Today I wrote @SYSKPodcast a long email about #FreeBritney advocates, including the tireless work of @SurpriseWitnes @LisaMaccarley and @freebritneyla, among others.

Overall, the Conservatorship episode that also discussed #FreeBritney does a thorough job explaining the complex legal system of the Conservatorship in accessible terms.

However, there is one issue that I want to call your attention to: At several points throughout the episode, Josh explains the more problematic aspects of Britney’s Conservatorship arrangement

Kenyan police arrested two young men, 19 and 21, and beat them up.
That takes time. It takes time to crack skulls and break limbs of living beings. And to ignore their cries of pain until the cries fade out.
It was no accident.

Someone needs to explain this joy of the police from cries of young scared men, their blood splattering and bones breaking

What do these officers say when they go home to their families? Do they have children of their own? What for, when they hate children?
And seriously, what exactly does GoK think we will do with those images in our minds?

(1) Republicans don't actually #BackTheBlue, as became obvious on and after 1/6.
The one thing they SHOULD support in response to the police brutality-exposing movement, is the firing and where possible, prosecuting of the "bad cops."
Derek Chauvin being a prime example.

(2) Republicans have encouraged, enabled and (still) condone those who claim Derek Chauvin did nothing wrong, while also claiming insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt did nothing wrong.
This alone exposes their rank hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty.

Instead of Critical Race Theory,
I propose
"Critical HUMANITY Theory"
If these ppl "really" wanted to save the world,
they would want to help ALL people living below the Poverty level.

If Burkean conservatism is a response to the French Revolution, then African conservatism is also a response. It emerges out of, and in response to the shock of both Colonialism and The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade — the largest forced migration in history.

The LARGEST, long-distance, coerced migration in human history — The Atlantic slave trade is the backdrop, for the dissimilar attitudes, values, unique differences, between, Anglo conservatism, and what is referred to as African or "black conservatism".

Epidemiologist Dr Charles Alpren now giving testimony.
Hypothetical of someone leaving for exercise in compliance with all other directions, if that person intents to wear a T-shirt with a political slogan while exercising? There's no scientific reason why that person shouldn't be allowed to leave their home?

@sandibachom So, Miller *undelegated* SecArmy Ryan McCarthy's authority.
McCarthy had a history of misusing the military. He authorized the illegal use of NG helicopters to harass #BlackLivesMatter protesters during the Lafayette Square fiasco.
Multiple officers were disciplined for it.

#BlackLivesMatter 1/ 🧵
The Elizabeth City community has continued to demand justice for #AndrewBrownJr, a father of seven. The local NC District Attorney, R. Andrew Womble, refused to prosecute the officers who fatally shot Brown.
Journalists and the community in Elizabeth City have been asking for the full video footage of the killing of Andrew Brown Jr. from the body cams and dash cam to be released since he was killed in April.
Giving the side-eye to folks who called Naomi Osaka a "coward" because she pulled out of an event for mental health then did the same to Simone Biles but who are applauding Aaron Rodgers for throwing essentially a tantrum for months and having to be begged to come back to work.
And I'm not an Aaron Rodgers hater. Even though he's constantly whipping my team. I think he has some points. But how he's been treated for his attitude to his employer and his "responsibility" to fans is a lot different from what Naomi and Simone went through.
Naomi and Simone basically tried to withdraw gracefully as possible. Don't make a scene. Don't make it about me. Aaron Rodgers has been on several networks and has been as loud as possible and he was unapologetic today. And still he won't be criticized like them.
Looking forward to hearing more about this research project into how #Bristol's transition to Net Zero can also be a socially just one #JustTransitionBristol
First, Dr @alixdietzel introduces the aims of the project, exploring #Bristol Council's "One City Climate Strategy", and how the Council would work with non-state actors (businesses, NGOs, universities, etc) to achieve this #JustTransitionBristol
Next Dr @alice_venn discusses the research methods, with 12 expert interviews over 9 hours creating over 65,368 words of data to go through! This was a mixture of group meetings, public events, workshops, etc. #JustTransitionBristol

Custody hearing at 1pm AST. Curious what new slanderous claims are going to be introduced.
At our last 'meeting' with #SocialDevelopment, we were informed that someone 'worried about my son' claimed I had a firearm in the events of #ForWhatItsWorth.

Only firearm that was involved the evening of March 10th belonged to young Mister #FANCYPANTS of #FPF. They really didn't like my flashlight; the most dangerous thing I'd presented that fateful eve was my white ass-dance moves; even did a Statutory Declaration for the fools. 🤣🤘
Last night could've gone very differently for me, as a man with #ASD. The last time the cops were threatened be me, they threatened to end me and couldn't quote Law, those are common trends when dealing with scared/timid wittle predator chads, FYI.
As a person who had Covid 19 Delta version I do find this very disappointing to see you are on this list.
@RobertKennedyJr
. My kid and I both had it. The shots helped to reduce my symptoms thank heavens but Covid 19 is real. I lost sense of smell and taste like my kid.

I cooked a trout and I could not smell it even though my nose and breathing were clear. I could only smell coffee. My kid had the fever and coughing. I had a post nasel drip and allergy like symptoms much milder with the two shots. My kid had one shot. We both had the delta one.
It upsets me to see people speaking on diseases they've never had. I had it. It delayed my husband's heart surgery. We were all in quarantine. My husband and other kid stayed fine because we isolated in the house eating and sleeping in different rooms. It helped protect him.

Canada and US were both bound to British Empire policies when the 13 Colonies formed. I know Act of Settlement censored the history of both lands and Westminster has the power to change it by vote. theglobeandmail.com/news/national/…
How much does British Colonial power shape Indigenous and America. Policy and economics today?! The Queen said the deportation of Acadians was illegal. It involved Jeffrey Amherst who killed from Acadia to Standing Rock. kingsolomonlodge54.com/history/freema…

Daar tegenover plaatst hij een “rechtse” #exclusieve identiteitspolitiek, die gelijkheid zou afwijzen en de eigen “boreale” cultuur zou verheerlijken. 2/3
Great thread from @BootsRiley (from @TheCoup & @Sorry2BotherYou) on #Cuba.

The impact of the 60-year-old ongoing embargo, blockade and economic sanctions against the Cuban people by the US government can not be overstated.
Throughout the global health pandemic, the blockade has restricted medical supplies to #Cuba, and more.

The most important public religion story in the US right now may be the realignment of white Christians around values of justice, love of neighbor & the common good. A short thread on the #RevolutionOfValues that often doesn’t make headlines…
Folks who’ve been driven to extremism by the propaganda of the religious right get a lot of attention. Patriot churches. Capitol rioters w/ Jesus flags. White #ChristianNationalism is dangerous & deserves attention, but its extremism is the desperation of a shrinking minority.
As @robertpjones has noted, @PRRIpoll’s latest data shows that white evangelicals as a percentage of US population have shrunk from roughly a quarter of Americans to less than a 7th. Why?

Funny how it took @TheVeganSociety SEVEN MONTHS to release a statement exonerating us from malicious allegations made by those with familial, personal, and professional connection to trustees, but less than 24 hours to make such a snide statement.
Also funny how complainants with familial, personal, and professional connection to trustees seem to be the first to know about this statement from @TheVeganSociety.
