“The marriage of first-hand prison accounts with artists’ interpretations is conceptually strong and emotionally effective.” —Tito Bottitta, Creative Director/Cofounder of Upstatement. Silenced | Voices from Solitary Confinement now online on @CommArts - https://t.co/r1Aav2ILWd

@vinodt_ Yes, the perfect start to a Saturday haha.

It would be useful for people who work in and report on the legal system to spend 5 minutes today thinking about what each stage of the Rittenhouse case would have looked like had a Black teen living in poverty crossed state lines with an assault rifle and shot three protestors.

Such a great tribute to one of the legendary graphic designers of all time, Bob Gill. RIP, Sir.

Your taxmoney should be used to provide more care, not cages and extreme policing.

Look at these charts. Just unbelievable

Here’s the greatest case which says it out loud: Jury system doesn’t work.

[ABC News @ABC]

NEW: Parents of Anthony Huber, who was shot and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse, react to verdict: "Today’s verdict means there is no accountability for the person who murdered our son." https://t.co/f9VVP4qLSf

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

Kyle Rittenhouse had his gun possession charge dismissed. Chicago public defender: "The people we serve face a dual threat: harm from a community awash in violence—& harm from a system awash in incarceration. And guns don’t disappear. Shootings continue."https://t.co/SX1gpX5e6v

Thank you @Art4JusticeFund for making this movie happen. And to each and every one of you supporting artists on the inside and giving them a platform once they are released from cages and are still trying to figure their life out, I salute you.

[Pallavi Daga @DesignbyPallavi]

I was invited to the documentary screening of @jesse_krimes last night and I left the movie really further believing in art as a powerful tool in organizing and criminal justice advocacy!

[Pallavi Daga @DesignbyPallavi]

How?

Art is a form of escape for over 2.5 million incarcerated men and women from the numbness and torture of the steel and concrete made cages.

[Pallavi Daga @DesignbyPallavi]

Art can be felt. It can help people going through similar experiences who don't know how to take it in. Beyond that, It can also influence something deeper than our conscience to take action. To create a change.

[Pallavi Daga @DesignbyPallavi]

Art on the outside can also translate the injustice of the carceral systems throughout the world shedding light on issues far beyond what words can capture.

Minorities have been silenced. Kashmir has been facing this for more than a year now. Tripura, next in line. We need an answer!

India shuts down the internet more than any other country in the world. Will Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi mention that when he gives an address at a technology summit this week? https://t.co/xK35xc23VW

@jduffyrice All of them are so amazing. Will be heartbroken to see any of ‘em leave. I don’t want the semi finals to happen 😭

[Pallavi Daga @DesignbyPallavi]

I urge you all to join me in this tweet to @immcouncil @POTUS @PMOIndia @USAndIndia to take action. To let us visit our families and friends. To make lives easier for people who’re doing everything in their power to help progress the nation’s socioeconomic status.

I just learned that I might not be able to visit home in another 1.5 years. The last time I did was for a few weeks, 1 year back.

[Pallavi Daga @DesignbyPallavi]

The whole process seems so bizarre and inefficient for the officials as well as the individuals going through it. A change needs to happen. With over 85,000+ people in the US approved on H1B status, one would expect a simpler process and more importantly, healthier state of mind.
