RT @AOC: 3,000 Americans died in Hurricane María. The Midwest is drowning as we speak. 100s of Flint families were pumped w/ poisoned water & our water infrastructure is imperiled across the country. GOP thinks this is a joke. They choose to laugh+delay. We choose to lead. #GreenNewDeal https://t.co/FWO2bvx0wD
RT @houstoninst: @PrisonReformMvt @JoshuaBHoe @jettica65 @DeathStop @SandieNatasja @KarineOmry @restore_CAL 3/ We also recommend this episode of @Justice_Podcast w/ @jduffyrice & @ClintSmithIII which covers this subject! They've collected some background reading at the link below as well: https://t.co/kzmM5Gzwgm
RT @theappeal: The District of Columbia police use of force incidents increased for the second straight year in 2018. Of those incidents, 90 percent were against African-Americans and the police department found 91% of the uses of force to be justified. https://t.co/7R8lIslIxy
RT @theappeal: Guards took Harvey Hill from his cell at the Madison County Mississippi jail, handcuffed him, beat him & pepper sprayed him, before tossing him back into his cell. The next morning, he was dead, one of 3 people to die in the same jail in 2018. https://t.co/HqE8T3UgES
RT @ethanbrown72: At the Madison Co. Sheriffs Office, 3 deaths of Black detainees at its jail, a system of roadblocks allegedly targeting Black drivers, a warning from an attorney: ‘I would advise any African American traveling through Madison County to be in high alert.’ https://t.co/9dO13utrHP
RT @HeatherS_25: One of the #FirstStepsBack - A federal court has said that recalculating release dates based on an increase in good-time credits (which would have immediately released some people) is beholden to BOP developing a risk assessment tool. https://t.co/Ag6W6zkRHg
RT @HeatherS_25: Resistance on the ground to implementation of the #FirstStepAct means only the not-so-good parts of the Act become reality. #PrisonState Criminal Justice Legislation Means Nothing Without Follow-Through – Rolling Stone https://t.co/kaF5RhjMUz
RT @heymatthenry: *But* requiring validation and making the results public is a great step. And the transparency bit is straight 🔥🔥🔥. Companies in the business of making tools that can be used to incarcerate people should have to show their work. https://t.co/lXONaL0bAU
RT @heymatthenry: The law requires predicting successfully at the same rate across protected classes *and* that error rates also be balanced across protected classes. I could be wrong, but the way I read that section, it's mathematically impossible to do both at the same time. https://t.co/DLdwXLB9mI

RT @kylegriffin1: Details from new Barbara Bush book: *Bush blamed Trump for her heart attack. *She said by today's terms, with Trump's rise, she would not classify herself as a Republican. *Bush kept Trump Countdown clock. It sat next to her bed until the day she died. https://t.co/pRm03E9RQ9

RT @FUEL_EndLWOP: Why would a prosecutor, whose job is to enforce the law, stand in the way of approved legislation? Advocates say the fight over #SB1437 shows the power DAs have in the political process and the ways they can wield it. https://t.co/sW2B5voGJs
RT @ScottHech: No future housing assistance. No freedom to live where he wants. No future public benefits if needed. No birthday parties w/ his children. No student loans. No job prospects. No escaping from this. Ever. https://t.co/fLatoFYUB4
RT @shaunking: INTRODUCING: The Breakdown :: My new podcast for @TheNorthStar is launching THIS WEEKEND for our members and on next Monday on ALL podcast platforms - including iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, and more. Here's a quick preview where I break down what the podcast is all about! https://t.co/fEAcikpqOe
RT @BernieSanders: New Zealand took less than a week to ban military-style weapons after the Christchurch mosque attacks. It has been 405 days since Parkland. It has been 2,293 days since Sandy Hook. It is past time that we take on the NRA and pass gun safety legislation.
RT @KeeangaYamahtta: Obama's book is on its way to being the most read memoir...ever. I wrote a review of Becoming and the power that its enormous sales give her in shaping our understanding of race and class in the US and beyond...https://t.co/c3sHjeVlmQ
RT @theappeal: With Keith Davis about to stand trial for murder for the 4th time, in a case riddled with claims of police & prosecutorial misconduct, many in Baltimore question whether State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby can ever regain her mantle as a progressive prosecutor. https://t.co/mksul1gA1Y

RT @ntdPhD: clear explanation of some of the complexity on relying on RA. there's an argument to be made, however, that a systematically-biased tool is still better than the status quo *given how bad the status quo is.* incremental change is challenging. https://t.co/Yp4DGDDQvd
RT @TheNorthStar: Get a sneak peek of the brand new television studio we are building for @TheNorthStar. We did this with no loans, no debt. We don’t even have credit cards. We own and control this. Today we’re just 40 days old. Our future is bright and we are pushing forward! https://t.co/LCqWlPaOkg
RT @TheNorthStar: This weekend we trended on Twitter when people lied saying we had not launched (we did - go to https://t.co/0qLm5XYyXP), that we fired all of our employees (we now have 24 - our largest staff yet)& that we were closing down. WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED! https://t.co/LFmmkvqIqg
