It’s going to be 118° in Calipatria State Prison in Southern California tomorrow. Whenever you discuss climate change or climate justice, please do not exclude one of the most vulnerable groups of ppl in that conversation.

I tried to talk to my therapist about my anxiety around sending freelance story pitches and most of the 45 minutes was spent on her genuinely unable to believe that’s how this industry works.

Though prison is part of your past, wherever you go as someone formerly incarcerated, the unforgiving social stigma will follow. I was at the dentist this morning & they asked “where did you get your previous work done?” I wish I could say “prison” and still feel safe afterwards.

@__9_1_6__ This seems to be based on the concept of good and bad people without the consideration of survival, there is no even leveled playing field for personal success in America. It's like starting a race but your @400yrs behind just trying to start,.

I’ve beat up people I should’ve forgave.
At my age I’m humbled to recognize the difference

In Biden's first 100 days, we've gone from despair and darkness to hope and progress.

And together, if we keep fighting, we can do even more to deliver on the promise of America.

@robreiner Have to add Al Franken was the only senator to ask the real questions during the second congressional hearings in solitary confinement. Unlike Ted Cruz

Ending the use of long-term solitary confinement in prisons and jails in New York became law last night. This reflects a decade’s worth of advocacy by so many brilliant people who never gave up and put their all into this epic fight against torture. https://t.co/wm9a9OfmV6

[Daniela Sabogal @danielasabogal_]

By passing #HALTsolitary, @NYSenate & @NYSA_Majority followed the will of the people and said NO to torture! @NYGovCuomo: Do the same by signing HALT into law immediately. Far too many lives have been destroyed, primarily those of Black and Brown New Yorkers. No more!

“We are here to pass the Humane Alternatives to Long-Term Solitary Confinement Act,” says lead Assembly sponsor Jeff Aubry. “The first time this came up in the courts was in 1890 in Texas, when a judge found solitary mentally & physically debilitating.”

It’s time for a change.
