When I die, tweet my drafts.

@andreafelliott I have a friend in prison who is reading your book. He is an activist and organizer. He is trying to reach you and talk to you about lifers in PA. Can you message DM me so I can help connect you to him?

We already love this family.

They prayed to St. Anthony, the patron saint of travelers, of the oppressed, and of loss--experiences asylum seekers know well.

The TPS designation for Venezuelans is transformational for so many of our newest neighbors.

Judge Wendy Pew's dismissal of murder charges against Mark Dial for killing Eddie Irizarry is an offense to us all.

It is a message that there is no accountability for cops that kill members of the Black and Latinx community.

The streets will have something to say about that.

[Robert Saleem Holbrook @saleemholbrook]

Judge Wendy Pugh comes up for retention in 2026. We're coming for that seat.
Count on that.
Mark your calendars. There will be consequences for this decision at the ballot box.

WILD. Judge Pew is notorious for keeping black and brown folks in jail on way less evidence. I know she was salivating at the chance to show all those cops her allegiance 💦 Someone come gag me with a spoon 🤮 https://t.co/BCbwL6WJ14

We always have money to keep building the mass incarceration business but never money to actually help people with basic needs & out of systems. That’s by choice & design … New report examines how Kentucky fills jails and prisons by criminalizing poverty

Maybe we should stop arresting and over-policing all the poor people. 🤷‍♀️

"It hurts to breathe."

"If this glorious country, that is the US, a land of liberty and opportunities, denies me the chance to stay here, i'll return to my country with my head held high and I shall die with dignity."

You have to listen to this!

Immigrants have built Buffalo, sustained and grown the local and state economy, and infused life throughout.

As the City of Good Neighbors, our communities #choosewelcome!

Since May, our Buffalo community has been welcoming asylum seekers. Our members have stepped up and supported their new neighbors, from donations to providing services and advocacy.

“It really was hard for us to leave our country, but it was necessary in order to save the life of every person in our family,” the father said.

The family primarily speaks Spanish, so Catharine Grainge at @JRCHCBuffaloNY translated the conversation.

come and be the peace that frees me
to let my hands lie gently open awhile,
the grace to just receive.

seek the rest you need, and a little bit
more.

it is a sacred space.

Looking at you, Buffalo.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

If you live outside ATL but have been watching the #StopCopCity fight, reminder that your local govt may be planning to expand the jail in your own county. We have resources to help you push back. Start with our report of q's to ask about jail building:

We are sick with a love for mass policing at the expense of facts, data, reason and other critical health and safety interventions and public goods like education, health care, quality affordable housing, treatment, food security. https://t.co/yrO4kei5QB

I’m so tired of tough on crime sentiment.

[cassie @cassieg___]

Every time someone I know gets arrested, all I can think about is “I get to eat these fries and they are in a cell.” “I get to go home and watch tv, they are stuck in a cell.”

[cassie @cassieg___]

I am always humbled by the will and power of our incarcerated family.

I agree. My mom used to come to court to watch me 🥰🥰🥰

One of the little girls I used to nanny for in law school just followed me on BeReal—her username is her school and the year she graduates (2029) 😧😭
