People ask me a lot about how we celebrated holiday in prison. Needless to say, it’s not very festive. But here’s a thread about jailhouse holiday cooking and small miracles behind bars.
The CBC and notable allies have all signed a letter addressed to @NancyPelosi & @SenSchumer in support of @RepMaxineWaters.
The one major name missing is my own sen @SenKamalaHarris
