Important parallels with places like Memphis. Memphis’ downtown jail conditions were found unconstitutional in 1976 and 1989. But these court decisions were repeatedly used to “modernize” jail facilities, contributing to an “endless cycle of jail reform and expansion.”
I wrote about the interplay between federal jail investigations and jail resistance for @MLK50Memphis back in August, if you wanna know more. Solidarity with the folks fighting to decarcerate Atlanta—as always. https://t.co/HmbJEq0R6N

Biden administration had four years to upgrade indoor air quality, educate the public about CO2 levels, standardize HEPA filtration, normalize wearing masks.
Instead they normalized COVID, allowed h5n1 to spread , and now they hand a loaded gun back to Trump
Dissent is a fundamental part of democracy. Emboldened by the possibility of an unchallenged campaign of retaliation and persecution, Republicans are bringing H.R. 9495 to the floor AGAIN to give Trump the power to brand any organization that opposes him or his administration as a "terrorist." I voted no once, and I will be voting NO again!
A lot of orgs put out statements but I looked at United Farm Workers, a union of immigrant workers.
They didn’t make a statement. They just showed workers coming to work every single day. You can donate here: https://t.co/IcqmQcL7OL

and the phone providers do not make this same promise
bell hooks: "We have to constantly critique imperialist white supremacist patriarchal culture because it is normalized by mass media and rendered unproblematic.”
Let’s just say that you’re correct and mass deportation “frees up” homes to ease demand.
Who do you think is going to jump in & buy those homes? Americans with a 7% interest rate in a tanking economy OR corporations/hedge funds/REITs?
You can’t fix this level of stupidity.
