“What happened in Nebraska won’t stay in Nebraska,” writes Shelley Mann of @NebraskaAR, detailing the anti-abortion movement’s deceptive tactics to defeat a Nebraska ballot measure securing access to abortion. It will replicate its tactics everywhere.

Activists say Kentucky’s new prison proposal is a step backward for environmental justice, @raylevyuyeda reports. The federal government says environmental justice communities deserve consideration. Does that apply to those incarcerated?

The Latine experience is not one culture, community, race, tribal affiliation, class, or documentation status, writes @brujacontumbao in an op-ed. What’s the deal with the Latine vote? Mischaracterizing ourselves within the US political & social paradigm.

“Everything in prison is done in a timely manner, except when our lives are on the line,” writes Demetrius Buckley in a new #R2W op-ed. Prison is bound to a punitive clock—a clock that was ignored when it could have saved a life.

Some criminal justice reform advocates argue that CA voters’ rejection of Prop 6 in tandem with support for Prop 36 is a sign of a turn towards a tough-on-crime mentality, @bytamarsarai reports. The “slavery exception” remains in the state's constitution.

What’s the deal with the Latine vote? @brujacontumbao considers in a new op-ed. The diverse Latine experience, shaped by factors like class, immigration status, race, & class, is too often oversimplified—both by outsiders & within our own communities.

Surge in poll watchers raises concerns of potential voter intimidation, @alex__mar reports. Poll watchers are intended to ensure the integrity of the election process, but overreach could lead to disruption, intimidation, & even voter suppression.

This election brought a blow to criminal justice reform advocates in CA. Voters’ final decision on Prop 36 & Prop 6 not only approved increased penalties for theft & some drug offenses, but also rejected a ban on forced prison labor, @bytamarsarai reports.

New werk… my thoughts on Black men being owed an apology after Tuesday’s election
11 Nov 2024
The Harris campaign, media, political pundits, & former President Obama owe Black men an apology, @RealRannMiller writes in an op-ed. Black men were scapegoated before the election based on misleading reports. The real problem—it turns out—was white women.

Three veterans launched a decade-long pipeline fight, @Denali_Sai remembers on #VeteransDay. George Jones, Clarence Givens, & Russell Chisholm saw it as their duty to protect their community against domestic enemies in Appalachia: fossil fuel corporations.
