Lets be real, liberals thinking DEI was 'job done' and not making real institutional changes is as much to blame. It's easy dismantle because it was so flimsy in the first place

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE @leftistlawyer.com · 11/01/2025

Please remember that in the entire history of the world, "that's illegal" has prevented exactly zero crimes. The law is not a forcefield that prohibits illegal actions. It's a list of consequences that *may* be imposed if you do the proscribed act. "You can't do that" is just factually incorrect.

It's National Poverty in America Awareness Month – sadly, the carceral system targets & perpetuates poverty People with multiple arrests are more likely to be poor, unemployed & have less than a high school education Time to support our communities instead of locking them up

This is unreal: State troopers in Nashville have arrested ten people in recent weeks under Tennessee's FELONY camping law. The punishment? Up to six years in prison, a $3000 fine, and the loss of voting rights. via Open Table Nashville—please follow them & share: www.instagram.com/p/DC11Hd8oEs...

In the last few weeks, state troopers in Nashville have arrested 10 people under
Tennessee's felony camping law-the harshest law in the nation.
This sharp increase is incredibly concerning for the rights of people experiencing
homelessness across the state and beyond.
Here's what you need to know and what you can do to help!

Here's what you can do:
Share this post! Help us spread awareness and put pressure on our elected officials!
If you're in Tennessee, please email india@opentablenashville.org if you hear of a felony arrest or if you are harrassed, cited, or arrested under this law.

the most important thing about this story—beyond of course the actual human beings at its center—is this: this prison is no outlier. such extreme violent depravity occurs nationwide. what’s unique is that the story is being told. resist all calls to reform that which cannot be reformed nor repaired.

I think the arrest warrant matters for the long fight for Palestinian liberation. I do. But man is this so little, such a weak form of paper justice when we are seeing day in day out people being ravaged by an oppressor acting with impunity. What a failure. What shame.
