As the DEA celebrates its 50th birthday, new research highlights how counterproductive its mission is. Published in the American Journal of Public Health, the research links drug busts to a *spike* in overdoses in nearby areas reason.com/2023/07/06/dru…
"When feminists embrace individualistic criminal punishment, they relieve the state and society of the responsibility to create the structures and provide the support that prevents gender violence in the first place." ✍🏾 @ayagruber for @the_emancipator bostonglobe.com/2023/06/27/opi…
🚨A child is not a pet🦮 or a fashion accessory👜🚨 Children are individuals with their own ideas. Expecting them to shoehorn themselves in to our lives, our preferences, our purposes instead of their own is misusing our power and might against them.
after a decade of child advocacy and activism, the most shocking thing is still how many adults forgot what being children was like. they love discussing their own childhood trauma, but treat children cruelly. growing up eager to exude the same dominance they were victims of.
LGBTQ+ kids become unhappy adults if not supported by family and schools, research finds thepinknews.com/2023/06/01/jus…
The child is the entity the education is built around. A child shouldn't be raised to conform to the system. The system should be broken in order to fit the needs of the child.
Desfinancia, Desarma, Desbanda a la Policía!
To get their children to behave more like adults, parents withdraw love and attention, or impose other unpleasant consequences on them, to double-bind them into complying.
When parents punish children for honestly expressing their thoughts and feelings, the children have to fracture their integrity and dissemble. They have to become self-conscious, self-coercive, dishonest. And now who are they? Are they the fake front, or the hidden inner self?
BREAKING: Toronto City Council has voted 18-7 to end single-family only exclusionary zoning, allowing duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes in all residential areas of the city. They become the largest city in North America to do so. 📍Toronto 🇨🇦
No. What the polling shows, overwhelmingly: Low income Black people think cops are discriminatory and are deeply mistrustful of them. But when more/less funding are the only two options, they choose more. The sensible takeaway is they find policing both harassing and ineffective.

The notion of "parents' rights" is a fig leaf for an idea that actually enjoys a wide consensus: that children are property.
@phagafaga Everyone shits on Youth Liberation because everyone knows they'll never have to be 14 again.
Proximity to a marginalized group only leads to understanding if there’s no power imbalance. Hell, even if you used to be part of that group, if you later hold power over them, you will *lose* your understanding. That’s why youth are oppressed despite everyone having been kids.
This attitude is itself the source of so many problems with children. When children react negatively to this sort of regard, the adults double down on it. Then the level of rage this produces in the child encourages yet more of the same response.

@LilacMedusa Isn't it terrifying just how little excuse people need to bring out the most grotesque homophobic stereotyping, too. Including the stock-character transphobe philosopher.
@LilacMedusa Kinda sums up their position. That person specifically goes on to say surrogacy is mainly used by gay people. I believe the crux of it is: Adoption tend to exclude gay people as a matter of rules, therefore they are okay with it.
@DJ98024 Oh shut it. Children don't in fact need a mother and a father. Children of gay parents on average fare better than children of straight parents. You're just a reactionary conservative and homophobe.
"When feminists embrace individualistic criminal punishment, they relieve the state and society of the responsibility to create the structures and provide the support that prevents gender violence in the first place." ✍🏾 @ayagruber for @the_emancipator bostonglobe.com/2023/06/27/opi…
I get these kind of comments daily. Some people get really upset at the idea of not controlling our kids and sharing power with them instead.
That's the daring move, the courageous move, the move that takes us deeper into non-coercion. Peeling back the layers of what it means to treat our kids with full respect for their humanity 🙇🏻
I know someone is itching to tell me that natural consequences are the best way for kids to learn. Trust me I know! It seems so logical. How can it be punitive? I know you don't intend to be, but when we have an agenda, natural consequences become directed. Not really natural.
To be clear, my translation is not what the writer thinks she is saying. Her conscious intention is to advocate being kind and gentle with children. But our intentions can be good, yet the reality of our words/actions can be bad. You ran over a cat unintentionally. It is dead.
🚨A child is not a pet🦮 or a fashion accessory👜🚨 Children are individuals with their own ideas. Expecting them to shoehorn themselves in to our lives, our preferences, our purposes instead of their own is misusing our power and might against them.
@prntgdcolonized It’s crazy how many adults have zero or poor emotional regulation because of this.
@JABOIDAVIOLIST I'll wager to say most of us do not have high emotional intelligence.
It's time to give ourselves permission to express our rage. It's time we allowed our children to rage when they need to. Repressing our "dark" emotions is killing us. The emotions have to come out eventually & if we don't learn to rage constructively, we risk harming our kids
I learned to stuff those feelings down inside me. Then, as an adult, I'd get in my car and scream like a banshee at anyone going a mile under the speed limit. I raged in very dangerous ways.
James Baldwin said "to be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time." Almost all the time. Imagine what that does to our minds and bodies... I personally wasn't allowed to feel much outside of happiness
Generations upon generations of people who haven't felt safe expressing our very justified feelings, taught through violence (in our homes and in the streets) to smile through the pain.
A big part of conscious, decolonized parenting is allowing your child to display the FULL range of human emotions... rage included. But Black people have been conditioned to repress our rage, for the comfort of white people and for our own safety.
