@deborahsolo I also love that picture, but David Shapiro's life was so much more than that single moment. He was, and remains, a towering presence as a poet, art critic and teacher. Thousands of students and lovers of literature are mourning him. A truly splendid poet and human being.

Very thankful today for the staff and students of the Juvenile Innocence & Fair Sentencing Clinic at LMU Loyola Law School. 14 clients released from prison since last Thanksgiving will now enjoy this holiday in freedom.

Op-Ed: Reform – Not Crime – Was the Winning Message in 2022 https://t.co/h6zB29pamu

Crime coverage on Fox spiked when Democrats began to lead in polls. Then CNN & MSNBC followed Fox’s fear mongering. While crime reporting is disconnected from actual crime, how media conspires to manufacture consent is interconnected. Fox affects us all, not just it’s viewers.

[Dyjuan Tatro @DyjuanTatro]

It should come as no surprise that Fox ditched its overblown crime coverage on about Election Day. For months, its crime coverage was totally unhinged from reality as it sought to manipulate public opinion ahead of the election. Fear mongering is political strategy, not news.

Voters Didn’t Buy the ‘Crime Panic’ Narrative. Democrats Should Take Note. https://t.co/g5M5xSxZF4

@jenvanlaar @Johnnydontlike @KABCRadio In fact, recall proponents are anything but incompetent; they have been very successful in amplifying their unrepresentative voices in the media, leading some journalists to expect a different result.

[Chris Hawthorne @HawthorneJIFS]

@jenvanlaar @Johnnydontlike @KABCRadio While this is an interesting story, it misses the broader story of the failed recall: proponents were forced to rely on invalid signatures because the recall was broadly unpopular. A broadly popular recall would not struggle to gather signatures from 10% of voters.

Earthquakes: voters in Tennessee's biggest county just ousted a slate of tough-on-crime officials.

Among losers: the GOP DA & the local judge who threw the book at Pamela Moses for wanting to vote.

And abortion loomed large, 2 days after KS.

It wasn't okay when Trump said, "Some people say ..." and it's not okay when LA Times journalists say, "Some wonder ..." Quote sources, LA Times.

James Queally needs to take a hard look at how he writes about the imprisonment of children. Children who commit crimes are real human beings, with real stories. In an article that purports to be about them, they deserve to have their real stories told.

My father was granted release on parole today, after more than 40 years in prison! 😭❤️

Still reflecting on this ruling...As a defense attorney representing almost exclusively Black and Brown youth for 20+ years, I have never had a judge preclude prosecutors from using the words “victim” or “alleged victim.” 1/
