People sometimes ask me how Texas prisons compare to LA jails...

When I investigated fires burning unchecked inside Texas prisons, TDCJ responded by getting more fire alarms.

When I did the same in LA, they responded by taking away batteries.

There is no circumstance where our political leaders should be using every platform available to them to defend the police going to college campuses in droves and assaulting young people.

Literally, none. There's no world of disagreement where this is okay. None.

This is what we call a lie

Meet Terranisha. A single mother in Houston trying to make ends meet. She was arrested & bail would have been devastating. Instead, she was released, able to find work, & get her case dismissed. “I find solace in attending church with my loved ones.” Her freedom story:

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP)—Alabama has authorized the execution of a second person by nitrogen gas. The Alabama Supreme Court on Thursday granted the state attorney general’s request for an execution date for Alan Eugene Miller, who survived a 2022 lethal injection attempt. And ICYMI:

This week, Worth Rises Executive Director Bianca testified in Congress about overcriminalization and its impact on the American people. Powerful clips of her answers to questions are circulating, but we invite you to watch her full testimony here: bit.ly/wr-congress.

💪Alabama - YES! Both chambers have passed SB 322 and it's on its way to the Governor. This legislation, which is a small but meaningful step toward #PrisonOversight , is the result of families testifying about the brutality and lack of transparency they experienced with ADOC.

NEW: Chevron, Comcast, JP Morgan Chase and other companies that pledged to pay for employee travel for abortion care after Roe was overturned have donated $93k to the lawmakers who voted for Florida's 6 week abortion ban since the law passed last year. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

Surprised a class action lawsuit hasn't been filed against Alabama leaders over the record number of fatal overdoses inside prisons.

There are many people like Marlon still behind bars, who deserve the #SecondChance that compassionate release, clemency, and sentencing reform can bring.

In what world is 30 YEARS on parole not long enough???? Alabama, that's where. The only way to get off lifetime parole in Alabama is with a pardon & Gwathney almost always votes no. They want to ‘die with a clear conscience.’ But in Alabama......... al.com/news/2024/05/t…

Wyoming removes anyone who didn't vote in the most recent election from voter rolls (in this case, the 2022 election).

So the state just purged 28% of its voter registrations: wyofile.com/wyoming-voids-…

Mike Huckabee’s son hanged a dog. Sarah Palin’s son stood on one. Tomi Lahren kicks hers. Mitt Romney drove with his on the roof of his car. Ted Cruz abandoned his. Kristi Noem shot hers. In conclusion, Republicans are a bunch of dog-hating sociopaths.

So Florida is actually making money over criminalizing and sentencing people. Let’s do the math: At $78/day, 10-mos of incarceration costs the state $24k. If billed for her 7-yr sentence at $127k, the state makes a profit of $103k.

What kind of incentives does that create? 🤔
