Thank you @PeteButtigieg Please Louder so the people in the back can hear!
Pete asks a good question. Why aren’t more people upset that the head of this country threatened to kick Americans out if we protested his policies? That’s a blatant violation of the first amendment.

Families deserve accurate and respectful communication with their incarcerated loved ones. The BOP’s careless copying of letters—riddled with errors & omissions—only deepens the divide. We must do better to uphold dignity and strengthen family connections. #UV4SOR #FamiliesMatter

Trump Admin fired all of the US Attorneys appointed by Biden, informed them by email, and sent the messages to the wrong email addresses. Not just classless, but incompetent, too.

Number of words in Trump’s inaugural address about renaming the Gulf of Mexico, renaming Denali mountain, and retaking the Panama Canal: 213. Number of words about making housing, health care, or child care more affordable: Zero.

In Michigan... we send parents to prison for a decade + after the state sends their child to prison for life as an Adult. Seems we have a catch 22.

In March of 2020, COVID-19 was killing thousands of people a day across the world with no end in sight. Among the most vulnerable were U.S. prisoners. Lawmakers from both parties recognized that people in prison with no history of violence, who had medical vulnerabilities, or

I would think among other requirements that people who hold office should have at the very minimum the capability to understand logic ~ Senator Cotton surely has a huge deficit.
No Senator Cotton, we do not have an under incarceration problem, we have an over incarceration problem….and shorter sentences lead to less crime…and no the hearing should NOT have been called the “case for more incarceration”

Please use humanizing language for incarcerated & formally incarcerated individuals. There is no context where we should be dehumanizing humans.

We were really excited to join our community and legislative partners in MA last week as @MassGovernor ceremonially signed the bill that made all prison and jail communication free across the state. The bill went into effect on 12/1 and the impact has already been monumental!

David Carrillo holds a position that is extremely rare in prison: He’s an incarcerated professor teaching in a prison bachelor’s degree program through Adam’s State. He is one of the first to be employed in Colorado as an incarcerated professor. https://t.co/sk6m07NBX7
