Lets be real, liberals thinking DEI was 'job done' and not making real institutional changes is as much to blame. It's easy dismantle because it was so flimsy in the first place

Please remember that in the entire history of the world, "that's illegal" has prevented exactly zero crimes. The law is not a forcefield that prohibits illegal actions. It's a list of consequences that may be imposed if you do the proscribed act. "You can't do that" is just factually incorrect.

Focus on 1 or 2 things. Go deep on those. Focus on "news" about those things first and foremost. Think about the concrete actions you can take to impact those ONE or TWO things.

It's National Poverty in America Awareness Month – sadly, the carceral system targets & perpetuates poverty People with multiple arrests are more likely to be poor, unemployed & have less than a high school education Time to support our communities instead of locking them up

This is unreal: State troopers in Nashville have arrested ten people in recent weeks under Tennessee's FELONY camping law. The punishment? Up to six years in prison, a $3000 fine, and the loss of voting rights. via Open Table Nashville—please follow them & share: www.instagram.com/p/DC11Hd8oEs...

My people and I decided to get a catered meal today cuz it's a lot going on. And, I'll just say I did not take a plate with me when I left. No mac on Black Friday is actually wild. So, I'm going to bed hurt. #0stars #donotrecommend

We’ve kicked off our book drive for Prison Books Collective this year. PBC sends books to folks incarcerated in North Carolina and Alabama. We can only accept paperback books, as required by prisons, and cannot take books with markings or highlighting, nudity, content related to gangs or tattooing.

the most important thing about this story—beyond of course the actual human beings at its center—is this: this prison is no outlier. such extreme violent depravity occurs nationwide. what’s unique is that the story is being told. resist all calls to reform that which cannot be reformed nor repaired.
