Choosing violence: Amazing how many nonprofit Executive Directors build entire careers pretending to “fight private prisons” while cashing checks, hosting cliquish conferences and retreat-style vacations, making over $300K a year, collecting speaking fees and book deals, and doing press events where they perform outrage…all while surrounding themselves with formerly incarcerated people who have no idea they’re being exploited.
Grift disguised as justice.
"A coalition of activists & nonprofit organizations have been using public records & word of mouth to identify people whose rights were restored, traversing the state to tell those people they have the right to vote and to encourage them to exercise it" https://t.co/bf5jG4OJjW
As Ga. Republicans try to invoke a new law to sanction/suspend/remove DA Fani Willis for indicting 19 people including Trump, they should be forced to confront the question of what crime is more serious in this country than trying to steal an election.
Maryland received one of the worst grades - F. We need a functional geriatric & medical parole statute and a mechanism to get back into court for sentence modification for our elders who have paid their debt and are no threat to public safety.
To those who claim that something Trump threatens should not be taken literally, I say consider his threat of Presidential dictatorship to be one of his fiercest and most genuine intentions, if elected in 2024.
Lincoln Mercury Corporate - THE WORST!!!!! Ditto for Capital Lincoln in Cary NC - Complaint filed with AG - hate to use Twitter to air complaints, but ....-
"They know I'm a victim of domestic violence. That's not what they're interested in." @theetracyrenee on why training police isn't going to decrease criminalizing survivors and why we need to invest in communities instead. https://t.co/L7KprwbVz2
This is what our “Justice” system does on a regular basis.
What sense does it make to lock somebody up if they are behind in paying fees and fines???
Somebody, please make it make sense!!!!!
The decision by #HonFest to reject @PPMaryland from participating in this years festival, free and clear of censorship, is indefensible and must be disallowed. For over a decade, as an elected, I have supported the festival and the work PP has done. We must resolve this ASAP.
Here’s what @CNN did tonight: they produced a global television event for an unhinged pathological liar in front of an audience of sycophants and called it “news.” It was an abomination.
There is simply no way CNN can feign ignorance about the fact that they set up a sexual assault victim to be targeted and attacked on national television a day after the verdict.
People were sounding the alarm about this exact scenario. They let it happen anyway without a plan.
CNN should be ashamed of themselves.
They have lost total control of this “town hall” to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim.
The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.
We don’t actually need more officers. We need fewer people in prison. That’s going to require the political courage to get serious about back-end reforms to reduce mass incarceration in Maryland.
