@SEPTA - things that would help your regional rail app: (1) an easily accessible schedule that shows all trains, not just an interactive version showing what’s coming; (2) a label on the interactive app telling you which train you are on so you know if you need to transfer.

SCOTUS' decision is a devastating setback for the millions of young people in the U.S. who experience homelessness each year. They deserve support, affordable housing, and living wages, not cruel punishment for sleeping in public with a blanket or other protection from the cold.

@clhubes @librariannmarie Daycare centers at all workplaces where you can swing by and hang with your kid whenever you want. But since mine are now 14 and 18, I think they would protest.

@jselbin And not to harp on the point many of us always harp on, but LFOs are still imposed on children in many states. And that still makes no sense, for all the obvious reasons.

@glennEmartin Do we get to reallocate their resources as we please?

@AmandaFanniff @LesliePaik @AlexesHarris @sarahksshannon Thanks for this important work! So much about our legal system harms instead of helps kids. Let’s use this information to do better. #debtfreejustice

[Jessica Feierman @JessicaFeierman]

@AlexesHarris Thanks for this important research!! Will definitely be posting to the #debtfreejustice campaign site to give advocates around the country working to end these harmful fees easy access to this vital information.

Whether or not you are stuck in jail for months at risk of lice, scabies, wasting syndrome and death should not depend on your income level and ability to pay bail. https://t.co/LBdAfi54pd

@heymrsbond Posted to his thread: Structural racial prejudice directed towards Black people. Considering “racism” generally doesn’t adequately address the Black experience in the US. https://t.co/VHUVW5PPaX. E.g. - disproportionate discipline against Black students. https://t.co/OVP17l2JlL

@BayouPhilosophy Would be interesting to know if/how the typical experience differs by race, ethnicity, gender identity, and field. So many questions.
