In America, no officer of the state should ever be allowed to cover their face. If you have to cover your face, you really should be asking yourself some difficult questions.

Unemployment rates are higher for formerly incarcerated people than the total U.S. unemployment rate during any historical period, including the Great Depression! Exclusionary practices in employment make it almost impossible to successfully navigate reentry. www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/outo...

Tariffs on, tariffs off, tariffs on again?! WH is now in chaos, markets panicked, and investors are furious. Our weekend bulletin has arrived. Catch up:

As a construction professional, it takes 3 to 5 years to build a manufacturing facility. That's after AHJ approval which can take up to 2 years. Get ready for 10 years of hell. This man is not a builder, he's a moron. BTW, I've been in construction for 58 years.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Art of the deal 🤣😂🤣😂

@blueskyartshow.bsky.social My submission for #blueskyartshow #peaceful A photograph of my son exploring the beach on Whidbey Island in the PCN west last fall. He was in a placement facility most of last year. Seeing him find peace leaping from log to log during golden hour brought tears of joy

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

41 Welcome to (all) prison and jail medical care. Little to none and mostly inaccurate always. I'm so sorry this is the reality

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

An actual opposition party would be all over TV for the next 10 days reminding people of this tariff bullshit, letting people know that Congress has the power to end this, and getting to work on doing just that. Instead all that exists is the Democratic party so none of this will happen.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

I want to post this again. DOJ had sent Marshals to her home (they were called off) to warn her not to testify yesterday. She testified anyway. Bondi's DOJ is a weapon. Oyer testified anyway. Keep repeating that. She did it anyway. F--k Bondi. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The GOP Tax Scam takes food out of the mouths of children to reward their billionaire donors like Elon Musk. Democrats will strongly oppose this reckless budget. And we can defeat it tomorrow on the House floor if just four Republicans join us.

This is hugely horrifying.

We are sending people who were once guilty of shoplifting to one of the most brutal facilities IN THE WORLD and maybe forever There is no making this better, we are destroying lives and compounding that destruction with TORTURE What is being done in our names is EVIL

This is the truth. Republicans could put an immediate end to this insanity. They own this.

I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.

🚨 Watch @60minutes.bsky.social on CBS tomorrow evening as we shine a light on Andry's story of being #DisappearedWithNoDueProcess. We're not backing down until we #FreeAndry #JusticeForAndry ✊✊✊ 📆When: Sunday, April 6, 2025 ⏰Time: 7 PM PST/EST 📺Channel: CBS #60Minutes #CBSNews #DueProcess4All

Where is our humanity?

Another thing to keep the daily resister motivated. Will tip the scales of the non-voters and MAGA who are wavering.

The US has the highest incarceration rate of any independent democracy on earth — worse, every single state incarcerates more people per capita than most nations. www.prisonpolicy.org/global/2024....

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

A new report from the Center for Biological Diversity shows decades of groundwater pumping at Fort Huachuca, in southern Arizona, has depleted the aquifer to the point that it has reached the San Pedro River.

the CEO of GameStop before and after Trump’s tariffs LMAOOO

Wow! Updated estimates now put turnout at 2.3 million — and we’re still waiting on reports from coalition members in other areas, with some events yet to begin! If you’re free, come out and join us. Over 1,400 events are planned across the country.

'Adolescence' is a parental nightmare. Here's what to tell kids about online extremism

House Republicans continue to blindly support the reckless policies that are tanking the economy. These people are wildly unfit to govern. And will all be held accountable.

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”. He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”. The job was helping people with disabilities.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

If this describes you, and you’d be interested in consultant work doing impact analyses on policies of interest to AV (e.g., in the CJ or housing space), please email me! I’ll start keeping a list.

We've got 3 events next week! First up, on Tuesday, April 8, we're hosting a virtual resistance lab focused on keeping our communities and sources safer when reporting and creating media in a context of criminalization and surveillance. All journalists, media makers, and comms workers welcome: ⬇️
