@gleick Maxwell was raped by Epstein at gunpoint and forced to do his dirty work out of domestic violence. She had Stockholm Syndrome. Yes it would be nice if she'd been able to overpower Epstein but always #TransformativeJustice

It’s also great to see people like Becky Evans continue to serve the public even though she’s no longer in political office

What is the transformative justice approach to reaching out to your neighbours and checking if they're alright, when a mirror's been thrown out of their house... especially if it intersects with mental health and potentially abuse #askfedi #transformativejustice #solarpunk

"A core component of the carceral ideology, the system of ideas that justifies prisons, is the notion that there are people who are intrinsically bad, intrinsically criminals, and everyone else is an innocent, and the innocents must be protected from the criminals. The ideology of incarceration forgoes the possibility of transformation. They are fundamentally incompatible. [...] The ideology of incarceration sees Crime as a pathology, but not that the criminals are mentally ill and deserve therapy and resources; but that society has been infected with Crime. [...]

As Žižek says, we internalize the ideologies of our societies. Even if we vocally purport to subscribe to an Anarchist ideology, or even a Prison Abolitionist ideology, we have all been raised in and internalized the Incarceration Ideology. [...]

What is troubling is that, if there is no possibility of individual transformation, then there is no possibility of societal transformation. If Abuse is not a symptom of patriarchy, but a permanent irreparable state driven by holding a poisonous ideology—and if people who hold problematic ideologies are likewise irreparable—then we are completely out of luck for having any hope of positive change in society."

Dear mental health therapists, stop starting sessions with folx who experience SI with; “how are you doing”? This question is an integral part of supremacist and
"normative" standards.

Forcing MAD folx to feign happiness is embedded within ableist, pro-sanist ideologies. Many of us are not okay, and it’s okay to not be okay.

Instead of pressuring us to focus on "goals", or to find “joy in all moments”, support us in the depths of our pain. Instead of focusing on "solutions" and safety plans, sit with us in silence. Read about MAD pride, and the anti-sanist movement. Don't just accept us, or expect us to “change".

Celebrate us, learn and unlearn the ways in which the mental health industrial complex perpetuates ongoing harm, and is often triggering and re-traumatizing. #disabled #mad #ableism #mentalhealthindustrialcomplex #AntiAbleism #sanism #antisanism #cptsd #deppresion #anxiety #si #madpride #trauma #healing #transformativejustice #transformimgtrauma

I just found out California is trying to transform “mandated reporting to community supporting”. I hate being a mandated reporter. If I notice harmful behavior, I want to intervene using restorative and transformative measures. My #RestorativeJustice values encourage accountability and relationship repair. My #TransformativeJustice values provide structures to prevent future harm. A #MandatoryReporter cannot legally act within these values unless states do

Transformative Justice movement but health care focused. Is that already a thing?

Am thinking beyond Medicare For All and the NHS - our society needs to be transformed in order to improve health outcomes overall.

Palestine and Israel are collectively a pretty complex situation, and here is a rich statement on the situation, rich enough to at least begin to match its complexity. So I signed it.

I won't even try to summarize it for you. If you want to understand my feelings & thoughts regarding Israel and Palestine, I can't think of a better place to start. nglcommunity.org/responding-to #israel #palestine #transformative #justice #TransformativeJustice #peace #war #reconciliation #love #BelovedCommunity

i think it has to be emphasized that folks who participate in mutual aid groups and interact with some of these people that are the focus in the post will themselves receive further pain and hardship to the extent that certain behaviors go on unchecked. these people who are already acting out of empathy and trying to promote conviviality should not be dismissed as uncaring when they enforce their own boundaries for their health and survival.

i don't have personal experience participating in accountability processes. i agree with criticism about them that argues how they can be performed in a way that reinforces a punishment dynamic.

i can't agree that "most mutual aid collectives are kind and forgiving and committed to transformative justice". i believe that should be their goal, but they're made up of these same hurt people and they don't always achieve that in practice. we can have hope that they will meet that aim but also hold space to be honest about shortcomings.

my experiences are entirely my own, but both mutual aid groups i was a part of included a person who acted in authoritarian, coercive ways that remained unchecked. i initially said and did nothing at first in both instances. of course this didn't improve the situation. when i spoke up about the behavior i received invalidation, pushback and accusations of harm and lack of empathy.

this post seems to mostly focus on this hypothetical individual(s) who has so much pain and trauma that they lash out on everybody else (possibly creating further pain and trauma). while this could be any of us at some point - it's worth saying that we don't all behave in that way when we are struggling. it's not inevitable.

if we solely prioritize an imperfect but unaccountable individual who is in need it can potentially end up harming the collective at large and even dissolution of the network.

i can't really agree with the premise that any pursuit of accountability is equivalent to punishment. any ideal society we want to enact will have some standard principles intended to keep us safe. i'm not sure if this is quite the take here but it reminds of that discourse.

i get that we're not there yet, and we're all suffering and struggling under current conditions. but some ideas about mutual aid seem to suggest martyrdom 'til we get there.

i agree with unconditional care at the macro level, but i think we have to be diligent about potential harms at the micro level. it's not always possible for unconditional care to be currently provided by small groups of people who lack resources.

"pissing people off" like 'perpetuating harm' is subjective and can cover a huge amount of ground.

through consensus we might gather that saying something rude on one or a few occasions is pretty low ranking compared to a general standard of coercion, intimidation, and disrespect across interactions, and that's lower than SV or DV situations.

so i've been seeing this make the rounds and i agree with certain ideas but also think some serious stuff is left out or glossed over due to how things are worded. i don't say this to be antagonistic or suggest there is bad intent here.

it's true that folks need care regardless of their behavior or actions. although i'm not advocating for or volunteering myself here - the reality is this maps out to far-right adherents and anyone else intensely unsavory.
