"Prison journalism should not be starved, stifled, or silenced. In a free society, attendant to the needs of all its people, including most especially wards of the state, government institutions should be held accountable to the public—by a free press."
When Reporting Is a Crime - Corinne Shanahan & Andrew Crespo - Inquest
States have restricted, surveilled, and punished prison journalism for decades, with dire consequences—for incarcerated people and for democracy.

YAYYYYY so happy for my home state 🫶
Decision Desk has called both of Georgia's statewide races, for public service commissioner, for Democrats.
If confirmed, this would be a really huge win for Democrats:
It'd be their first statewide win in any non-federal race since 2006!

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Abigail Spanberger wins Virginia governor’s race.

“But nuclear war!” That’s not what’s gong to happen. What’s going to happen is that we will kill people. Those deaths will multiply incalculably from disease, starvation, environmental damage, destabilization. We will create generational trauma. We will erode humanity.

It’s insane how we figured this out 15 years ago.
High school kids can compete with who they want. NCAA athletes need a doctors’ note. Olympians/pros have to show that their T is under 15 ng/dl with a blood test.
It worked. Zero problems. Perfect balance between fairness and inclusion.

“The notion that Pauli Murray’s life, work, and legacy are essentially un-American is something that is abhorrent to me,” said the center’s director.

We have allowed ourselves to believe that it's normal to have 4% of the world's population and 25% of the world's prisoners. We have allowed prisons that violate multiple basic provisions of international humanitarian law. Our prisons are filled with people being literally tortured.

well because everyone knows the answer: they were discussing national policy on signal in order to avoid generating a paper trail
Everyone is blaming Waltz, but why did no one—not even the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard—say that they should not be discussing classified information on Signal.
"A senior administration official told POLITICO on Monday afternoon that they are involved in multiple text threads with other administration staffers on what to do with Waltz"
