Weekly truth drop about the criminal legal system. Today we're talking about how probation and parole are not solving mass incarceration, they are driving it.

[Zach Drake @ZachDrakeTweets]

RICO laws are hella abused by prosecutors.

[Carissa Byrne Hessick @CBHessick]

I once saw a woman who was convicted of conspiracy to distribute drugs and sentenced to 5 years in prison because she took a phone message for her drug dealing boyfriend.
Conspiracy law sucks.

This is a Muslim progressive congressional representative defending the religious expression of a Christian Trump campaigner.

Stop letting media pundits tell you we are at war with each other. We aren't.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

No! Stating the core beliefs or principles of your faith isn’t bigoted as Lizzie did, its religious freedom and no one should be scolded for that.

It’s also wrong to speak about religious freedom while simultaneously harassing people who freely express their beliefs.

[Thomas Abt @Abt_Thomas]

I also don't like "cultural" explanations because they can be subtly (or not so subtly) racist, saying that crime and violence disproportionately impact poor Black communities "because that's just how they are."

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

Actually, one of the guys behind "Russia-gate" (the Steele Dossier) Charles McGonigal just pleaded guilty to charges from the DOJ under Biden.

Try to keep up, traitor.

[Zach Drake @ZachDrakeTweets]

Kinda love watching an entire political party come face to face with how broad of a charge RICO can be and why it may be a little too broad sometimes....

[Zach Drake @ZachDrakeTweets]

Trump went from a joke in multiple movies and TV shows to people's damn idol and idk this is gonna be in some alien kids textbook one day when learning about how the humans destroyed themselves.

[Patton Oswalt @pattonoswalt]

I liked his earlier, funnier indictments.

[Zach Drake @ZachDrakeTweets]

2020 was like.... Such a wild year y'all. Every month it's like "here's more info about this shit that went down in 2020" and like at some point we just gotta ask if 2020 was like... idk... real?

[Zach Drake @ZachDrakeTweets]

@robertlufkinmd Kellogg also was convinced masterbation caused a ton of ailments... his advice is less than worthless.

College sports in America are, like, super socialist and it's hilarious how many people don't see that. You have the logo of a government agency tattooed on your arm, sir.

Y'all got me retweeting Gavin Newsom now and I'm mad about it. But damn this is whack.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Florida’s latest curriculum—featuring cartoon Christopher Columbus explaining, “being taken as a slave is better than being killed!” and telling time-traveling kids that slavery was “no big deal.”

This is the kind of propaganda DeSantis and his friends at PragerU are teaching our children.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Q - Trump’s legal team says all he did was ask you to delay the proceedings.

Pence - “That’s not what happened.”

[Zach Drake @ZachDrakeTweets]

They literally cited the Jan 6 incident as reasoning to question US stability in the rating report.... Remind me again who stoked that?

[Republicans @Republicans]

For just the second time ever, the United States has been stripped of its top credit rating.

Yesterday, Fitch Ratings — one of the world’s major credit rating firms — downgraded the U.S. credit rating to AA+ from AAA, a rating the nation had held since at least 1994.

The downgrade comes just months after Biden and congressional Democrats took the country to the brink of default and amid an increasingly unsteady economic path. Meanwhile, government spending under Biden continues at an breakneck pace in the shadow of a high national debt and rapidly rising federal deficit.

Of course, “reimagining” the U.S. economy is entirely the point under “Bidenomics.”

As the Biden administration predictably blames the previous administration for its own problems, one thing is certain: it’s the American consumer who will bear the brunt of the fallout from Biden’s economic mismanagement.

Who was even still buying incandescents??? Do people enjoy changing lightbulbs frequently and paying more for power?

[The Hill @thehill]

Starting next week, Americans will only be able to purchase LED lights from retailers across the nation as an official ban on incandescent lightbulbs will go into effect. https://t.co/iYUHCivy4I
