The Trump Administration thinks bail reform is a threat to public safety and wants to force states to abandon laws that make our justice system fairer and more effective. As coauthor of one of the only national study of bail reform and crime, here's why he's wrong.

President Trump just signed 2 EOs to force Washington, D.C., and other cities from taking steps to substantially eliminate cash bail as a potential condition of pretrial release, threatening to withhold federal funding from cities that fail to end these policies www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

IBEW member: Personally, I’m excited for Labor Day. My grandfather was in the labor movement for many years, so I see it as a tradition—and it makes me think about my family. Labor Day is a time to think about all of those who sacrificed in order for us to have a better workplace in this country.

As I detailed in WHITE FLIGHT, segregationists in Atlanta absolutely loved public services -- buses and trolleys, parks and pools, golf courses and tennis courts, etc. -- right until they were forced to desegregate and "stolen" from them. They abandoned them and built up private alternatives.

"By age 65, 1 in 5 American women will have [a hysterectomy], according to the most recent data. That’s a crazy-high number—higher than in other parts of the Western world."

Earning enough from a prison job is nearly impossible: The average prison wage maxes out at 52 cents per hour, according to @aclu.org, and many people make pennies per hour. A $3 tube of toothpaste can take days of work to afford — if you’re paid at all. 🎥 : @bychrisvazquez.bsky.social

New York is about to make all prison phone calls free. This move will make it easier for the state’s over 30,000 prisoners to stay connected to loved ones, saving them over $13 million a year. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/n...

Since the spring, federal agents have been patrolling the government buildings in New York City, waiting to arrest migrants as soon as they step out of the courtroom. Jordan Salama reports on an asylum seeker’s experience.

Amy Sherald says the Smithsonian suggested removing a painting of a transgender woman as the Statue of Liberty from her upcoming show at the National Portrait Gallery “to avoid provoking President Trump.” Sherald: “I cannot in good conscience comply with a culture of censorship”

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Like, beyond the fascism, imagine how BORING it would be to have to have, like, a conversation with any of these dudes.

In 1852, Frederick Douglass asked: “What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July?” Inspired by Douglass’ famous question, 20 people ensnared in the sprawling US criminal legal system answered this variation: “What, to the currently or formerly incarcerated American, is your Fourth of July?”

The budget bill’s huge spending on immigration detention comes amid reports of inhumane conditions in ICE facilities and as the administration tried to block congressional oversight. bit.ly/4lm5Itx

The budget bill that passed today makes ICE the largest federal law enforcement agency. The influx of money comes as the administration is dismantling federal oversight of conditions at ICE facilities. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawyers seek permission to file an amended complaint in his civil case in Maryland. Among other things, the amended complaint “includes Abrego Garcia's first-hand account of torture and mistreatment at CECOT…”

US contractors say their colleagues are firing live ammo as Palestinians seek food in Gaza.

US President Donald Trump toured the newly opened immigration detention complex nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz” this week. By opening the complex, the US government is expanding a system already rife with inhumane conditions, neglect, and dehumanizing treatment.

The Supreme Court ruling against nationwide injunctions is one more example of the justices enabling executive overreach at a time when checks and balances are profoundly strained.

For journalists reporting on deaths in a local jail or prison, we created a toolkit: • Tips about the Death in Custody Reporting Act • A free illustration • A list of expert sources You also can schedule a consultation to talk through reporting obstacles.

President Trump continues to get the history of the 14th Amendment wrong. He says birthright citizenship was only granted to newly freed slaves. But the 14th Amendment was clearly broader than that – and everyone at the time knew it.

During deadly heat waves — like the near-historic one that plagued much of the United States this week — one population is particularly vulnerable: people behind bars.

Today is a beautiful day. But on this Juneteenth, my mind is with the people who are still experiencing slavery in American prisons, jails, and detention centers. Today is a good day to re-dedicate ourselves to everyone's liberation.

ICE activity is happening across the country, and will likely draw protests in many places. Trump is authorizing military deployment nationwide, regardless of whether protests involve violence *or are even happening yet.* 14/19

ordering conditions of confinement that are meant to inflict suffering as retribution for recipients of commutations is inherently cruel and materially undermines the spirit of the clemency power www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

Creating a "military installation" at the border is dangerous to democracy, @lizagoitein.bsky.social l tells @maddow.msnbc.com. "An army turned inward can very quickly become an instrument of tyranny, and we have seen that in countries all over the world." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Automobile dependence erodes public health in many ways: blunt force trauma (#1 cause for children and young adults), air pollution (CVD, asthma), noise pollution (QoL, dementia) but perhaps the most pernicious is that it has almost completely displaced walking. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/201...

Arresting a judge for something like this is dangerous and wrong. We know that ICE's presence in courthouses makes our communities less safe. 1/2
