NEW: The family of the teen gunman who murdered a teacher and student in a St. Louis school had recently called police and asked them to take his AR-15. There's no Red Flag Law in Missouri, so police gave the gun to a third-party, but the teen got it back. https://t.co/7YPtnbgw95

Justice Sonia Sotomayor did a talk in Chicago tonight hosted by Roosevelt University. She was asked how she maintains relationships with judges she disagrees with — Clarence Thomas, in particular. Here’s what she said:

The @splcenter says there are nearly 2,000 Alabamians convicted of marijuana possession every year. It is is the fourth most frequent felony conviction statewide.

In 2016, Alabama spent $22 million on the enforcement of its marijuana possession laws. 🪴

Alan Eugene Miller elected to be executed by nitrogen hypoxia. Alabama insisted on lethal injection, instead. The state then botched yet another execution and cruelly left Miller’s family in the dark. Great reporting by ⁦@ebruenig. https://t.co/9akqNKiimV

An inmate spoke to me on a prison sanctioned phone to provide context from inside #LimestoneCorrectionalFacility on the strike last night.
According to his family, ADOC is now charging him w/ encouraging the strike + unauthorized contact w/ social media.

This is not the first time ADOC has punished inmates for telling the media about prison conditions. (Right @itsmelissabrown?). Knock that crap off.

LOL. Total freedom... except, you know, for whether you want to have kids... or marry the person you love... or get your kid the medical treatment necessary... or use the plant-based drug to treat your medical conditions. Otherwise, spot on.

As Alabama fights in court to execute another prisoner tonight, here is your reminder the state has an almost certainly innocent man on death row and state officials are fine with killing him. https://t.co/T4xhvpri7i

“Things I would never put up with in my personal life, I put up with in the prison because of my clients,” Lisa Borden, a practicing attorney since the late '80s, says of prison dress codes. “If you make too big of a fuss about it, you’re not getting in.”https://t.co/ghOyvOsmgw

Here’s a 🧵w/some of the cool things my friends are doing with their freedom

How about instead of saying “she shouldn’t have been jogging at 4:30 in the morning”…we say that no one should be fearful of being abducted or killed on a run. She did nothing wrong. #bebetter #ElizaFletcher

Is this what they think women over 45 look like???

[Joshua B. Hoe @JoshuaBHoe]

When people do their time and come back having addressed their issues...WHY WOULDN'T YOU HIRE THEM?

What would prefer, making people never feel welcome in the community again? Radically desperate?

How does that make the community safer?

In my Alabama public school district, we were 3 weeks into the school year before my child got her first textbooks. So when I say policymakers have more important things to worry about than policing which bathroom trans children use, I mean it.
