a (white) celeb court watching in pg county (one of the blackest parts of the US) making sure folks getting arrested for nonsense like simple possession or loitering get a fair shot at beating their rap is some of the most high profile anti-racist praxis i’ve seen recently.
Fiona Apple has a story for you. And it’s incredible. Asked me to share. She's become an avid, trained Court Watcher. Her observations helped people jailed pretrial file a civil rights lawsuit. Then came the retaliation. Shut off her access to court. A video story in 8 parts:

honestly one of the funniest things i have ever watched in my life i recite it to myself in my head regularly.
what are posts that aren’t load-bearing anywhere but your personal lexicon. like the ones that weren’t really popular but are so enshrined in your mind that you just assume they got hundreds of thousands of likes.

you are not prepared for what this guy’s voice sounds like.
Grey Anderson, whose new piece "NATO Isn’t What It Says It Is" was published this week in @nytimes, talks about the history and future functions of the alliance.

@JustaCoinToss @AShihipar @mayo4u in this kind of world, social workers would do the work instead and would have the funding— hell, even half the funding— police get.

@halaljew the funniest part of those screengrabs was “take taxis instead” oh yeah sure chief won’t run into any arab drivers there.

literally anyone who says being a line cook isn’t “skilled labor” would fail pathetically, burning and cutting themselves constantly in their first week or month of lunch/dinner rushes. i’ve done it too. don’t ever tell me it’s not skilled/difficult labor or real work.
@pderevere Line cook isn't exactly skilled labor bub. Because any random person can cook so it's not covid wiping out people. It's people just not wanting those jobs even though they're available.

@fecologist @ndrew_lawrence god you’re right can you imagine what a small federal excise tax on nationwide cannabis sales would do for the budget lol (a lot of which goes to the DoD, which is bad).

if you want a whole podcast of a low-key white woman celeb court watching i recommend @serial s3 where sarah koenig sits in cleveland area courts day in day out, gives you the low down on “furitive movements” the bs racist dog whistle police use to justify arrests.

@ChloeFourte yes she’s been court watching in pg county for two years. getting defendants their meds. this is one the best ways to do what you can as an individual to fight the systemic racism of courts. i’ve been to courtwatching trainings before and worked with public defenders i know.

@StudentsforLife if a womb had a window no one would ever want to get pregnant in the first place.
Fun fact of the day: the reason why pregnant people get ultrasounds and not MRIs, is that in an MRI, this is what a fetus looks like.

My heart cries for the land. Possible largest oil spill in Wisconsin history is ongoing. 69k+ gallons so far. Enbridge Line 6 Pipeline. Get pipelines off Indigenous lands.

@TSwifts1stBoyfr @_Zeets saying “just say you don’t think that black lives matter and move on” to a black person dismissively, with a white person avi, like this is either meant to be very bold (bad) or very funny and i can’t decide which. poes law really kicking my butt on this one.
