A reflection on neutrality

When should we remain neutral?
Why do we choose to stay neutral in the face of wrongs?
Why is neutrality a trap of our own making?

Every time I tell someone I have two birth certificates, they say, “Well, that’s not legal.” It is legal. It’s not just legal but it has been standard practice for decades. How it started is worse.

"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025."

#Institutionalbetrayal is
indifference to suffering,
focusing on profit and self-protection. It looks like:
Churches covering up abuse...
Universities...
Family courts...
Schools...
Hospitals...
Social services...
The military...

@royalsociety.org for empty words

“It’s still not clear from their statement whether they stand by their code of conduct or whether they feel that they are ever going to enforce it...it is also unclear what action will be taken to advocate for science and scientists."
Elon Musk survives as fellow of Royal Society despite anger among scientists
Questions remain over whether further action will be taken after resignations and calls for the Tesla CEO to be expelled

There are no words I have for this except “self-interested cowardice.”

Our jobs are predicated on doing right by our patients. Shame on you, Dr. Cassidy.

Children are taught not to lie. We tell them the truth matters. Many of us were told lying is a sin.
For a lot of adoptees, the first people to lie to us were our own parents. And our own state.

I listened to this great podcast on #DARVO. I suggest you do as well because it's important to be able to recognize and name tactics used to discredit survivors. #ChurchToo #InstitutionalBetrayal #BetrayalTrauma

A lot in here, but the story of descendant Jordan Lloyd shows how these initiatives can become #InstitutionalBetrayal for the exact people they’re supposed to help.
Ever since being contacted by Chen, Lloyd has felt the weight of her family history and a sense of responsibility. Her ancestors repeatedly petitioned for their freedom, for their rights and their humanity. Darby and his sister Flora had both been separated from their family by their enslavers as young children. Tony Vassall bought his daughter’s freedom, and when his enslaver died by injuries sustained at the battle of Bunker Hill, six-year-old Darby walked 10 miles home to his family. The family had been staunch abolitionists and activists, suffered through bondage, and fought for their freedom. Lloyd struggles with where that leaves her. “I just don’t know where to begin,” Lloyd said. She considers taking to social media, calling the administration and making demands. Should she protest? She doesn’t know. Lloyd’s sister, who declined to be interviewed for this article, went to Antigua and Lloyd said she’s also interested in going. “I would go anywhere to talk to anyone at this point,” she said. “Except Harvard, because there’s no one I really trust there right now.” “I feel like I’m still close to the explosion,” she said. “My ears are still ringing.”

An important post from a respected trauma psychology researcher. #InstitutionalBetrayal is really a thing that smart people study. #InstitutionalCourage is what we must demand from all branches of government! Please repost!

An autogolpe is extreme institutional betrayal. Resistance can constitute institutional courage.

Advent Children & Compassion

Today we need to extend our compassion to the children of the sub-postmasters falsely accused by the Post Office
The devastating impact on their lives has been a cruel #institutionalBetrayal

With thanks 🙏 to the honourable men defending the survivors

A meditation on myth, media, and the machinery of guilt. Inspired by the story of Amanda Knox, but speaking to everyone whose life is made into a spectacle. We are all at the mercy of the stories others write in our name.

Did I mention the penalties for sending graduate students with real or perceived disabilities to Student Conduct for profanity (18 USC §249)? #ableism #infantilism #InstitutionalAbleism #InstitutionalBetrayal #InstitutionalDARVO

Random thought: Stop saying "Excuse the language" when you speak or write profanity. You're an adult. You can write or speak...however the fuck you want...without apology.

You'll be better emotionally...and physically...because of it.
