New documentary film exposing slave labor in Alabama prisons
This film took MASSIVE courage to make
"The two-hour film, made over the course of six years"
The people who made it knew that they would likely be charged with new crimes for having contraband cell phones
Praying for them 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

#Huntsville Alabama, please call your reps today if you haven’t! The lines were clear which means enough of us aren’t calling!
The 5 Calls app makes it easy, even if you’re an awkward anxious millennial such as myself.

The disappearance of the various federal databases is reminding me all too vividly of the memory hole in Orwell's 1984 (as are many other things).
If we were going to live a fictional futuristic dystopia, Brave New World would have been more fun tbh

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law.
They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.
