RT @LApubdefunion: LAPD’s misappropriation of John Lewis’s legacy of “good trouble,” protesting for civil rights and racial justice, is deeply offensive and ahistorical.

RT @bri_sacks: While at school, Patrick Henry students said Cawthorn often used his white Dodge Challenger as a way to entrap and harass his women classmates Two said he would drive recklessly and ask them about their virginity and sexual experiences while they were locked in the moving car https://t.co/Q4rC8zFGQB
RT @LouisianaBernie: @mrdannyglover @Gather4Justice Harry Belafonte’s words are really resonating today as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris choose not to override the parliamentarian on #FightFor15 and stand with the people: “Make promises only to walk into places of power and deny us.” https://t.co/sCrb5yVxTH

RT @john_hummel: I joined with DA Schmidt and DA Ellis on the attached testimony to the House Judiciary Committee in support of eliminating Oregon's mandatory minimum sentences: They don't make us safer and do increase racial disparities. Judges should decide criminal sentences, not prosecutors. https://t.co/TsrpJBOCdr
RT @OJRCenter: Decades of research show that mandatory minimums have not achieved one of their proponents' goals: fairness. The disparities they create and worsen for Black and Indigenous Oregonians and other POC are unacceptable. We have a wealth-sensitive and discriminatory legal system. https://t.co/F34miqxyXv
RT @DeadlineWH: "With MBS, the Crown Prince, both the president and Jared Kushner had a very cozy relationship, and they believed this relationship was behooving them politically, and that was what was important.

RT @ScottHech: Kelli Dillon had the foresight & courage to engage filmmakers to chronicle her fight for truth. They followed her for *7 years* & finally that film has come out. I had the opportunity to watch @BOTBFilm. It's beyond powerful. Infuriating. More details: https://t.co/kqcKahyWBW https://t.co/zuFl5m3Myl
RT @ScottHech: As part of the investigation prompted by Kelli speaking out, the Center for Investigative found California State audit & prison records showed nearly 1400 sterilization procedures occurred btwn 1997-2013. FOIA requests to other states confirmed: only 6 have banned sterilizations. https://t.co/UH3VsNvS2O
RT @ScottHech: Central California Women's Prison is the world's largest women's prison. The farmlands surrounding it helped conceal the brutal human rights violations happening on the inside. "Inmates become numbers," Kelli says. "They don’t get names. And that’s why it’s easier to abuse them." https://t.co/VdTn5MCU8h
RT @ScottHech: "I have been intentionally sterilized. And I have been lied to." Meet Kelli Dillon. While she was incarcerated in California prison she was the victim of *systemic modern-day eugenics.* Then she discovered she wasn't alone. Doctor's response: "It's cheaper than welfare."
