🧵We've pulled together some of the false claims about crime and incarceration you're most likely to hear at the Thanksgiving dinner table, and the data and facts to help you push back:

@DCPoliceDept My 4 yo daughter attends a pre-k co-located at a high school that received a threat. She and her 3,4&5 yo classmates had to evacuate. It was very emotional to hear. And still, I do NOT at all agree w charging a child in connection w this prank, let alone charging so seriously

Sophie Wang (@freeradsorg) and Shakeer Rahman (@stoplapdspying ) came thru to discuss The Algorithmic Ecology and unsettle our assumptions about predictive policing by showing how PredPol produces new forms of enclosure around Skid Row

Anti-Asian racism isn’t un-American—it’s quintessentially American. You can’t kill millions of Asians across the Pacific for a whole ass century in the name of America and then out of nowhere say that anti-Asian racism is un-American. That’s just lying.

@dereckapurnell I love how books can be time capsules in this way. When I’m reading I put leaves flowers receipts postcards photos little momentos of season time place in between the pages of the book .

I am the daughter of a taxi driver. Due to our inability to pay our taxi medallion loan, my father had to file for bankruptcy. This past Friday, the bankruptcy court put a “For Sale” sign on our house. There is already an offer on our home, and the trustees are ready to sell.

@Zipcar and it’s winter, 35 degrees out.

[Lisa Sangoi @lks221]

@Zipcar our car breaks down in parking lot, you refuse to refund our trip and say the compensation is extending car for free while we wait for your repair people?!

[Lisa Sangoi @lks221]

@Zipcar this is on top of asking me to wait in parking lot for your repair people to fix your car. I don’t work for you, what’s the point of me waiting? I have a cart full of groceries and a toddler in tow. And we are in the middle of a pandemic.

I guess we've moved on from Sharia law.

‘Black Families Matter’ march speaks out against Child Protective Services/ACS - They are not who you think they are and they don’t do what you think they do! They s/b called FDS (Family Destruction System) #KeepFamiliesIntact https://t.co/TnFtvVlWvn

Tonight my 5 y/o daughter will wake up crying for her mama from a nightmare. I won't be there, b/c #FloridaDCF decided so. Tomorrow, like every day she will tell me by phone how she cried and I wasn't there. If you think that's wrong, sign my petition: https://t.co/F76pU0Gy6v

For Black lives to matter, Black families must also matter. For close to 3 months, @IllinoisDCFS has kept over 11,000 parents, children, and siblings apart, many of whom are Black. This is unacceptable. #LiftTheBanIL
