“It would be naïve to depend on the Supreme Court to defend the rights of poor people, women, people of color, dissenters of all kinds. Those rights only come alive when citizens organize, protest, demonstrate, strike, boycott, rebel, and violate the law in order to uphold justice.”

If you missed our radio show last Friday you can check out me, @zorakc2c.bsky.social, and the gang playing with The Hard Modes on WTJU's Offbeat Roadhouse. Link to the recording here - www.wtju.net/recent-shows...
Was a fantastic time! The studio audience was also packed, which was a treat.

I have two things to say about CPR. Actually 3.
1. Learn CPR. If you can't take a formal class for time/money reasons, go watch shit online.
2. You won't harm someone by performing CPR if they need CPR. You cannot make someone more dead.
3. Most CPR fails. Do it anyway.

Yes indeed! They share the recordings after the fact. it usually takes a few days I think but pinging @zorakc2c.bsky.social so that between the two of us we can try to remember to check back in.

After Gorsuch read extensively from his opinion, Sotomayor is reading from her dissent.
"Sleep is a biological necessity," she begins, "not a crime."

Wonder if this is a way of also making those dead projects have another professionally legible life for their creators? Peer reviewed as it lived, peer reviewed in death.
