The Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. This is devastating, an absolute national tragedy. But know that this isn't the end of this fight, that activists and organizers are diligently working to continue access to safe abortion. A thread:

WHY? Because Thomas's concurrence makes it plain-the Court can *also* go after the decisions on same sex marriage, birth control, and the right to sexual intimacy

When this man was falsely arrested, prosecutors held a press conference. Forced to drop charges after he spent 6 months in jail, they won't return a call for comment 🤔

Since when does the Fourth Amendment allow government agencies to help themselves to Americans’ private data as long as they’re conducting agency business? Should police be able to search your house without a warrant as long as they’re investigating a crime? 13/18

I really hope you guys will read this. I’ve been working on it a while.
It really shows – in a sort of shocking microscopic way -- what inevitably happens when you incentivize criminalization of people for profit. (1/12)

Always worth noting that there is perhaps no criminal legal statistic out there more problematic than our measures of "recidivism."
I think everyone has a fairly common intuitive sense of what the word means.
Our actual statistical definitions, though?

Great ex of the need to always read the fine print abt how we define fundamentally ambiguous terms like “recidivism.”
Can’t compare a 2-yr prison-return rate to 5-yr rearrest rate.
(Not that either actually measures “recidivism,” and both are shaped by enforcement policies.) twitter.com/juliagalef/sta…

Quote Tweet
Marsha Blackburn says one of her concerns with this TN appeals court nominee, Andre Mathis, is his "rap sheet" including 3 speeding tickets 10+ years ago.
One was for 5mph over the speed limit.
Durbin: "If speeding tickets are a rap sheet, I've got one too."

The best part is near the end when he’s like “I know this isn’t likely, because to be remotely applicable my argument requires the U.S. to have entirely different system of government, but I just burned through 800 words on a salary that could fund an overseas bureau”

Last week, @NYPDShea complained that our case against the NYPD for illegally using sealed arrest records is horrible because it requires deletion of records that might be needed some day.

The lives of those who tragically lost loved ones on 9/11 will never be the same. We should never forget them. We should also not forget those whose lives were permanently altered by 9/11 without having been anywhere near Ground Zero.
