October 21 - 10AM

JOIN US FOR JUSTICE LA'S CLOSE MCJ RALLY
When? → Tuesday, October 21, 10 AM PDT
Where? → Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration (500 W Temple St, Los Angeles, CA 90012)
What? → LA County's Jail Closure Team will present on their plan to Close Men's Central Jail. Join us to rally and give public comment.
Why? → 38 people have died in LASD custody this year alone. Closing Men's Central Jail is a matter of life and death. Yet, thousands of our loved ones remain incarcerated there - more than half without a conviction.
WE CAN'T AFFORD TO WAIT.
CLOSE MCJ NOW

HOW DID WE GET HERE? (EXTREMELY ABRIDGED)
2017
JusticeLA was launched in 2017 as an abolitionist coalition of individuals, experts, and community organizations fighting the creation of new jails in LA.
2020
LA County Board of Supervisors Unanimously Vote to close Men's Central Jail, a deadly and decrepit facility.
2020
Supervisors directed the LA County Sheriff's Department and the Office of Diversion and Reentry to launch a workgroup to come up with a plan for closing MCJ within a year.
2021
On March 30th, 2021 the Men's Central Jail (MCJ) Closure Report outlined a roadmap for closure within 18-24 months.
LA County has not taken the bold steps to implement the evidence-based will of the people.
2025
At least 232 people have died in LASD custody since the board voted to close MCJ.
2025
On October 21st, the County's Jail Closure Team will be presenting at the Board of Supervisors meeting.

JOIN US IN HOLDING THE BOARD ACCOUNTABLE TO COMMUNITY.

Trump regime forces brutally beat Americans in the streets of Chicago for witnessing their neighbours be kidnapped and disappeared in broad daylight. Concerned citizens stood up for themselves as the regime continues to expand its fascist terror campaign.

lászló krasznahorkai described in details, UNPROVOKED i might add, how he'd be 'tortured & killed by Arabs' while discussing his Jewish heritage. he went out of his way to share his vile anti-muslim & anti-arab racism, knowing the impact this would have. 🖕🏿 him & as always 🖕🏿the nobel prize

age description
László Krasznahorkai: „The Arabs would certainly accept to torture and shoot them dead”
By: Saturday - 2023-12-16 Column: Culture-Arts

In an interview on the Friderikusz Podcast, Kossuth Prize-winning writer László Krasznahorkai also talked about the Jewish origin of his paternal family and hinted that although this would not be religiously sufficient for Judaism, it would be sufficient for the Arabs to torture and kill him.

Someone asked me couple weeks ago if I used AI to create book cover art for a new project. Mind you, this person has known me, as a multimedia artist, for ~26 years. Ofc I was fking insulted & shocked. That's the shittiest thing you can say to an artist who's spent a lifetime developing their craft.

Screenshot of interview transcript with David Simon, creator of "The Wire," being interviewed by Ari Shapiro, NPR. Also fuck you, Ari Shapiro, for fucking asking this trash ass question.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, an‹ I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Concept/practice sketches for an upcoming set of book covers I’m working on. Hands are hard, but it turns out drawing masc figures is even harder (for me). My men all come out looking like Kardashians fresh from the salon at first go. #booksky #illustration #illustrator #sketches

Pencil sketches of hands and other body parts scattered over various pieces of paper. A pencil sits atop the pile of paper and a nearby prism scatters rainbows across the whole mess.

Lots of talk on “law and order,” and “tough on crime” legislation, from both sides of ‘the aisle’. Why? As @prisonpolicy.bsky.social reports: 💣 Crime rates are *historically* low 💣 3/4 of all jail bookings are for *nonviolent* charges 💣 3/4 of people in jail have *not* been convicted of a crime

Prison Policy bar graph: INDEX CRIMES PER 100,000 PEOPLE IN THE U.S. • U.S. crime rates continue to fall, and actually hit a 60-year low in 2023 | The last time crime rates were this low was 1963

Prison Policy bar graph: TOP CHARGE FACING INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE JAILED • The most serious charge for most people who are booked into jail is related to drugs, property, or public order — not violence | Percent of people booked into a sample of local jails between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2023, by charge type and number of times they were booked into the same jail within 12 months of their initial booking

Please stop telling me that crime must be deterred. Studies have shown over and over again that in the context of criminal law, deterrence theory is a myth. It doesn't work. It never has. That's a copaganda myth. Poverty is the cause of most crime. Eliminate poverty, and you eliminate most crime.

Every so often a client ignores me and talks with the police because they're convinced they can just clear things up and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. it makes things worse and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. it's "that's not what I said though" and "but they lied to me." DON'T TALK TO COPS WITHOUT YOUR LAWYER. EVER.
