Don't understand why you spoke negatively of the 16 yr old young man who went into action to defend an Elder. You said he didn't do anything and didn't deserve any contributions yet there are several videos showing him serving up sauce all over the place.
The next shutdown has to be the last shutdown. We have to start preparing, educating and organizing for this. This shutdown has to last until the demands are met. This has to be understood going in.
These conversations need to start taking place right now.
@kamaufranklin Hi! I normally don’t post things like this but me and my fiancé need HELP. We were unlawfully searched and arrested and treated very inhumanely in #claytoncountyjail. Anything helps, even if it’s just a RETWEET to land this in the right hands. Thank you! https://t.co/hDwkuF50u2
You can't reform this - 6 Cops Plead Guilty in Assault on 2 Black Men in Mississippi The two men were handcuffed, beaten & tasered. One was shot in the mouth during a “mock execution,” and a sex toy was forced into the other man’s mouth. https://t.co/pwW2EBmZ3v
The last week of July, Alabama's parole board denied release to 97% of people eligible for parole whose cases came before them. They granted just 3 paroles out of 92 cases considered. The parole board should be dissolved. Put a closed sign on the building. It's a sham.
Incarceration should not mean not being able to financially provide for yourself & your family. Correctional systems are a multi billion dollar business & people should be paid a living wage for their work & it’s also an important part of rehabilitation.
Too many brothers behind the wall turning Black August into a holiday and revolutionary into theory instead of practice. No new ideas and very little action. But all the posters, all the signs, quoting all the revolutionaries and posting all the quote. But . . . no action.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Was told by secure source that this man has been targeted by @alabama Dept of corrections and State leadership for exposing the cruelty in the prison system. He has been beaten severely by ADOC officers and is in infirmary with extreme damages. RT!!

Update:
1/ The Tweet about the officer involved beaten and death of Mr. Murray at Elmore was deleted in light of the fact that Mr. Murray was beaten by officers before he ever came into contact with the two incarcerated individuals that are also charged in the homicide.
What I've heard from Alabama prisons this week: homeless men sleep on prison sidewalk, a man is kidnapped/held hostage/burned inside a prison & an officer is charged with murder after man is beaten to death at end of 20-year sentence. But we just need bigger buildings right?
@DavidLeegarlock @AggravatingCir1 With the amount we are overcrowded in our prisons the new ones won’t make a dent in it. If the DOJ would step in and follow through with the ongoing lawsuit it might make a difference but Alabama has proven they don’t care what the feds say.
@AggravatingCir1 There is NO rationalizing what these three people are doing. This is a complete and utter disgrace. They are doing the exact opposite of what they say they do on their website. Where does the abuse, neglect, and torture end? Give these men their hope back and do your job.
GOOD LORD, WHEN IS THIS INHUMANE TREATMENT GOING TO STOP?
I TELL YOU WHAT, SHOW ME THERE JUDGMENT AND SENTENCING PAPERWORK, AND IF IT SAYS IT IN THERE,
ILL SHUT THE HE!! UP.
LETS GO!!!! 🤬
We have to find someone to hold the parole board accountable and I feel like the only way to do that is to effect their pocket book. Make them do their job or get the hell out.
Advocates, reporters, and families have to come together and hold not only our parole board accountable but also our governor and everyone else in power that refuses to address the unjustness of our corrupt parole board. SO ETHING HAS TO BE DONE NOW. Time is running out for many
