In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

Booker, after speaking for more than 24 hours and breaking Thurmond's record, is still standing and still speaking--using his time to warn his colleagues and his country about the dangers of defunding universities and defunding scientific research.

I don't see enough people or reporters talking about the mass terminations of nih lgbtq+ grants that happened yesterday. How can we get the word out so communities understand the huge loss to science, safety, and economy this is??

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

We see a lot of short term strategy talk around persuading voters, but this is the much harder long-term problem. A population that lacks the most basic understanding of how our government works cannot rationally govern itself.

The health, social, and economic harms of incarceration extend far beyond the people behind bars to their children, families, and entire communities

New data shows that as jail incarceration rates increase, so do county death rates

Mass incarceration is a public health crisis

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night.

Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar.

I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below.

What an immense loss

January can be an excellent opportunity to reset, but many fitness resolutions — like sculpting a six-pack or losing a lot of weight — can be unrealistic or unsustainable. This year, consider a fitness resolution that has nothing to do with how you look. Here are five ideas to get you started.

The ACLU filed a lawsuit on Friday arguing that the Bureau of Prisons is flouting the law by detaining prisoners deemed to be at low risk of committing crimes again beyond their calculated release dates.
U.S. Prisons Flout Law by Keeping Inmates Past Release Date, A.C.L.U. Says
Tens of thousands of prisoners deemed to be at low risk of committing crimes again have languished in lockup for as long as a year after they reached their release date under the First Step Act.

Covid has weak-to-no seasonality. These are Australian data but Canada is similar. Wandering peaks, not even close to zero in the dips. Yet Public Health is lumping it into "Respiratory Virus Season", along with flu. It's not seasonal, nor any reason to believe it ever will be.
Top graph… what we have going on with C19 (scaled down compared to flu due to most people using RAT, or nothing).

Bottom graph, flu.

No matter how hard you stare at it, C19 graph is just refusing to morph into a tidy spike like flu.

Wishful thinking doesn’t work.

One bad commutation produces ten thousand times the outrage of thousands of unnecessary incarcerations.

If you are chiming in only now, ask yourself why you are demanding perfection here, but not on those we lock up in our sadistic prisons?

Why does mercy anger you but cruelty does not?
