“Increasingly, it is not safe to be in public, to be human, to be fallible,” @rgay writes. “All across the country, supposedly good, upstanding citizens are often fatally enforcing ever-changing, arbitrary and personal norms for how we conduct ourselves.” https://t.co/hd3aKUiJds
Three Native mushers currently leading the way to Nome in Iditarod really underscores where this sport and tradition came from--and how it continues to move forward.
Also, Ryan Redington came close this year to the route record set in 2011 by John Baker, another Inupiat musher.
Ryan Redington is set to be the first Inupiaq Iditarod champion since 2011. The second- and third-place finishers are also Alaska Natives. To celebrate this, we want to remind all our lovely donors that we have three Indigenous-focused projects listed on https://t.co/p8T7aUWRWz:
TODAY - 200+ people outside AND inside State House telling @MassGovernor and @MassLegislature unequivocally: No New Womens prison ever. Release women. Resource communities! We’re creating what different looks like & can make MA a model! #NoNewWomensPrison#ReimaginingCommunities
On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might've seen images of the flames, but you probably haven't heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵
We built a historic movement to pass the Prison Moratorium - then Gov Baker vetoed it.
But ain’t no power like the power of the people cuz the power of the people don’t stop!
See you this Thurs Feb 9 at 3pm for an afternoon of action at the State House https://t.co/tqYc00xmNG

There is no “reforming” of the police that will save our lives. What we are seeing is the result of their reform. The institution has reformed its tactics through indictments and guilty verdicts meant to suppress dissent while keeping the system as a whole intact. Abolition now.
Mapping the web of interests that make up the prison industrial complex is critical to understanding its reach and to fight back. Learn more by checking out the "Mapping the PIC" resource by @micahinATL, which features Atlanta as an example: https://t.co/SLZNG79ioi
We ask those who can afford it to make a contribution to help us fight these charges in Atlanta. What happens with the "domestic terrorism" cases here will have legal implications for the whole nation. None of us can afford to let this go unchallenged. https://t.co/hqE7O1vYkg
We now have 450+ people signed on to our open letter to national social work organizations to support abolitionist inquiry, scholarship, and praxis, and to speak out against the removal of @AlanDettlaff from his dean position. Please keep sharing/signing! https://t.co/MThyVqDknz
In Uvalde the cops tackled parents trying to save their kids. In Colorado Springs they tackled the man who stopped the shooter. You can’t convince me cops actually want to protect and serve their communities.
I was born and raised in Colorado Springs, and can tell you without a doubt that today's shooting in Colorado Springs was preventable, and is the direct fault of:
1.) far right media
2.) evangelical churches
3.) the Colorado Springs Police

A new Governor has been elected in MA.
As the 1st woman elected to this seat we hope @maura_healey listens to incarcerated & formerly incarcerated women. We’re calling for clemency for aging & sick women who have served decades. & still standing against the new women’s prison!
You can't make this up. The Department of Education estimates it will cost $99,900,900 to operate the application for student debt cancelation. They would literally rather spend $100M on means-testing than just canceling the debt automatically.
