Nonviolent disobedience in the face of human rights violations IS civility. Anything less is uncivil.

Good morning. Last night, by a vote of 6-1, Sharon Hill Borough passed "police department policies" that they're keeping completely secret. By definition of this vote, the public now has no idea what policies govern the Sharon Hill Police Department.

For many trans people, getting gender affirming surgery can be literally life saving. But a complicated and quickly expanding system can sometimes leave patients feeling left behind when they feel a surgeon fails them.

While it's a good idea given our circumstances, the Amber-alert like Active Shooter Alert Act is such a dystopian response to uncontrollable gun violence against children and impotent (despite overfunding) police department responses.

So the solutions are twofold:
1) honor past treaties and return lands to their rightful owners.
2) don't hold institutions in positions of absolute power against morality. There is historical precedent for the governmental disregarding of SCOTUS decisions with impunity. /6

But why do we believe in the righteousness of these institutions?
Have the current incarnations met our expectations of appointment?
Do we really believe we should be following rulings on our rights from likely sexual predators?
Looking back, were past courts also problematic? /5

Many of us have been propagandized from our youth, in which this relative calm in SCOTUS has occurred, about the sanctity of courts. But we need to lead with our minds, not our socialization, and be critical about whether we believe in the sanctity of our gov't institutions. /4

We have been recently placated by a relatively moderate SCOTUS, but historically extreme aconstitutional decisions were not uncommon (e.g. Korematsu v. United States). We aren't obligated to put partisan appointees over the constitution or, more importantly, morality. /3

Conservatives and US colonialists have repeatedly throughout history disobeyed SCOTUS decisions related to Native American sovereignty. The court doesn't hold absolute power. Much of this land doesn't absolutely belong to the court per it's own rulings. /1

Ridiculous to believe a woman instituted a multiyear long-con that involves beating themselves up, having uninvolved 3rd parties call the authorities & filing PFAs, rather than believe someone they like could be abusive at home. #AmberHeard #MackenzieFierceton #victimblaming

4/ Close the “boyfriend loophole”, so that no domestic abuser - a spouse OR a serious dating partner - can buy a gun if they are convicted of abuse against their partner.

I've been thinking a lot about this story from Penn, power academic institutions wield over their students/trainees, requirement of immediate reporting & the expectation that even child victims of abuse be perfect witnesses, crime scenes & people, lest they be cast as liars.

It’s a funny thing about the truth. No matter how hard powerful institutions and people try to manipulate it, it stays the same. Truth is something that cannot be changed. A thread. #MackenzieFierceton newyorker.com/magazine/2022/

These types of movements would have a harder time gaining traction if there were less nuggets of truth in the conspiracy theories. Calling out machinations of the global elite, holding sexual predators in positions of power and their enablers to account would be a good start.

If she or someone like her had been able to report on the Epstein story back in 2007, public opinion likely would've been different and dozens of children wouldn't have been raped. Having survivors report on sexual abuse is the best way to remove bias against the sea of misogyny.

For those who haven't spent much time thinking about how we report gender based abuse, I highly recommend listening to Broken podcast about Epstein. was able to tell a story nobody else had because she understood the psychology of survivors. stitcher.com/show/broken-je

These biases are part of why it would've been so important to have cover sexual harassment and abuse. Everybody has bias, but having lived those experiences means those biases are more likely to be shaped by reality than prejudice.

I have the priviledge of tweeting this because I'm not currently running for office. It is important we all take a look at our own biases as how we view others' frustrations, especially reporters. Journalists, even when trying to be objective, shape the narrative of our democracy

If wanted to make amends, he'd speak out against the firing of , or at least supporting that she was right on a lot of fronts. The 's ban on her reporting on sexual abuse bc she publicly opposes it is absurd. A 🧵
