Data privacy rights are like bullet trains, walkable cities, and universal healthcare, a pipe dream, a utopian fantasy, something that's standard elsewhere but portrayed as utterly impossible in the United States.

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.

These are two amazing artists. The fact one of America's foremost modern Jewish chroniclers of the Holocaust is turning to Gaza should also not be lost on anyone

While I was in prison, a man I lived with overdosed on heroin. Other prisoners tried keeping him alive with ice cubes and meth. A wild thread.

You should never be in a room with police for more than an hour. If they read you your Miranda rights, you’re a suspect. Shut it down. Demand a lawyer. This is just some of the advice I got from a retired FBI Special Agent, and two renowned false confessions experts. /thread

Getting away with crime or getting justice? Sometimes medieval criminal court records reveal instances in which localities and/or individuals took the punishment of crime into their own hands. The castration case of Tom, son of Leofwin, from the year 1202 is one such case. 🧵1/5

if you want a roadmap for how media manufactures consent for policy by inflaming prejudice against marginalized people, look no further than the origin of the drug war (early 20th c). should not be surprising that the ny times was to blame then too

every time I post this, I get replies from people who are ENRAGED I'm COMPLYING IN ADVANCE because I think it's tactically foolish to post violent threats on the internet in a way that gets you noticed by authorities This elegantly illustrates the exact lack of strategic thinking I'm talking about

The fact that Rahm Emanuel still has a prominent voice in the Democratic Party in 2024 is indicative of Democrats' problems. I don't know how to explain to you that a person who actively covered up a police shooting and tried to tank an attempt at universal healthcare [only 2 examples] is terrible.

Thread, and paper. During crunches, social service cut more than cops. During booms, cops get more than restored, social services do not. A constant bipartisan prioritization of policing over all else. Despite clear evidence—this is me, not paper—that that is bad policy for our marginal dollars.

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history. Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life. But it's not over. A thread.

What if I told you that the only reason I am bald is that I’m afraid of a Ratatouille situation? What if I told you that I’d have so much hair if not for the fear of a rat using me like a puppet? These are modes of control, Neo. This is how they manipulate us. Ratatouilles, Neo. Rats that pull hair.

One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents. Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.
