Anticipate heightened targeting of Palestinian and Muslim community members by the FBI in the coming weeks.

Israel and Gaza are not two countries at war. Gaza is a territory under siege, where every aspect of life is controlled by Israel.

Palestinians didn’t break through a “border” to enter Israel. They destroyed a fence separating them from the homes they were forced out of.

Sheldon Thomas spent 19 years in prison wrongfully convicted of murder after cops knowingly used a photo of a different Black man (with the same name) in a photo array and a witness identified him. His judge, then an appeal court, said it didn't matter because they looked alike.

She’s 71. She’s dying. She’s in a wheelchair. She has a room waiting in a nursing home. The DOC is ok with her release. She’s been a model prisoner. Oh, and she’s costing the state a ton of money in prison.

Alabama parole board: Parole denied.

My sister was transferred to a prison work farm in VA, where she'll serve out her sentence.

It's one of the nicer prisons in the state. Still, she'll be required to labor 8 hrs/day for $0.45/hr.

If you urgently need a meal, there's no emergency number to call. But if you steal food, there's a 24 hour response so you can be punished for it (it's not a crime prevented by force, just by food). How we design our emergency responses reflects our values but also inertia.

there is literally no justice in this system.

Here is a statement from the family of Faith Hall on the execution of Joe Nathan James, Jr. You can read my extensive interview with the family here: https://t.co/1GlUmHzhia

[Catholic Mobilizing Network @CMNEndtheDP]

Just one week away from his scheduled execution, Joe Nathan James is pleading for his life.

At this time, Joe doesn't have legal representation. His most recent appeal is a hand-written note from execution watch, which he said he has been on since June 8.

If banning abortion "stops abortions," let's ban guns and stop gun violence.

Legislators responded to the 2018 Parkland school shooting by hiring police officers in every elementary, middle and high school in Florida. It didn’t make students safer. Instead, it led to this: https://t.co/ew9NxbWfBe

Y’all. Colombia just elected its first Black vice president, Francia Márquez. She ran with Gustavo Petro, the country’s new and first left wing president.

On Juneteenth, we commemorate emancipation and celebrate liberation. We must also confront our country’s ongoing legacy of racial injustice. There is much work left to be done in the struggle to dismantle systemic racism. What are you doing to mark Juneteenth today?
