Hey! With the assistance of a volunteer interpreter who helped her prepare and a pro bono lawyer at @aldea_pjc one of these ladies was granted asylum today! So happy for her and looking forward to welcoming her to the U.S. properly! Great job @alyssackane, volunteers and team!

After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel 😩

Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality.

Arsenic found in the water at the Riis houses in NYC. The water is undrinkable in Flint after 8 years. 180,000 people without water in Jackson, MS. The water in O’ahu is poisoned by jet fuel. But the media is focused on shoplifting. We need environmental justice & we need it now.

Migrants who try to go to the Eagle Pass port of entry and seek asylum have been completely turned away since March 2020, and largely turned away since April 2018. With the ports of entry shut except in limited circumstances, desperate people feel like they have no other options.

You know how some places are drying up? Where do you think all that water's going? Well, other places are flooding. Earth is out of balance, it's irreversible, it's getting worse, and it's caused by the fossil fuel industry (~80%) and the animal ag industry (~15%). #EmergencyMode

We need to decriminalize cell phones in prison. I used my cell phone in prison to raise my daughter and document the human rights abuses I experienced at San Quentin. Family connections help people return home safely, not isolation.

Journalists, PLEASE let everyone know that climate damage is irreversible, caused by fossil fuels, the fossil fuel industry systematically lies and bribes, and this is still just the very beginning of the emergency which has the potential to bring down civilization as we know it

Did you know that 11 million people in the US have no driver’s license solely because they owe court debts?

THREAD. What's happening in Atlanta today should be national news. Under the guise of "humanitarian" intervention, the local Democratic Mayor, reversing his own attempts to close horrific local jail, is attempting to make cash by "leasing" out jail to cage more people for $$$.

Truth to Power. The disparate treatment is blinding, grateful to all of you!

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

One of my favorite studies showed that you could significantly drop failure-to-appear rates in misdemeanor courts just by redesigning the summons form to highlight the court date and texting people reminders. Sometimes it is just the little things.

As fascism rises + reproductive health is criminalized, Democrats are pondering greatest expansion of police power in a generation. A lot of hacks are back in the news saying more cops reduces crime. I read every pro-cop study they cite and wrote about it: https://t.co/mpTzNFnfVJ

The USA "renewed" (= forcibly privatized) Puerto Rico's electric grid (in order to launder federal hurricane reconstruction funds), and now this stuff happens regularly:

For every teenage girl jailed for an abortion, there's a new special police unit in her town devoted to surveilling her body, a social media company working with the cops to betray her, and a Democratic President promising to send 100,000 more armed cops to come for her friends.

WATCH: Dangerous and deadly conditions make it impossible for Black Mauritanians to return to their home country safely. The Biden Administration must designate #TPS4Mauritania to save lives and keep families & communities together. #DefendBlackImmigrants https://t.co/b907WNlBKI

No element of the bureaucracy that destroyed Cindy's life was about "safety." Across the U.S. cops spend only 4% of their time on what they call "violent crime." About 90% of people DAs choose to charge are poor, mostly low level. They ignore rampant serious crime by the wealthy.
