of organizing. It requires an organizer’s spirit and persistence to take hold in a place. It’s extending a constant invitation to join and take part.

If you suffered in life and want other people to suffer as you did because "you turned out fine," you did not in fact turn out fine.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
