NEWS: In his final hours in office, NC Gov. Roy Cooper has commuted the sentences of 15 death row inmates. Those inmates will serve life without parole. There remain 121 inmates on death row, including 74 with outstanding clemency petitions. #ncpol

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Just a reminder that Native Americans are not a historical people, that we are still here, and that the biggest injustice in U.S. history—the dispossession of land from Indigenous nations largely by fraudulent treaties—remains ongoing

Our Department has approved North Carolina’s request for the first $100M in emergency funding to help restore transportation in the aftermath of Helene.

Further support will follow as the administration works with states and communities at every step along the path to recovery.

Every editorial board must do the same. Bravo, Charlotte Observer. This is how it’s done.

Since Hurricane Helene made landfall, there have been false claims and misinformation regarding the federal assistance available to survivors, from former President Trump, Congressional Republicans, and others.

These claims are not true. 🧵

[Moriah Sharpe @moriahtsharpe]

My heart goes out to everyone affected by Hurricane Helene. It is devastating to see how Helene has rendered places I love unrecognizable, but heartening to see the outpouring of support WNC has received. My thoughts and prayers are with WNC as they recover and rebuild. /end

A few weeks ago, I was in Greenville, SC for the annual meeting of the Southern Criminal Justice Association. I loved my time at the conference and in Greenville, and other places in the western Carolinas like Asheville and Black Mountain also hold a special place in my heart. /2

People who keep saying that Appalachia should’ve been prepared for this really know nothing about the area or weather. This wasn’t a “once in a lifetime” thing. This was a “this has never happened since Noah” kind of thing. It’s one thing to live below sea level and have this happen, it’s a whole other to literally live in the mountains and have your home wash away or have water covering your house. People had less than a days warning of how bad it might be and nothing said it would be this bad. On the coast people know a week ahead what will likely happen because it happens all the time. It’s not the same.

Didn’t realize how many folks have no idea where Asheville and these other underwater towns are.

I’m in Raleigh- 2hrs inland. Asheville is 4hrs west of me, up in the blue ridge mountains. It was unthinkable that a hurricane could wipe out towns this far inland & high up.

It’s 12:01 am. Ballots are in the inboxes of thousands of North Carolinians overseas and in the military. Voting is officially underway #ncpol @wsoctv

[Moriah Sharpe @moriahtsharpe]

@faithhh_anne congratulations, Dr. Heeren!!

“If North Carolina prioritized reentry assistance when I left prison in 2000, it is likely I wouldn’t be serving a life sentence today,” writes Phillip Vance Smith II.

24 years later, a new initiative aims to ensure others don’t face similar challenges. https://t.co/gWh0VFrWuk

Reminder to lawmakers across the US wishing the LGBTQ+ community a Happy Pride Month: Lesbian, gay, & bisexual people are 2.25x more likely to be arrested than straight individuals.

It’s time to stop the criminalization of LGBTQ+ people.

Loved taking my first trip to the west coast for ASEBP 2024! It was so exciting to meet other academics and practitioners invested in advancing policing through evidence-based methods!

[CMPD Chief @cmpdchief]

Thank you to @POTUS for stopping in to meet with our officers and families of fallen officers today. I have been so overwhelmed by the outpouring of support this entire week. It has been one of the toughest weeks for all of @CMPD, but to know that we have the support of our country all the way up to the highest office means so much. I had the chance to talk more with three of our injured officers and I cannot be more grateful for their heroic actions taken during the tragic event on Monday. As we continue to heal, I ask that you keep the men and women of CMPD in your prayers.
