Hoping CA can soon find the gumption to take slavery and involuntary servitude out of the state constitution.
Alabama and Tennessee found a way.

I’m sorry for your medical condition, Dr. Barot, but solitary confinement in a bedroom of your house bears no resemblance to confinement to a concrete 6x9 cell, often for years or even decades. #SolitaryWatch
Thank you @sfchronicle for the platform to talk about the impact of new Covid variants on the immunocomprmised. "This was preventable, but only if we lived in a world that didn’t deem large swaths of human beings expendable."

“Voters in Oregon and other states have come together across party lines to say that this stain must be removed from state constitutions,” - @SenJeffMerkley
Every State should follow these moral victories so we can ratify the U.S. Constitution & #EndTheException@AntiRecidivism
"There should be no exceptions to a ban on slavery," said Democratic U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley following passage of Measure 112 in Oregon

Thank you Dwayne Betts. I’m a passionate Warriors fan and you express my feelings about their lack of response to Irving’s antisemitism beautifully here.
One of the reasons we're still dealing with mass incarceration is b/c people in power are making a conscious decision not to fund public defense. Make it a fair fight! Support the right to counsel. Check out my oped #FundPublicDefense#EndMassIncarceration https://t.co/sIAAEIsNoA
Time for CA to do the same! @GavinNewsom Let our state be a true leader. D.C. considers a revamp to its criminal justice system based on science. https://t.co/fMzqQfc8Vk via @NazgolG @SentencingProject
Our so-called democracy:
#RishiSunak BREAKING: New @SentencingProj report finds that 4.6 million Americans — one out of every 50 adults — will be barred from voting in the midterm election due to previous felony convictions. #LockedOut2022 https://t.co/mLq6WMwz75
Voter integrity starts at the front end of our election systems. We're joining @FLRightsRestore in calling on Florida to stop arresting returning citizens for voting & fix its broken election system to ensure all voters know their voter eligibility. https://t.co/MEqtSmWbJW
@Harpers@reproutopia Loved your article. Years ago, doing research for my dissertation on gay playwright William Inge, I came across a 1962 Newsweek article about Inge and noting he was “dating” MM—in reality a good friend. In another interview he insisted, that whole “dumb blonde” thing was an act.
Advocates offer help to those arrested for voting fraud.
“What we are seeing right now in Florida is absolutely egregious. And these videos were just heartbreaking and show just how wrong arrests and prosecutions are.”—@nicoleporter#FreeTheVote https://t.co/eb2qNErFt1
In 2021, Governor Newsom commuted just 13 people. For context Governor Brown commuted 246 in 2018. Governor @GavinNewsom has acknowledged publicly that ending up on Death Row has more to do with wealth and race than guilt or innocence and the same goes for LWOP. #WDADP#DropLWOP
