I am going to keep screaming this for as long as I need to. The Republicans are building the infrastructure for the largest authoritarian crackdown in world history, and they are targeting the most at risk first. Civil rights is dead and has been replaced again with patriarchal white power.

It’s not appropriate to treat Gazans understandably desperate for help the same as bots and criminals circulating scams, which is why adding my name here was a no-brainer. Moderation shouldn’t be this lazy.

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

I visited the public defender office in Jackson in February. Horrifying as this case is, it isn't unusual. PDs say prosecutors routinely withhold discovery, dragging out meritless cases for months or years. When judges finally force their hand, they drop the charges, sometimes the day of trial.
