Alabama prison officials just confirmed to me that prisoners at all major facilities are striking by refusing to work.

Prisoners offered several reasons including the “humanitarian crisis” inside.

And in case you forget: DOJ is already investigating AL’s prisons.

@wnpr @wherewelive Maybe he doesn't, but incarcerated people & their families care.

@wnpr @wherewelive You should ask the Governor why he's refused to come up with a plan to slow the spread of COVID-19 in state jails & prisons. Congregate care settings are incubators for the virus, & over 90% of ppl in the DOC have tested positive for it since 2020.

Does he not care about them?

@holyqueerit I have MS and totally agree with all of the above - the ableism, both blatant and subtle, the stories I’ve heard of men leaving their partners with MS…ugh

This case will test whether Dave Ramsey’s anti-Covid-precaution stance was truly ever about faith.

Narrator: It was not. https://t.co/gbscUsprR4

BREAKING: Liberty University, founded by Jerry Falwell, threatened to punish students who reported being raped.

An official told us he was just fired for raising concerns. He called it “conspiracy of silence.”

A lot of you learned to use person-first language when it comes to disability — “my son with autism” rather than “my autistic son” — because that word order puts the person first. We need to see the person before the disability, they said.

This is ableist reasoning.

@pjrthree I deal with the sugar fallout, folks

Friend: no- we were all shocked.
(Conversation goes on)

Me:……….
Friend: and they did have to ask him not to be so friendly/flirty
Me:……….

Happy bi+ visibility day! I suspected that I wasn’t straight starting in fourth grade, went through a denial period during The Evangelical Years™️, and now am comfortable being bi. My spouse is non-binary (or gender non-conforming) and uses they/them pronouns.

We're all bemoaning the celebrity Christian culture that led to the Ravi Zacharias & Carl Lentz (& so many more) sex & sexual abuse scandals.

But what if the problem is not just--or even mostly--celebrity culture?

What if it's the evangelical view of sex?

A thread.
