So I wanna start with a disclaimer:

I do *not* fuck with pimps.

I do not like pimps.

I think that they are generally scum.

But they probably don’t operate like how you imagine.


First, I wanna address the cultural conception of the “pimp”

This conception is based in white supremacy

It is a black and/or foreign man, who kidnaps little white girls and sells their innocence against their will with violence

This is what you’ve been told is a “pimp”

I need you to delete this from your brain because this caricature of white supremacist fear of physically and sexually aggressive black men does not exist

The first person in the sex industry who tried to be my “pimp” was a skinny 30 year old white woman who was also a stripper.

There’s a reason anti-SW orgs push the imagery of evil non-white men as pimps

I also need everyone to know 99.9999% of pimps are not in the business of kidnapping people and locking them in a hotel room against their will to service customers.

I can’t say it never ever ever ever could happen, but, the VAST majority of the time, it is not that
Strongly desirable, but 0% likelihood IMO

I'd love for the President's pardon powers to be restricted to before the election


Very low

I won't put them at zero because you never know what could theoretically happen, but the last amendment was largely accidental and still 28 years ago

The last intentional amendment was ratified 49 years ago


No

The entire chapter of 1 Nephi 20 in the #TheBookOfMormon is an altered text of the entire chapter of Isaiah 48 from the King James Version of the Bible. Here's a screenshot of the beginning of 1 Nephi 20.


Notice the textual similarities between 1 Nephi 20:1 [
https://t.co/agtlGhpMEJ ] and Isaiah 48:1 in the KJV [ https://t.co/gB5Qk3CFMU ]

Isaiah 48:1 (KJV) Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

1 Nephi 20:1 "Hearken and hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, or out of the waters of baptism, ...

... who swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, yet they swear not in truth nor in righteousness."

So, I opened Twitter. I hoped to find a cute animal or maybe a funny meme or - I don't know - something to alleviate this weight in my chest. The lack of relief from my fears. The overwhelming range of emotions that reduce me to crying when our heater kicks on at night so

Husband doesn't hear me and feel bad about my sorrow. Anything but what I actually found. You. Trending on Twitter. And against better judgement, I clicked your name. And there, embodied before me in a solid form, unlike me in a cancer visit with my husband, was YOU doing the

unimaginable: mocking COVID protocols with a large group of people and forcing yourself into the lives, and twitterfeeds, of people who follow the rules and try to do the things that would allow cancer patients' families in the doctor's office with them.
Much to say about yesterday’s pardons and commutations. Before getting to the updated chart, some general reflections.

Trump has upended the traditional criteria for clemency:
https://t.co/HkOXJwY4G7. The traditional guiding principle: “a pardon is granted on the basis of the petitioner's demonstrated good conduct for a substantial period of time after conviction and service of sentence.”

Request for pardon presumptively must wait 5 years after conviction or release. Traditional criteria include superlative post-conviction conduct & character; acceptance of responsibility & remorse; and hesitation to pardon serious offenses (violent crime, white collar fraud, etc)

V few of Trump’s clemency decisions meet these criteria. His pardons usually based on insider contacts, & are for v serious crimes that often dont satisfy 5-year rule, usually for people who do not express remorse. They almost always serve Trump’s personal or political interests.

As I told WP: “Other presidents have occasionally issued abusive, self-serving pardons based on insider connections. Almost all of Trump’s pardons fit that pattern. What other presidents did exceptionally, Trump does as a matter of course.”
