Natasha Smith knows first hand what it is like to suddenly find yourself houseless. After being scammed out of her housing, she found purpose and community on Skid Row. Being homeless is not a crime. #communitycareworks #wekeepussafe #carenotcuffs #prisonreform #freethemall

I teach djing on Saturdays at a prison in the Inland Empire and I’ll have to say it’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done as a DJ. These guys are the best! I’ve been there for almost a year and I’m looking forward to 2024 at CRC!

It costs $1 MILLION per year to incarcerate one young person in LA County-we must remove youth from Probation custody and fully invest in #YouthJusticeReimagined. @LAYouthUprising

Editorial: Ousting L.A. County's chief probation officer isn't enough. Only radical intervention can save juvenile justice (via @latimesopinion ) latimes.com/opinion/story/…

BREAKING: Tennessee Governor Bill Lee just signed into law a ban on all forms of gender-affirming care for trans people under 18. We're suing. Tennessee — we'll see you in court.

Y’all remember when I said they’re gonna try to bring back Jim Crow…well it’s happening in Jackson Mississippi and I wish I was exaggerating but I’m not. The bill has passed the house vote.

All of the cops who murdered Tyre Nichols have been released on bail. None of the NY politicians against bail reform have decried their release. That’s because the attacks on bail reform have nothing to do with public safety. Bail punishes poverty. It doesn’t make us safer.

For the record: cops aren’t supposed to kill guilty people either.

My roommate was recently released after serving 27 years in prison for petty theft. He never broke the rules while inside, so that means he has never used a cellphone. He came home to find out our entire lives exist on this device. 📲🧵
