RT @laurenk_gill: A prisoner just told me he's been conserving resources for when he contracts coronavirus. I asked him what he meant by that. He said he's saving his money so he can buy smuggled in medicine to ease the symptoms. He and other prisoners have been researching what's working.
RT @benwikler: STATEMENT: Tonight, despite the GOP’s savage attempt to suppress votes and steal Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election, Judge Jill Karofsky prevailed. In an election that should never have taken place in person, it’s a victory for justice—and democracy. https://t.co/MD0ENNJljR
RT @RBReich: Liberal challenger Jill Karofsky won election to Wisconsin’s state supreme court. Meaning that the court won't okay the GOP's purging of 240,000 voters before the November election. Or other efforts at voter suppression. Meaning that this swing state is still in play.
