    President Trump is expected to emphasize health care in tonight's SOTU -- so & I looked at his actual record. Some highlights: -Drug prices aren't down -He hasn't protected pre-ex conditions -Health care isn't cheaper

    The mark the beginning of the presidential primary, yet well over 42,000 Iowans out of prison won’t have a say in choosing a presidential candidate. And 10% of the black voting-age population can’t vote because of a felony conviction.

    Read all of this 🔥 from on the very white Iowa caucuses: "The racial-disenfranchisement problem is more than the inadvertent fallout from an era of racially skewed mass incarceration, it is the legacy of racist Jim Crow-era policies."

    The outsized and unrepresentative influence Iowa gets in the primaries is even worse than you think—people with felony convictions (over 69,000) are banned from voting even after release, and Iowa incarcerates Black people at 11x the rate of white people, 3rd worst in the nation.

    Iowa is now the only state in the nation that still disenfranchises all people convicted of a felony for life. Tell me again why we give it such an important role in our democracy?

    BREAKING: Colorado Senate, after 6 hours of deliberation, votes 19-15 to adopt a bill to repeal the death penalty. This all but assures the repeal will succeed because the House and governor support repeal. Senate takes a final vote tomorrow, but that's a formality.

    I want you to know Michael Schumacher. Like Willie Simmons, he's serving life without parole in Alabama's horrific prisons for crimes he committed decades ago. In 1985, Michael, at 24, robbed a grocery store, stealing $147. No one was physically hurt. He turns 60 this year. 1/12

    ICYMI: Please read on a survivor-centered approach to ending mass incarceration. “I have interviewed hundreds of survivors...what I have found runs contrary to almost every story we have been told about who survivors are and what they want.”

    Spectacular use of the “exonerative tense” for law enforcement here. Defies parody. Bravo.

    Undoing bail reform because jail is the only way to get treatment to some folks is such a bad argument. How about we use the money saved from bail reform (let’s close some jails!) and bring treatment into the community where it belongs!

    Lawmakers in at least 17 states have banned people with certain convictions from changing their name. In lawsuits across the country, transgender women argue, "I'm not out to fool anybody. I'm out to be who I am." New from for :

    To give a sense of scale to this crisis—there are currently ~2,800 men incarcerated at Parchman. 9 have died in the past month. At this rate, almost 4% of the population would be dead by the end of the year. now

    Astros players better start apologizing and take accountability. Because throwing their manager under the bus and telling MLB they would have stopped if he had only told them to stop ain’t it. These are grown men.

    THREAD: Today is the 4th anniversary of Montgomery v. Louisiana, the SCOTUS decision holding that life w/o parole sentences are unconstitutional for the vast majority of youth. Progress has been made, but challenges remain--and Henry Montgomery is still in prison after 56 years.

    We are heartbroken to share the news that John Moss III passed away in prison this week. He spent almost 40 years incarcerated in West Virginia. It is tragic and reprehensible that he remained behind bars until his death.

    At my last job, at , I worked a little bit with a man named John Moss to help him prepare for a parole hearing. John was arrested as a kid and maintained his innocence for all 40 (!!) years that he served This morning I found out that John passed away in prison on Monday

    's and I write in why if someone is against the death penalty due to its cruelty, ineffectiveness, cost, errors, and racism, that substituting life without parole does not solve or address any of those underlying issues.
