“If we reduce markups on these essential goods, we’ll relieve the economic burden on mostly Black & Brown low-income families across the state who are trying to support their loved ones inside,”

At a time of rising authoritarianism, the threat people like Newsome pose is extraordinary. Not only is the content of what he is saying monstrous, but the moment in which he is saying it is one of great peril for a society struggling to maintain basic democratic values.

The legal issue here is whether the government can put human beings in cages for living on the street *even if there is no available shelter.* Pretending this barbaric attempt to criminalize the poor is new or a “rare” agreement btw political parties is a lie.

Looking forward to learning from people from all over the US at #decarceralvisions conference at @UCLA @UCLALuskin @UCLA_Law. What does it mean CONCRETELY to build a world where cages and weapons don’t define notions of safety? So many are already doing this work.

Incarcerated people are distinctly vulnerable to climate hazards because they're entirely reliant upon CDCR for preparedness, response & recovery.

There's a lot of misinformation swirling about #SB94.
Here are the facts:
✅Lets judges give a fresh look at LWOP sentences from the 70s & 80s
✅Prioritizes public safety & victim input every step of the way
✅Restores hope, a powerful tool to incentivize rehabilitation

When incarcerated people are forced to work, they miss out on attending positive self-help & educational programming. #CALeg, prioritize rehabilitation over involuntary servitude!
📢Tell your CA lawmakers to pass #ACA8: action.aclu.org/send-message… #EndSlaveryinCA – at Sacramento, CA

Yes on #SB94: The law would not guarantee a person’s release "but it would help people who have experienced rehabilitation while behind bars to have an opportunity to make a case for a second chance on the outside.” bit.ly/sb94spectrum

ALT Screenshot from Spectrum News 1 article with header: SB 94 looks to establish judicial review for people serving LWOP. Below that is "what you need to know:" SB 94 would allow those convicted before June 5 1990 who have also served at least 25 years to petition a judge to reconsider possibility of parole, would not guarantee release, and would help people like Joseph Bill, who was imprisoned in the 90s for this role in a murder and robbery charge, despite not committing the killing.

The criminalization of #mutualaid activities in the #StopCopCity campaign of course brings to mind FBI and local law enforcement attacks on the Black Panther Party's breakfast program. Criminalizing mutual aid is part of political repression. blackpast.org/african-americ…

THREAD. Behind closed doors, a little-known bureaucrat in Los Angeles just signed one of the weirdest--and most dangerous--contracts I've seen in my career: it gives huge control over the “justice” system in Los Angeles to the consulting firm Accenture.

🧵 WHO IS ACCENTURE and WHY is LA County contracting with this global consulting group to design pretrial services?
They're a massive IT consulting firm heavily involved in law enforcement tech. Check out the other red flags here: ExposeAccenture.org #ExposeAccenture
