About 50 percent of people incarcerated in Los Angeles county have a mental illness diagnosis, making the county jail system the largest mental health institution in the U.S.
JOB ALERT: @REFORM (NYC)
REFORM is hiring a Director of Audience Strategy & Growth. If you are a campaign staffer (data driven, big picture oriented but perhaps siloed in only paid, social 👀 or only tech 👀) and are looking to run the whole funnel for digital campaigns that matter—apply. Link in next tweet.
"People behind bars in the state recount seeing rats in the kitchen and insects in the food, and being served meals on trays caked with mold"
This is not a scene out of a grotesque horror movie. It's reality for people incarcerated in Georgia.

A lack of transportation shouldn’t stand in the way of building a career.
Thank you @Complex for shining a light on our partnership with @Uber. Through our Work Matters initiative, Uber has funded 450 rides connecting people on probation and parole in Pennsylvania and Virginia to job training and career opportunities.
Together, we’re helping people learn a trade, gain access to life-changing careers, support their families, and build a future beyond supervision. There’s much more ahead!
“Not everybody wants to see us fail. There are folks actually rooting for us out there.”
When Jonathan came home from prison, he wasn't sure where to start. Having been incarcerated at a young age, he had little job experience and struggled to find a path toward a stable career.
Then he learned about REFORM Alliance's Work Matters program. But transportation was a major concern, and getting to training was another barrier to overcome.
Through REFORM's partnership with @Uber Jonathan received rides that helped him get to class, build new skills, and gain the confidence to pursue a career in the skilled trades.
Today, thanks to the work of the Richmond Building and Construction Trades Council, Jonathan is an apprentice with a local Pipefitters Union, building a future he once wasn't sure was possible.
🎥 Watch Jonathan's story and see how Uber x REFORM is breaking down barriers to opportunity for people rebuilding their lives after prison.

@Uber and REFORM Alliance are helping people on probation and parole turn second chances into skilled-trades careers with family-sustaining wages and benefits. Through REFORM’s Work Matters program, graduates of the inaugural cohorts in Pennsylvania and Virginia secured full-time jobs, nearly all in local unions—helping them support their families and build a future beyond supervision.
The Road To Opportunity features Alan Green in Pittsburgh and Jonathan Casey in Richmond. Their stories show how reliable transportation can help people navigate the challenges of coming home, build careers, and support their families.

When Alan came home from prison, everything had changed. Rebuilding his life meant navigating probation meetings, job interviews, and new opportunities. But as Alan put it, “getting there was half the battle.”
Without reliable transportation, even the smallest steps toward stability can feel out of reach.
That's where Uber x REFORM came in. Through REFORM Alliance's Work Matters program, Uber-funded rides helped Alan get to skilled-trades training, build new skills, and take the next step toward a career.
Today, Alan is an apprentice with the Sheet Metal Workers Union, building a future on his own terms.
🎥 Watch Alan's story and learn how Uber x REFORM is breaking down transportation barriers and driving second chances.

@bryan_johnson another VERY under researched women’s maternal health issue is Hyperemesis Gravidarum. It’s allegedly caused by surges of GDF15 and can result in maternal and fetal deaths (or just extreme sickness like I experienced 4 times). Many women terminate or have to get PICC lines etc. just to survive. How safe is psilocybin for pregnancy? I’m guessing it’s never been studied due to ethical constraints?
-Cells infested with mold and vermin
-Floors covered with waste and sewage
-Deadly temperatures during extreme weather
This isn't a scene out of a horror movie. It's the real-life conditions that incarcerated people endure every single day.

This is so heartbreaking and infuriating. The police were called on a mom for stealing diapers. They saw her get in her car and drew their weapons. She saw them draw their weapons and held up her one year old baby to show he was in the car and the police shot him?!?
I don’t even have words for this. No it’s not justified not in any way.
The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi attorney general’s office announced https://t.co/YZUVstINEA

Melania pushed for this!
@maiab@SteamboatLion The listing says they bought the lot for under 2 but they must have spent a ton on grading etc. I prefer the Sycamore Park or Scott Valley neighborhoods for walk ability and they tend to be more affordable.
