“What happened in Nebraska won’t stay in Nebraska,” writes Shelley Mann of @NebraskaAR, detailing the anti-abortion movement’s deceptive tactics to defeat a Nebraska ballot measure securing access to abortion. It will replicate its tactics everywhere. https://t.co/Gc2ePdLU6x

Activists say Kentucky’s new prison proposal is a step backward for environmental justice, @raylevyuyeda reports. The federal government says environmental justice communities deserve consideration. Does that apply to those incarcerated? https://t.co/Y7F46ia54S

The Latine experience is not one culture, community, race, tribal affiliation, class, or documentation status, writes @brujacontumbao in an op-ed. What’s the deal with the Latine vote? Mischaracterizing ourselves within the US political & social paradigm. https://t.co/g5FmJikt6W
prismreports.org
The diverse Latine experience, shaped by factors like class, immigration status, race, and class, is too often oversimplified—both by outsiders and within our own communities

Some criminal justice reform advocates argue that CA voters’ rejection of Prop 6 in tandem with support for Prop 36 is a sign of a turn towards a tough-on-crime mentality, @bytamarsarai reports. The “slavery exception” remains in the state's constitution. https://t.co/Zax91Z1oZC

Rejected Proposition 6 would have banned forced prison labor, while Proposition 36 passed to restore higher penalties on some drug and theft offenses

New werk… my thoughts on Black men being owed an apology after Tuesday’s election
The Harris campaign, media, political pundits, & former President Obama owe Black men an apology, @RealRannMiller writes in an op-ed. Black men were scapegoated before the election based on misleading reports. The real problem—it turns out—was white women. https://t.co/9nqqEwdlvs
