This is horrific. It’s torture to punish “undesirable” behavior primarily being inflicted on POC. It has been condemned by the UN but is still happening in the US. Pls read the thread and spread the word. #StopTheShock
Courts are closed tomorrow for Juneteenth. My incarcerated clients, all of whom are black men, will remain in jail to celebrate the emancipation of slaves. This is America.

I just heard of a Black young man from East New York Brooklyn , he got 40 years for shooting into the air (to stop a fight) . FOURTY YEARS!!!!!!! No one was injured or shot. He’s still in prison fighting an appeal to this day, 8 years in.

I was really upset that homeless people did not have access to the $1,400 stimulus check.

Retweet.!
If you’re craving Girl Scout Cookies this year, make sure you order from Troop 6000, a special troop made for girls who are experiencing homelessness in NYC!
