But even in resistance, I do question.
I do explore.
I do seek understanding.
And I grieve what’s been lost, in me, in us, by a world that still doesn’t see that as valuable.

Today in Labor History July 19, 2012: The People's Protection Units (YPG) captured the city of Kobanî without resistance, starting the Rojava conflict in Northeast Syria. In 2014, The Kobani Canton declared autonomy from Syria. Supporters claim they have implemented a form of libertarian socialism, influenced by American anarchist Murray Bookchin, with decentralization, gender equality and local governance through direct democracy; created worker cooperatives and govern the through local councils, each with one male and one female co-president. The councils have gender quotas requiring at least 40% female participation. They have banned child marriages and honor killings. They are attempting to replace punitive justice with a system of restorative justice. And women play a prominent role on the battlefield, as well as within the political system. Yet private property remains a part of their system, which is inconsistent with Bookchinite anarchism. And according to Andrea Glioti, remnants of the PKK’s Stalinist past remain in Rojava. He cites the ubiquitous portraits of PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, often accompanied by the slogan “There’s no life without a leader.”
Steffi, der @Orkan_der_rechtspflege und ich haben uns mal wieder unterhalten über ein Thema das kaum einer kennt. Schade, eigentlich. Ist nämlich wirklich eine gute Sache.
1 #Anwältin + 1 #Richter + 1 Thema.
10 Minuten ohne Skript und ohne #Schwurbel.
#TOA? Was`n das? Festival? Nein, das wäre das W:O:A. TOA ist viel, viel wichtiger und alles, aber kein Unterhaltungsprogramm. Der #Täter-Opfer-Ausgleich - kurz TOA - ist ein superwichtiges Instrument, das dazu beitragen kann, den durch eine Straftat verursachten Konflikt ein Stück weit aufzulösen, damit das Opfer mit der Tat abschließen und vielleicht ein Stück Sicherheitsgefühl wieder gewinnen kann.
Wir erklären, was ein TOA ist, wie er funktioniert und wie man ihn anleiern kann. Nicht nur für Betroffene einer Tat wichtig zu wissen, sondern für jeden von uns. Vielleicht kennen wir jemanden, den wir auf die Möglichkeit eines TOA aufmerksam machen wollen. Denn der wird viel zu selten genutzt.
Fun Fact: Manchmal fristet der TOA nur deshalb ein Schattendasein, weil er von der #Staatsanwaltschaft als “laufendes Verfahren” kategorisiert werden muss. In der #Statistik sammeln sich dann “offene Verfahren”, obwohl sie derweil gar nicht zu bearbeiten sind. Kann man auch anders lösen. So wie Baden-Württemberg zum Beispiel.
Neugierig geworden? Na dann: Episode 26 ist online ab Sonntag, 20.7.2025, 9.30h auf allen üblichen Kanälen, als Audio und Video. Am einfachsten findet man alles hier:

And yes, I understand that it is a delicate topic and that people deserve second chances.
This is why we need #RestorativeJustice instead of a patriarchal judicial system.
If you're curious about the way restorative justice works then this two header (from a victim's mother & her son's killer) is a really interesting example of what restorative justice can (and cannot) do....
Its both tragic but also life affirming in the sense that it demonstrates that humans talking & communicating even in the most awful of circumstances can achieve some lasting benefit for those in pain & offer a way forward.

6.7: Restorative Justice & Reconciliation With Rev Nora Jacob
Join us for a conversation with Rev. Nora Jacob on a better way to dispense justice than to subject offenders to a strictly brutal prison experience. A way that, by recognizing that hurt people hurt people, aims to empower, not just victims, but also offenders, to heal. This isn’t just showing mercy to incarcerated people, it significantly lowers the chances that they’ll end up back in prison after their release. That's a win for us all.
@elan @Raccoon I personally believe in restorative justice as in "one works towards undoing the harm caused"...
- Let them re-earn trust by doing actual community service and redistributing their wealth to undo the harm they did...
Seems like a fair and reasonable way to handle #MAGA|ts and #Billionaires...
