    Prison guards continuing to defy mask orders even after formal complaints by nurses, and no one is holding them accountable as their selfishness sickens and kills incarcerated people who can't escape exposure

    Crazier and crazier: Trump team's super-secret ‘military intelligence expert’ "Spyder" who's weaving all these cuckoo voter fraud conspiracy theories turns out to be some rando grunt who failed intelligence training and eventually washed out of the Army!

    Congrats to loving mother of seven Amy Coney Barrett, who has been on the Supreme Court for a month and already gotten to vote to execute two people. Attagirl, slugger.

    Trump has scheduled five executions between now and Biden’s inauguration. Not since Grover Cleveland’s presidency in the 19th century has a president ordered the executions of incarcerated people during a lame-duck session. As it always is with Trump, the cruelty is the point.

    Dylan Roof is trending because today we are reminded of the two American justice systems. The one that says "Dylan and Kyle are just playing with their guns" and the other that says "Trayvon Martin shouldn't have had a hood on so therefore he deserved to be shot in cold blood."

    There is no good writing. There is only dogged rewriting.

    I spoke with yesterday alongside his legal team. Brandon told us about everything he was grateful for in his life. He died with dignity and love, in spite of the cruel, unjust system that condemned him to die as a result of egregious prosecutorial misconduct.

    Also: (1) He was an accomplice - he didn't kill anyone; (2) he's demonstrated prosocial behavior in prison, and (3) the majority of his jurors and even one of his prosecutors no longer support execution. This bloodthirsty rampage by lame-duck admin is appalling.

    Brandon Bernard, who is set to be executed tonight, was 18 yrs old at the time of his arrest. How many of you are the same today as you were at 18 yrs old? Or even 10 yrs ago? 5 years ago? Shit, how many of you are the same person you were before this pandemic?!This is so wrong.

    . Incarcerated people and their loved ones cringe at the word "lockdown" being used to describe covid safety protocols. No one is being locked down. "Modified programming," maybe.

    Every bloody time a famous writer says, "you can't wait to have the time to write, get up early / stay up late and just write" if you poke around, there were inlaws or a wife or SOMEBODY taking care of shit in the background.

    That the Republican AGs of 17 states added their names to a legal effort to invalidate the ballots of a majority of Americans shows how frail our democracy has become, and how close Trump's GOP is bringing us to neofascism. Do not be complacent.

    If we can easily pass a $740,000,000,000 war budget yesterday, we can also help Americans put food on the table.

    This is a really solid and well written take that balances both concerns about safety and fairness with the racial equity issue and histories of abuse. It's a complicated topic. Really glad to hear from

    Librarians, we desperately need your help to fight censorship in jails and prisons.

    "Resisting censorship and providing information is the mantle of [libraries]. Now is the time to take it up, in recognition that there are many, many patrons who have been overlooked and disregarded in the profession’s claims to providing access to all."

    And I should add that during a lockdown, the police come into your home, tear it apart, drag all of your property out into the driveway, and then mix it in with your neighbor’s stuff.

    They should have someone come toss their house too so they can get the full effect.
