    So, please join me, my sister & our brother Dan, and throw in a (tax-deductible) donation to the Future Generations for Justice Scholarship. ALL of the funds will go to endowing a permanent award for student dedicated to justice.

    Oh BTW, the reason we're establishing a scholarship isn't just because Emily went there for undergrad and law school... Her MOM was a math prof there. She took the job when my step-grandad got blacklisted in the 50s. So there's a long prehistory of justice & feminism.

    The craziest thing is, Emily's kindness, her empathy, her sense of social justice, are completely devoid of ego. She won't tell people about this stuff (which is why my siblings and I started this scholarship in her name). She legitimately just wants the world to be better.

    ...so she took a test to see if she was a viable donor, and it turned out she was, and she gave the dude her fucking kidney. He's still alive today, more than 20 years later. Because of her.

    ...oh yeah, and while I'm recounting random acts of kindness, did I mention that Emily GAVE A KIDNEY TO A TOTAL STRANGER? She saw a guy in a parking lot, crying, and walked up to see what was wrong. Turns out his son was going to die because he couldn't find a matching donor...

    ...it turned out the guy had been stabbed. He was bleeding out, right there on the subway steps. Emily called and ambulance, and made sure he was taken care of, made sure the police heard his story. He probably survived because of her...

    I remember being about 10 or 11 yrs old in Brooklyn, walking with Emily up the stairs of the High St. subway stop. There was a guy seated on the stairs, hunched over, holding his belly. Emily wanted to stop & talk w him. I was mortified & scared, and urged her to keep walking...

    But it's not just about politics, or professional accomplishments, or even personality. There's a deeper, underlying decency and kindness that informs all of that...

    ...partly because in a county swirling with corruption scandals and vicious political infighting, she managed to stay above the fray as a paragon of ethics and integrity... ...but also because she's so goddamned nice and fun to be around that everyone loves her.

    She used the power of the bench to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable, making a point, for instance, of minimum statutory sentencing for low-level drug cases. Yet despite her outspoken liberal views, the Suffolk GOP loved her...

    Lemme tell you a bit about my stepmom & why the scholarship in her name is so fitting. As a liberal NYS Supreme Court justice in the Republican stronghold of Suffolk County for 14 years, she remained a vocal and strident advocate of racial justice, feminism, ethics & kindness.

    My wonderful stepmother, Emily Pines, has retired from a career of public service in the law. To celebrate her career my brothers and I set up a scholarship fund for undergrads committed to law + social justice. Sharing in case you want to share!

    This is the pathetic little truth hiding like a splinter right beneath the bruised skin of American society. All this sturm und drang, lost and ruined lives, wasted money and resources, all the corruption and lies... for what? To preserve a vestigial perk of industrial slavery.

    I wish we could just talk about how so many white folks are simply terrified right now because they can’t imagine being a minority (or living in a minority-led country) and not being treated the way white folks in power have treated everyone else.
