I’m grateful for the opportunity to speak to NowThis about sex work. I’d love to see them interview trans POC folks
‘Sex work is inherently work’ — Here’s why this lawyer is fighting to change the law criminalizing sex work in New York

2 NYPD cops were arrested for allegedly stealing a sex worker's keys, then entering her apartment to rob and grope her. There is a long, documented history of NYC cops weaponizing their badges to target sex worker. This is one of the reasons we need sex work decrim
Prosecutors say Justin McMillan and Justin Colon intentionally turned off their body cameras while breaking into a residential building and stole money while on duty.

Our op-ed on how the Kids Online Safety Act will give the next administration too much power to chill disfavored speech. Governments are already welding this power to target LGBT speech, CRT, abortion speech, etc. we need data privacy protections, not KOSA https://t.co/4gnV7QhWN5

More state's should follow Montana's lead by adopting explicit constitutional amendments that protect the right to privacy. I'd love to see NY add a constitutional amendment with explicit, robust protections for data privacy
Bodily autonomy wins in Montana! Montana's Supreme Court just UNANIMOUSLY struck down a law that allowed parents to veto their child's abortion. "A minor's right to dignity, autonomy, and the right to choose are embedded in the liberties found in the Montana constitution."

Supervised consumption sites are WAY safer than bars. Bars serve the drug & are incentivized to over-serve; SCS’s don’t. Bars don’t have medically-trained staff on standby; SCS’s do. Bars have bouncers that escalate violence by assaulting intox. patrons; SCS’s don’t. Bars

The worst outcome of the presidential debate is that it's taken attention away from SCOTUS obliterating the administrative state and enabling localities to criminalize homelessness.

The Venn diagram of gays who complained about banning cops from pride and gays that were munching on vegan finger foods at @NYCMayor's Pride reception as he threatens to defund HIV/AIDS programming by $5.3M is just overlapping circles.

Sex workers have been the canaries in the coal mines for years about the harms of censorship, and specifically attempts to revive the Comstock Act. If you care about repro rights, online speech, etc., sex worker rights should be your issue https://t.co/GaDhWCGIGl

Sandra Day O'Conner was no moderate. Beyond Bush v Gore, she signed on to a horrifically homophobic decision, green lit states executing kids & people with intellectual disabilities, weakened abortion rights, affirmative action & Miranda, & then retired to give us Alito

Most Americans have no conception of how many civilians died as a result of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This same indifference to human life is repeating itself. The attack on Israel was a tragedy. It doesn't justify the massacre of civilians in Palestine.

Don't get it twisted, this robo-cop will not replace cops. It will subject New Yorkers to constant surveillance and be used to justify hiring more cops. All while NYC is defunding supportive programming that actually stabilizes communities and reduces crime
Mayor Adams proudly compared the costs of the robo-cop to that of a human transit cop: The city is leasing the robot for $9-an-hour. “This is a good investment of taxpayer dollars. This is below minimum wage, no bathroom breaks, no meal breaks.” https://t.co/vBRDMBr6tL

Civil rights advocates from across the country are teaming up for a one-day online fundraiser, with all donations going directly to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund. Learn more about #StopCopCity: https://t.co/OOpAK6fJvu How RICO is used against protesters:

Brave activists in Atlanta have been organizing to #StopCopCity. Now some face outrageous RICO conspiracy charges brought by the Georgia AG. These RICO charges are a threat to protesters everywhere. That's why we're raising money for their legal defense. https://t.co/ThFLgsTYR1

The NYDN Ed Board previously opposed reducing the Rockefeller Drug Laws & even efforts to decrim weed. Their support of overdose prevention centers is evidence-based & a welcome improvement. I hope this means they will support compassion & harm reduction for ALL substances
EDITORIAL | N.Y. knows how to prevent overdoses but shies away from from doing it Overdose prevention systems have delivered nothing but stellar results despite significant headwinds that now include potential shutdown. It deserves unabashed support. https://t.co/Sawjy1lXiB

NY's legislature has failed to pass the Youth Interrogations Act @Right2RemainSi1, legislation that would prevent cops from coercing false confessions from kids. NY is making a policy choice to put more kids in the same position as the Exonerated 5. Trump's mugshot isn't justice

"Trump's indictment is justice for the Central Park 5" is an AWFUL take. There are virtually no parallels between a rich senior citizen who walks into the police station with his lawyer, & poor black kids that were detained for hours & coerced into false confessions + denied bail

A guard at Rikers bragged about beating someone living with mental illness, and claimed he would do it again. He even said he WANTED to be suspended so he could go on vacation. The humanitarian crisis at Rikers is a policy choice by @NYCMayor & the DOC Commissioner
A Rikers Island correction officer was caught on tape boasting about beating a mentally ill detainee. “Unfortunately, such examples of hyper-confrontational behavior and unnecessary and excessive force utilized by staff are all too common.” https://t.co/BIAjg06gwF

Racial disparities in the family regulation & foster care system are even worse than the penal system. It has decimated Black and Native families. To fire someone for calling a spade a spade demonstrates that the NY Courts are fine with the status quo
Burton says her planned remarks to members of Congress in the U.S. Capitol and to a civil rights panel of prominent New Yorkers cost her a job.

Mandatory minimums were rare in most states until the drug war began 50 years ago. Ending mandatory minimums will enhance community safety, and help individuals & families escape cycles of poverty & incarceration. Link to blog ⬇️
"We’ve caged thousands of parents over decades, causing pain, poverty, & cycles of incarceration. #CommunitiesNotCages would eliminate mandatory minimum sentences, & enable judges to consider rehabilitative alternatives." - @JaredTruEsqueer of @NYCLU
