This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #ItsForYou a song to dedicate to someone else on the fediverse.

WIthout excluding anyone else, two people that make this place fun are @Kitty and @neurothing with their weekly music hashtags themes.

So this is for them.

Big Boys - Fun, Fun, Fun (most definitely not the Beach Boys song)

@LRRRonEarth but gave up. Every song I thought of was incredibly inappropriate.]

It’s #STFUfriday!

When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:

• I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.

• Am I free to leave?

• I am not answering any questions.

• If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."

• I want to speak to a lawyer.

One of the biggest obstacles to claiming those protections? Bill Clinton, Janet Reno, and Timothy McVeigh.

In short the AEDPA. #RepealAEDPA 🧵

Here’s an #AltText question that I vacillate on: what about colors? Obviously some blind people were previously sighted and so including colors in alt text is helpful to them. What about people who were never sighted? What makes for good description for those people when we’re trying to convey the variation and definition that color brings? Should we just use regular color terms because people know how to navigate those terms, or is there some different emphasis that would be helpful?

The PBS website has so much great content on it. I just watched a drawing tutorial and then a live Prince concert. It really is a treasure.

Now is a good time to refresh on a concept in US First Amendment law called "The Heckler's Veto." It is the principle that the right to free speech and free association cannot be prevented or punished because people who object to the speech cause a disruption.

Invoking your right to silence requires the police to stop questioning you only if you actually stop talking. Refusing to answer individual questions does not clearly invoke your Miranda rights. /1

It's #MusicWomenWednesday hosted by @loewe

How about Lorax (Lori Black)? She played bass for the Melvins on my favorite records by them: Ozma, Bullhead, and (the immortal) Eggnog.

Bonus fact: She is the daughter of Shirley Temple. Yes, that Shirley Temple. Look it up.

Every college administrator that calls in police to break up a peaceful encampment is physically endangering young people that they are supposed to protect.

There is no debate about this. It is fact.

Wonky but important. Be on the lookout for proposed legislation in U.S. states that reclassifies “chemical recycling” from waste management to manufacturing. It reduces regulation, allowing greater emissions/runoff a.k.a. poison. h/t Living on Earth radio.

Cops are only REQUIRED to give you Miranda warnings if you are “in custody.” “Not free to go” is an oversimplification.

Remember you can always invoke your rights even when you aren’t in custody.🧵

Look, I don’t have time. I’ve got deadlines. But you either believe that everyone is entitled to a fair trial or you don’t.

Please don’t chip away at my clients’ rights (which are in the end are also your rights) because you don’t like that a particularly bad guy got a good result.

It's #TuneTuesday by @derthomas and @Kitty

The theme is #TheOpener - the first song you remember hearing live.

The song? 🤷 The band was Pleased Youth. They opened for St. Vitus and Black Flag at a biker bar/strip club. I was 13. I lost my mind. Live video from about a year later below.

I was supposed to see Agnostic Front in studio during Pat Duncan's legendary @WFMU show the week before but they never showed. OK w/that.

Pat's amazing archives linked in next post.

If you want to testify at trial, you will wish you had STFU.

If you testify but you spoke to the police, even a tiny inconsistency or omission will be used as evidence that you are lying. /1
