GREAT NEWS! We still have a lot of work to do but we were thrilled to see PA's Board of Pardons vote unanimously this morning to grant a public hearing for commutation to Marie Scott, who has served 51 years behind bars for a murder she did not commit.
Marie Scott, who’s spent 51 years in prison for murder, will get a public hearing in her quest for an early release
Pennsylvania’s Board of Pardons on Thursday voted to move Marie Scott's application for an early release to the next stage of the process. Scott, 71, is battling breast cancer in prison.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

I don’t have an opinion on this action but I do know that terminally online people who critique a given action w/o proposing some kind of alternative of where people should focus their energy do more harm than good. It’s cynical and dispiriting and it encourages people new to activism to disengage.
Celebrities are pushing Blackout Friday, telling people not to shop at places like Target or Amazon. But it's unclear what Blackout Friday actually stands for – and its creator is a "Mindfulness Coach" who wants to abolish income taxes and the federal government.
