After 14 years, it is time for the General Assembly to take meaningful steps to address the harms of charging youth as adults. The current system is wasteful, and it doesn't give young people or our communities the outcomes they deserve. Pass SB323/HB409!!

There are two ways we recommend taking action today in response to the murder of Renee Nicole Good: Join us at Sherman Circle at 5:30pm for a community vigil! Then at 8pm, there will be a nationwide virtual rapid response call focused on next steps & action! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

October is Youth Justice Action Month (YJAM)! We'll be spending the month raising awareness about the unique challenges young individuals face within the justice system and advocating for fair, effective, and developmentally appropriate responses. Learn more: youthjusticeactionmonth.org

Yesterday was incredible — and today, we keep organizing. Tomorrow we're headed to the Senate and will host a teach-in about juries with @harrietsdreams.bsky.social. Tuesday, college students walk out. Later this week get trained on non-cooperation, and more. Details at FreeDCproject.org/events.

Great work from social work scholars at Columbia U. Yet another example of the wicked classism and perverse cruelty that defines the GOP's and, of course, has deep roots in U.S. policy. #socialwork wapo.st/4leLmC2

Even a proposal meant to benefit children would cut out low-income households.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

The Dems problem is not “wokeness” or that they are too left. The problem is they chase public opinion rather than shaping it, implying they don’t belive in anything. Dems that don’t do this (AOC, Bernie, and Warren) are popular. And this is why Booker’s speech was so moving—it seemed genuine.

Anyway, a good brief background article on Ozturk's situation. Read the op ed, linked within. Build & leverage support for basic civil rights & resist thesr fascist politics. Challenge the disinfo & propaganda that still defines what is "acceptable" discourse on the war. www.vox.com/donald-trump...

Nicole and Letty need $10,000 more to reach their goal! If we can get 400 people to donate $25 we will have helped them be able to rebuild! They lost their house, a car, and all of their possessions. Let’s help them out!

DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE. These things will be challenged and we will have time to find work arounds, new plans and build networks.

Good time at #SSWR2025. On my plane ride home, I watched David Sedaris’ Master Class on writing. Very enjoyable. But if I were an aspiring writer, I would have felt totally deflated.
