As a longtime public defender and person with a new book on safety coming in Feb, this NYT breakdown on how Trump’s tactics on crime are a redux of bad ideas we’ve tried before and recognized don’t pan out. Here’s the details. (I'll link the article in the thread)

People who do difficult, dangerous labor should be paid a meaningful wage commensurate to the difficulty and dangerousness of that labor. Glad to get a chance to say so and thanks @valeriereports for covering this issue! newsweek.com/incarcerated-fi…

You may have heard the term “Project 2025” floating around, and you may even have cracked open the 900+ page document yourself, only to see a lot of kind of bland, policy-wonk text. So let me crack through the policy-speak and tell you WTF is in this document.

Here at PFJ, we know there is a nexus between reliable transportation and client success. And while advocates can move mountains, they can't materialize vehicles. BUT thanks to an incredible partnership with @Uber, now we can make a ride appear when it is most needed!

Garbage at-bats. Totally one-dimensional. Six outs to stop playing hero ball and just put it in play.

PFJ is in @NewYorker! When we started as a scrappy nonprofit five years ago, we could only dream of the progress we've made - advocates in 10 states, assisting around 7,000 people annually and eliminating nearly 5,000 years of incarceration. newyorker.com/news/daily-com…

How a New Approach to Public Defense Is Overcoming Mass Incarceration

Public defenders represent eighty per cent of all people charged with a crime in this country, and they typically work in offices that are underfunded and understaffed.

Read this original insight by a brilliant lawyer, @GalvinAlmanza, into what the Mug Shot heard round the world really tells us — about a world of hurt and the swirl of hate. And support @PFJ_USA to make a difference. I have! huffpost.com/entry/donald-tr…
Opinion: There’s No Such Thing As A Good Mug Shot

Opinion: There’s No Such Thing As A Good Mug Shot

Don't forget that a mug shot is an oppressive tool; a screaming headline that this person has a past. It is photographic proof that serves as a direct rebuttal against the presumption of innocence.
