throughout the course of last year i spoke to folks living with convictions and heard how the has pandemic disproportionately them. i'm very excited that i can share their stories with you through an audio series.

it's time we automatically expunged all records.

[Code for America @codeforamerica]

Living with a #criminalrecord carries thousands of “collateral consequences,” which means doing anything is harder.

The pandemic has only worsened these consequences for the 1 in 3 Americans who has some type of criminal record.

Our new audio series explores the impact. ▶️

A lot of well-meaning people look down on those brainwashed by Fox News but are unable to see how New York Times and other for-profit media does similar things to them. The mythologies differ, but they are just as ideological, and their role is to preserve structural inequality.

[Misha @SteierMisha]

This year Mayor London Beed will appoint 3 school board members, a city attorney, a supervisor, and a district attorney. She cut her office of housing budget by 20%

What happens now has to be on the Mayor.

No more passing the buck. We can't afford anymore of these distractions

There is so much organizing that needs to be done in San Francisco and none of it depends on who is in office.

People are doing stuff, join up with them.

Abolition Now.

[Lee Hepner @LeeHepner]

This is a jaw-dropping data point:

“SFPD continues to arrest a number of Black people equal to the entire Black population of the city every 87 months.”

[aditi joshi @aditisjoshi]

maybe the underlying reason for “mental health” is the trauma of living in a world of racialized capitalism.

[aditi joshi @aditisjoshi]

all research without organizing is extractive. do the work and “research” is inevitable. you’ll know a community when you make a commitment to that community.

1. There’s been a media reckoning of the Uvalde PD, but only bc the horrors of that case led to natl scrutiny.

But copaganda goes on unquestioned.

Here’s a line-by-line breakdown of a routine example from yesterday by @SamBaderNews @CameronKiszla @KTLA https://t.co/LznoQtOBC5

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

For every cop standing in a hallway next to a classroom doing nothing during a massacre, there are 3 cops tackling parents outside school, 9 cops lying about what the other cops are doing, and 27 cops spying on gun control activists to prevent social change. "Exponential growth."

[aditi joshi @aditisjoshi]

sfpd killed two people last week. their names are: michael macfhionghain and rafael mendoza.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Kinda nuts that the Met Gal theme is the gilded age and behind the scenes Conde Nast workers are putting in unpaid overtime to make the event happen while they still haven't gotten union recognition. It's a little on the nose.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Here's a fun game. It's called Karl Marx or the Bible. It's simple. There's a few quotes and you have to figure out if they come from Marx or the Bible. 🧵

[aditi joshi @aditisjoshi]

come hear about data and the criminal legal system!

“Dacari’s past does not open him up to abuse”

Seems like the system is always prosecuting Black men even when they’re not on trial.

Abolish policing & prisons.‼️

[CFA Workers United @CfAWorkers]

We are beyond excited for our fellow civic tech workers @Nava_United! ✊🎉 Together we will raise the bar for our industry to sustainably serve the most vulnerable.

[aditi joshi @aditisjoshi]

i was beyond lucky to learn from all the incredible folks who work at @DesignStudioPHL. read more about my work there!

[PHL Service Design Studio @DesignStudioPHL]

There are many colleagues who helped lay the groundwork for our team. Without their advocacy & insight, we wouldn’t be where we are now.

One of those colleagues is @aditisjoshi — who was a service design fellow in 2018.

Enjoy our conversation. 🥳

Interviewed and hired on the spot, offered $20 an hour contingent on a background check. I disclose, they rescind. This makes the 24th rejection. Someday this will stop. There is not an employee shortage there is a second chance shortage. #hireus
