The Comeback.

She’s 71. She’s dying. She’s in a wheelchair. She has a room waiting in a nursing home. The DOC is ok with her release. She’s been a model prisoner. Oh, and she’s costing the state a ton of money in prison.

Alabama parole board: Parole denied.

So all it took for Kevin McCarthy to become Speaker was to concede massive power to the people who tried to overthrow the US government on the fucking anniversary of the day it happened.

@melanatedreader Razorblade Tears by S.A. Crosby. It’s fantastic.

Remember folks: Kevin McCarthy retroactively supported the coup and refused to help America hold the plotters accountable all so he could experience... today. :)

If you're wondering why cable news generally prefers Republicans in power, I present to you today... an entirely perfunctory meeting turned into must see TV because the GOP insists on electing crazy people.

Prisons are built on the labor of the incarcerated. Already inflated budgets of correctional departments would be exponentially higher if the incarcerated population weren't relied upon to keep prisons operating. Let's dispel some illusions and talk about prison labor. A thread.

i love being in bed. i don’t understand how people don’t get into bed and immediately feel happier. Sometimes I get into bed and that is my activity, just being in bed, because that’s how happy it makes me. I just lay there and think about how I’m in my bed and I’m happy about it

[Doctors For Defunding Police @DrsDefundPolice]

Many of us work with cops everyday (especially in the psych wards) and if we could tell you how many times they actively escalated situations vs. using de-escalation skills it would be unbelievable.

Instead of: no one wants to work anymore. Try: no one wants to be exploited anymore.

Your yearly reminder that Willie Simmons is still in prison for a $9 mugging charged as robbery. This will be his 40th Christmas spent in Alabama's violent, overcrowded prison system & lawmakers have done nothing to create a pathway out of prison for Willie and others like him.

Road made of ice. Buses not running. District courts closing. Superior Court presiding judge… issuing arrest warrants for failure to appear this morning. #SnoCo

Judges can choose to be part of the problem of attorney mental health or part of the solution. Arbitrarily denying well-founded continuances/motions for extension does not make you rigorous or serious, it makes you unkind. 1/
