Robert Roberson is scheduled to be excuted 10/17 for his daughter’s death - she died from falling off a bed but hospital and law enforcement staff assumed it was due to the - now discredited - “shaken baby syndrome.” https://t.co/FvkA0eHKPL

ICYMI: 📉 What’s AB 2178?
📉 According to the LAO, by 2028, the State could have nearly 19,000 empty prison beds, about one-fifth of the state’s total prison capacity. Assemblymember Ting (D) has introduced a bill aimed at ensuring state prisons do not maintain this excessive empty bed capacity at taxpayer expense.
As a cyclist and public health researcher who's studied the impacts of law enforcement harassment, I strongly support #SB50.
Tell your Assembly member to protect bike riders from pretextual traffic stops here: https://t.co/CewQ9l3xUE @CalBike
@Steve_Glazer As a researcher studying the health impacts of policing, and an avid cyclist, I ask you please Vote YES on SB 50. Protect BIPOC Californians from biased traffic stops. @CalBike
@AsmMiaBonta AB 73 is a commonsense measure to allow people on bikes to treat stop signs as yields and proceed if it’s safe. This billl helps promote active transportation to curtail reliance on fossil fuels. Will you commit to supporting this crucial bill? #BicycleSafetyStop
@AsmMiaBonta. as a public health researcher who has studied the impacts of police violence and as your constituent, I urge you to vote YES on AB 93 (Bryan). Protect Californians from “consent” traffic stop searches that aren’t consensual. @CalBike
Real safety means accessible, pedestrian-friendly roads & sidewalks — not racist police stops! Sign the petition today to tell Oakland’s mayor & city council to redirect $20 million from the police to the dept of transportation in the next two-year budget: https://t.co/s6HJYv5q0S
@thearani Oof, I’m sorry that’s the case. I don’t know if it’s teaching-related, but I can definitely emphasize if so (did that for a few years a couple years ago).
@momoissleeping@Theholisticpsyc Yes, I grew up with the same background and remember being told that if I obeyed my parents God would protect me. If I disobeyed I was stepping out from their “umbrella of protection.”
California makes history again: @GavinNewsom just signed the Racial Justice Act for All #AB256!! Thank you community for the years of support that brought this moment. Our healing will leave no one behind!
And thank you team @Ash_Kalra!!!
Yaaay @CAgovernor@GavinNewsom signed #AB2761 today! I’m grateful for all the community support the bill received and that we will have a needed tool to hold carceral facilities accountable for lives lost inside.
Three more days for @CAGovernor@GavinNewsom to work through the remaining bills on his desk! One of those bills is #SB1371. #SB1371 would raise the pay scale for folks inside. Most incarcerated people who work inside prisons make between .30 cents and $1.30 an hour. (1/3)
Andrea Armstrong, Prof. at Loyola, "For me, when I think about death in custody, they are often the tip of the iceberg. Where you have higher rates of death and where you see particular patterns in the types of deaths, that may signal larger problems at the facility as a whole."
@CAgovernor@GavinNewsom Undercounting of deaths in custody is a national problem. We have an opportunity to lead the nation by ensuring accurate and timely reporting of deaths to the public. Please sign #AB2761 today! https://t.co/YO1yTk8oDC
