#privilege

There's a trending post about how Mean all those people who complain about the Fediverse are. After all, Not All Fediverse Users!

A comment about how racist Mastodon can be doesn't do Anything To Hurt You. Being the victim of racist bullying, which can and does happen here, Does.

If someone wants to vent about it in a goddam open forum, no-one has the right to dismiss this because Their experience has been rosy and sparkling. That's the definition of privilege talking.

I have again,

(foolishly or bravely)

entered a conversation about raw milk on one of my local Facebook community pages.

So, why didn’t you get any work done today?

A metaphor that came to me while riding my bike. Seems right to share on Juneteenth: https://bikestylelife.com/2023/06/19/riding-thoughts-privilege-is-a-tailwind/.

There’s a story I hear in #LGBTQ+ spaces: that coming out young is brave. That the earlier you do it, the more self-aware you must be.
The truth is that access and support— not just courage — play a quiet but powerful role in when or whether we come out.

#ComingOut #Privilege #Queer

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

Practical equality of opportunity for all citizens, when we achieve it, will have two great results. First, every man will have a fair chance to make of himself all that in him lies; to reach the highest point to which his capacities, unassisted by special privilege of his own and unhampered by the special privilege of others, can carry him, and to get for himself and his family substantially what he has earned. Second, equality of opportunity means that the commonwealth will get from every citizen the highest service of which he is capable. No man who carries the burden of the special privileges of another can give to the commonwealth that service to which it is fairly entitled.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-08-31), “The New Nationalism,” John Brown Memorial Park dedication, Osawatomie, Kansas

Woke Hypocrisy Unveiled - Tim Pool on Bill Maher

The same goes for people of the #globalmajority —and anti-Blackness is *often* demonstrated by non-Black people of the global majority.

Your #oppressed identities do not make you immune to oppressing others. If anything, they can sometimes encourage you to hold fiercely to the remaining power and #privilege that you *can* access.

"What makes affluent anti-vaxxers distinct is their belief that they are the ones questioning the system, when in fact they’re coasting on its success."

“50,000 dead Palestinians isn’t enough to call it genocide.”

How fucking morally vacuous do you have to be for such a thought to even enter that privileged brain of yours?

Forget the consensus of every genocide scholar out there that this is genocide. Forget the live-streamed suffering. How devoid of humanity are you for your argument to be “that’s just not enough dead people for me.”

“We invoked the #StateSecrets #privilege over many of the details—of course our officials discussed what should be divulged publicly. This just proves they are responsible public servants putting the safety of the American people first. The leakers of these emails, on the other hand, clearly do not care about public safety,” McLaughlin said.

#FactCheck #TrumpLies #Trump #CoverUp #law #immigration #Rendition

Cooper: Only have ~30 docs that are relevant vs 500 that have been withheld based in part on #DeliberativeProcess #privilege

The final factor is harm to the govt, which I think is for the government to show. They haven't filed affidavits or explained why disclosure would harm process, etc

That's it from Cooper on deliberative process.

Guynn up to respond.

#KilmarAbregoGarcia #immigration #law #judiciary #Trump #rendition

After Cooper argues that #DeliberativeProcess #privilege doesn't apply given #misconduct by the govt, he turns to another exception: the "compelling need" exception.

That squarely overrides the invocation of the privilege here, he tells Judge #Xinis.

Cooper: This discovery is relevant & important. Govt hasn't pointed to alternative sources of info. There's been no substance produced of information that's key & critical here.

#KilmarAbregoGarcia #immigration #law #judiciary #Trump #rendition

Guynn: Think would need to brief that. But I don't want to concede that #intent is at issue.

#Xinis asks attorney for #KilmarAbregoGarcia to come up & address the "government misconduct" exception to #DeliberativeProcess #privilege.

[Because the privilege is not absolute & can be overcome by a showing of govt #misconduct]

Up for Abrego Garcia this time is Jonathan Cooper

Cooper: From the beginning this has been a case about govt misconduct

#immigration #law #judiciary #Trump #rendition

#Xinis: Intent to facilitate, intent to comply w/my order.

Guynn: When you refer to #intent, what are you referring to?

Xinis: Can give you cases I've been thinking about. There's a proposition that #DeliberativeProcess #privilege doesn't really apply when intent is at issue

Gives hypo: re discrimination claim by fired employee. if decision making is privileged, can never get to the issue of wrongful termination.

#KilmarAbregoGarcia #immigration #law #judiciary #Trump #rendition

Guynn: That's why there are so many privileged documents here that's why hard to ID document custodians, etc.

#Xinis: Almost impossible to determine from the log on what basis you're claiming attorney client privilege. Eg, if you have 18 people CC'ed on an email. without more info, I can't assess.
I don't believe the #DeliberativeProcess #privilege is as broad in this case because the govt's intent is at issue.

#KilmarAbregoGarcia #immigration #law #judiciary #Trump #rendition

Rossman: If I gave your honor what I have of meaningful #discovery, it'd be nothing

#Xinis announces that she wants to move on to discussion of the #DeliberativeProcess #privilege. Wants to talk about the #law on that, then move the hearing under seal to discuss further.

Guynn is up first to discuss.

#KilmarAbregoGarcia #immigration #law #judiciary #Trump #rendition

Rossman: Knowing the stakes, we ask them to be kept on as short a leash as possible.

Now turns to #StateSecrets & what govt must show to properly invoke the #privilege.

Rossman: It was interesting to me that they aren't taking a categorical view that all steps they've taken to facilitate return are subject to state secrets.

#KilmarAbregoGarcia #immigration #law #judiciary #Trump #rendition

#DOJ / Guynn continues: Not sure where we left off...I think one of the #StateSecrets factors.

Guynn: There are ZERO documents withheld based ONLY on state secrets #privilege. There are 43 based on deliberative process...

#Xinis: What am I looking at then? I see one of those privileges invoked 1400 times...

#KilmarAbregoGarcia #immigration #law #judiciary #Trump #rendition

#DOJ: One reason why is because of how the plaintiffs set this up. They want categorical piercing of #privilege. They don't point to specific documents.

#Xinis: There's 3 questions. So why are you saying categorial?

Guynn: [Long pause.]

We're not saying ANY answer to those questions are state secrets...Guynn tries to go off on tangent about privilege log, but Xinis interjects.

Xinis: Can we just stay w/the affidavit?
